Medium

I am Laura Winters. A bright light healer full of compassion, intelligence, reality, and a little bit of tough love. I have been given the gift of healing hands and an open heart to support others to step into their full potential. In my human experience, I am a Speech Language Pathologist, Reiki Master Teacher, wife, mom of 3 children, pet mom, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Since I was a child, I knew I was here to achieve something in this life bigger than myself. In a series of unfortunate events in 2020, I was led on a health journey followed by a huge awakening. When conventional medicine could not help me, holistic wellness, bodywork, and energy healing held the key to begin healing my body, mind, and spirit. I had no idea I was in a constant state of fight or flight and when I was able to achieve what I believe is homeostasis, I had the capacity for manifestation and exponential growth. Falling into fear and stepping into my light has led to this practice of holistic therapy. I now believe that disease is a symptom of something deeper in our physical and energetic bodies. With CFT and Intuitive Healing, I believe we can peel back the layers of trauma to reveal who you were truly meant to be, absent of fear, full of creativity, gratitude, and healing. I received a message from my guides yelling loudly, “Laura, Step into your Light!” Now it’s your turn to step into “Your Light” and shine for all the world to see!

The Holistic Experience

  • The Gillespie Approach- Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) is a beautiful marriage of craniosacral therapy and myofascial release, providing gentle support of the body’s natural healing abilities, unwinding, and releasing of physical and emotional trauma of the craniosacral fascial system. This promotes optimal function of the brain and regulation of the nervous system. It was founded by Dr Barry Gillespie in the 1970’s as a periodontist while searching for his own healing.

  • Fascia is a continuous layered web intertwined and envelopes every cell, tissue, gland, muscle, and organ of the body. Physical and emotional trauma is stored in the fascia and can cause strain on various systems, at the sight of injury and also in other areas of the body. You may feel that your problem is originating in one area, when in fact it can be coming from another. CFT can assist the body in freeing itself of facial strain which can cause pain, illness, and disease.

    Because the fascia is intertwined in every cell, CFT is not isolated to one area of the body. CFT can address the head, mouth, jaw, neck, shoulders, stomach, back, hips, legs, knees, feet, and other areas of the body. Where there is fascia, there can be fascial unwinding.

  • Progress in CFT is measured in the brain cycle. Your brain cycle is the inherent motion of your brain expanding and contracting. During the brain cycle, the cerebrospinal fluid flows from the brain to the spinal cord and out into the body. It is essential for detoxification of the brain and body. Ideally, every person would be at over a 200 second brain cycle. Most people are walking around with a zero second brain cycle! When your system is able to open, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and released fascia assist in ease of movement, and healing of the mind and body. The quality and length of the brain cycle is highly correlated to your experience of health and wellness. You will also feel better!

  • CFT can help facilitate healing of many conditions, including but not limited to: Anxiety, Concussion, Depression, Dysphagia, Digestive Issues, Headache/Migraine, Pain, Scars, Sleep Issues, TMJ, Voice Disorders, Whiplash

  • With the rise of neurological conditions, it is essential that we take the time to nurture our brain. Each traumatic event that occurs can tighten the fascia around or craniosacral system, restricting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. CFT unwinds fascial stain that restricts our brain’s ability to detoxify, clearing our waste, toxins, and chemicals that can change the way your brain functions. In my 13 year career as a Speech Language Pathologist, I have had a special interest in cognitive communication skills and disorders. It is my personal opinion that with CFT, we are promoting optimal brain health by allowing the brain to breathe and detoxify. In addition, when we treat the whole body, including our most debilitating illness, then we allow our brain healing and space for clearer thinking.

  • While CFT provides much healing in the physical body, there is also healing in the emotional and spiritual bodies. During CFT, some people experience emotional releases, visualizations, or unexplained occurrences. Healing can be far beyond our comprehension on many different levels. CFT is a fully encompassing therapeutic modality, giving your body, mind, and spirit the gentle support that it needs to heal itself.

  • Intuitive healing is a diverse method of techniques utilizing intuitive abilities for the purpose of healing. I am able to connect with Spirit, angels, archangels, spirit guides, and a multitude of other helpers on the “other side.” They are able to provide healing for your highest good and can convey messages to me to communicate to you.

    Example of techniques utilized: reiki, crystal healing, communication and/or healing from spiritual beings, entity clearing and protection, channeling, and mediumship.

What others are saying.

  • "To be honest, I was a skeptic.

    I wasn’t sure how such gentle pressure could have much of an effect. My experience with CFT felt like waking up from the most restful night sleep ever, without actually sleeping…although I was in a partial dream-like state for a good portion of the session. There was dancing and airborne runnng… It’s hard to explain and harder to understand unless you experience it.

    Following my session I felt light, for lack of a better word. I’ve noticed improvement in my energy, less body aches, and feeling more relaxed. Laura took time to explain the process and answer my questions. The passion she has to support others on their mind and body healing journey is inspiring.”

  • “I had such an amazing experience with Laura and CFT!

    I was able to finally relax during my session and saw the benefits that night. I rested really well those first few nights and had vivid dreams. I saw a slight reduction in my blood pressure which has recently been elevated with stress. Laura did a great job explaining the process and purpose of CFT and I would definitely recommend her services.

  • “Laura's therapy was so helpful!

    She was very patient and intuitive. She allowed me to consider where I felt tension and guided her treatment very specific to my response. I went hoping to learn about CFT and Laura’s careful guidance helped me release pain and fear I would have never been able to put into words! In 2016, at the age of 38, I had a hip replacement. Laura helped me to release both the physical pain and the worry I carry about the prospect of future joint issues. Her movements and words paired perfectly throughout our time together! I was so relaxed the entire day. Her therapy truly gave me back trust in my body. I really can’t describe the release and comfort she provided but I know that she will be helpful to anyone for anything!

  • "After having a baby there is a lot of stress

    and health suffering as the mom puts her children first. Laura had reached out and started to talk to me about Craniosacral Fascial Therapy and how this would help release tension patterns from delivery and carrying a child for 41 weeks. I could practically feel the energy thumming through my body as she worked. She listened to my body as if it was her own, finding different spots that I didn’t even know I was holding tension. The next couple nights I slept better than ever, my dreams were wildly vivid, and I felt energized like I was awakened from a fog. The energy that surrounded us while Laura worked and that followed was truly euphoric. Her follow up and after care was extremely thorough with her advise and guidance on the next steps in my healing journey.

  • "I recently received Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) and energy healing

    from Laura, and it was truly life-changing! I had been suffering from ear, jaw, and neck pain for a year and had been taking lots of over-the-counter medication to manage my symptoms. However, after just one session of CFT with Laura, I have only needed a minimal amount of pain medication two weeks later.

    Laura was incredibly knowledgable and explained everything she was doing and what we would do next. I am excited to continue with further sessions and see what improvements they will bring to my overall health and life.

    Thank you, Laura!

  • "I received CFT from Laura and I am very happy

    with the results. CFT is a gentle and non-invasive treatment that helps release tension in the fascia, the connective tissue.

    It was a relaxing and soothing experience for me as a person with a lot of mental health struggles. Laura was very professional and attentive. She used her hands to gently touch my head, neck, and back and applied light pressure to release any restrictions or blockages in my fascia. I felt a sense of warmth, tingling and relief as the tension melted away.

    I felt more balanced, calm and connected to myself and my surroundings. While she was working on me I felt an opening of energy in my solar plexus that I have never experienced before. I also had a pain in my shoulder that was relieved.

    I highly recommend CFT to anyone who wants to improve their health and well-being mentally, physically, and emotionally. It’s a safe and effective therapy that works with your body’s natural healing abilities. Thank you Laura for your amazing work and care.
