"I’ve had chronic low back pain since my second pregnancy. After working with Laurie, not only did I experience physical relief — I understood the emotional weight I’d been carrying too. I now have a daily practice that keeps me pain-free and present."
-Amanda, age 42
"This is the first approach that didn’t treat me like a problem to fix. I felt like I had a partner in my healing. That’s worth everything."
-Sophia, age 55
"I avoided sitting too long, lifting my kid, even long walks. I thought I’d never move freely again. The combination of somatic awareness and movement Laurie taught me changed everything."
-Julie, age 37
The capable one.
The grounded one.
The one who knows how to care for everyone else before herself.
You learned to be strong early.
Not because you wanted to—
but because life required it.
And somewhere along the way,
being needed became your role.
Your identity.
Your way of belonging.
But now it feels heavy.
Quietly exhausting.
Like you’ve been living from your nervous system, not your soul.
A life built from self-sacrifice, not self-honoring.
You have grown past the version of you who survives.
You are ready to return to yourSelf.
To your softness.
To your intuition.
To your body.
To your joy that does not need to be earned.
You are ready to be:
Held.
Witnessed.
Seen.
Without having to prove or perform.
Root to Rise is a 6-month intimate mentorship + ritual community
for eldest daughters of immigrant families who are ready to:
Dissolve survival-based self-sacrifice
Rewire over-responsibility, perfectionism, and emotional labor patterns
Reclaim a relationship with their body that is tender, loving, and safe
Learn to lead from ease, softness, and embodied power
Build a life that nourishes them as deeply as they nourish others
This is not self-improvement.
This is identity repatterning.
This is ancestral healing through the nervous system.
This is remembering who you were before you learned to cope.
We gather in two rhythms:
Weekly Virtual Circle
A space for witnessing, breath, gentle embodiment, and shared reflection.
You do not have to be the strong one here.
Monthly In-Person Ceremony (Los Angeles)
Nature, ritual, movement, sisterhood.
A place where your heart can be held.
You’ll be guided into rituals that:
Slow your pace
Soften your body
Restore your capacity to feel and receive
Rebuild self-trust and inner safety
When you leave a session, you will feel:
Seen. Understood. Slowed. Softened. Awake in your power.
Grateful and loving toward your body. Relaxed. Overflowing.
This is for you if:
You are the “responsible one” in your family
You love deeply and tend to overgive
You are seeking a new way of belonging that includes you
Your body has been asking for a slower, gentler life
You want to lead—not from effort—but from quiet, unshakeable rootedness
This is not for you if:
You are looking for a quick fix
You prefer intellectual processing instead of embodied transformation
You want someone to tell you what to do instead of guiding your own remembering
For the first 3 women joining this founding cycle:
$2,400 – $3,600
(Payment options available)
This is a rite-of-passage into a new identity.
Your yes is a reclamation.
There is nothing to force.
No performance required.
Just a quiet recognition.
You don’t have to hold it all anymore.
You get to be held now.
Send me a message that says:
"I’m ready to soften."
We will schedule a gentle conversation to feel into alignment—
no pressure, no convincing, just presence.
Your return begins here.
Unlike a general yoga class, yoga therapy is:
✅ Personalized: We tailor everything — movements, breathwork, daily rituals — to your unique pain patterns, nervous system, and lifestyle.
✅ Trauma-informed: We approach pain as part of your full story — physical, emotional, energetic — not just a mechanical issue.
✅ Sustainable: No aggressive fixes or quick hacks. We focus on long-term change that helps you build trust in your body again.
