Laura’s journey to Pilates culminated through a path of holistic healing. She suffered from chronic headaches, neck and back pain as a child. After a car accident in 1990, she began receiving chiropractic care. In 2003, she became the office manager at Action Chiropractic Center. An interest in holistic nutrition led her to study through Clayton College of Natural health and Hawthorn University. Nutrition became a key factor in managing her pain. While Chiropractic and holistic nutrition improved her quality of life, it did not relieve all of the chronic pain and she found her way to pilates. In 2018 she completed the Polestar Pilates training and mentorship at Monarch Pilates. She has followed her interest in neurological repatterining through continuous studies and a comprehensive Motor Control Oov training.
