Description

Healing Practitioner | Retreat Support | Nature & Animal Lover on the Move :-)

Hello, I'm Laura – a warm, calm & grounded presence with a deep love for animals, nature, people, bodies, peace, and spaces that invite stillness and truth & dipping into the unseen layers of life. I'm a long time meditator and feeling some craving for nature-soul time atm, new experiences and to receive as well as to give.

I run -The Body Sanctuary- on the lovely little Mediterranean island of Gozo, where I offer somatic therapy, intuitive massage, and energy-based kundalini and taoist practices to support nervous system healing, presence, embodiment & body awakening. I love love love my work, what I call dancing with bodies, but sadly due to Brexit I have to leave my home Europe for several months.

I was feeling into what I'd most love to do this summer whilst I'm away, and I kept getting an image of staying in some beautiful retreat type space, with lovely warm-hearted soulful types where I can help out, bring some of my colourful gifts and contribute, be in peace, meet some lovely new people and learn, exchange, collaborate. I love creating spaces and atmospheres and bringing beauty.


💗 WHAT I CAN OFFER YOU:

- Massage & Bodywork (professional level – available as a paid/or myb donation service at your centre)

- Kundalini Activation & Somatic Therapy Sessions (professional offering)

- Meditation or Embodiment Classes (available to volunteer for retreats/community)

- Retreat Hosting & Light Support (House-keeping, kitchen, gardening, vegetable growing, space care/ creation, guest welcome)

- Myb House/ pet-sitting if in a beautiful nature place or nearby somewhere I could offer treatments ( I do also do some online sessions)

- Animal Care – I love animals deeply and have previously run a pet-sitting business. I’m always interested in how the type of healing work can be shared with or alongside animals.

- Open to interesting projects :)

- Sadly I can't teach yoga atm, as I had a knee injury myself a couple of months ago, but can offer meditation/ energy practices/ mindfulness/ somatic based movement-sound, breathwork/ trauma-informed sessions. I can also teach massage and bodywork. Would also love to receive and get back into doing yoga daily, if there's a space or opportunity for me to do :)

🧘 A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

- I love quiet mornings, beingness, enjoying and drinking pleasure from the simple things of life, sipping tea in presence, barefoot walks, being in my body, exploring and the gentle rhythms of retreat life

- I am Peaceful, kind and emotionally attuned. Also Hardworking and passionate about things I love :) typical taurus!

- I value community, but also love quiet, solo time – I find it essential to stay balanced

- I like to meditate daily and find nourishment in the simple, sacred, and slow.

- I do ideally require a private space/ room to myself to rest and recharge properly, as I find it hard to switch off sometimes :)

- Very happy in nature, with animals, or in gently held spaces

- Curious, observant, creative and respectful of the flow of a place, I always love to add to and bring creativity and flair to places.

- I’m always curious how my healing work can expand — especially in relationship with animals, land, and energy.

———————————————————

If you have or you're creating a retreat or soulful wellness space and open to integrating experienced therapies for your guests, I’d love to connect. I’m also happy to contribute through teaching meditation, sharing somatic tools, or supporting daily flow in grounded, creative, warm-hearted and practical ways. If your tending a garden, or caring for animals, I’d also be honoured to share my presence and gifts in exchange for a place to land & explore :))

Warmly
Laura
