"I am here to help guide you to what has always been there, your truest most authentic Self. I feel honored to meet you."
about Laura Quinn (she/her)
I was born in San Francisco, but Toronto is my home. I have had some things come easily in life, and others with great challenge. What I’ve learned is that, as much as I once wanted to control my life and direct all that I desired, the truest gift is to step aside and allow my heart and soul to guide me, then have the courage to act. Surrender.
I have lived through the throes of life, through moments that brought me to my knees, yet I have always carried a deep sense of steadiness. This grounding is something I was born with. Alongside life's challenges, I have also experienced miracles and beauty beyond what I once thought possible.
I grew up immersed in spirit and ceremony. From a young age, I explored healing, energy, intuition, and spirituality, and was introduced to many religions, traditions, and ways of knowing. I served as fire keeper at sun-dance ceremonies, sat in temples in India and served tea to woman gathered in circle preparing for childbirth. My greatest gift in life has been the blessing of my 3 children. They are my teachers and my heart. I am a “truth seeker” and I stand for those who stand outside the circle. I have a voice and I can use it, though I am often quiet.
My values are guided by inclusivity, intersectionality, equity and belonging. These have been shaped by my lived experience and as a member of the queer community.
Qualifications:
I am an intuitive healer, certified Kundalini yoga & meditation teacher, women's circle group facilitator, ceremonialist, and sound healer. My specialty includes a focus toward Shuniya, in the Kundalini tradition this means the point of stillness. I believe that in this stillness your highest potential flows through you. I also think there is a place and time where we need to speak out loud, we long to be seen and heard, witness and to listen deeply, in a held space of community. This is different from therapy, and it’s different than speaking with your best friend, this is what we do in circle work. As a therapist (pre licensed), this completes the path of what I consider soul work as we address the mind through language, somatic experience and in therapeutic alliance. There is not one path or one way to meet life with meaning and purpose so move where you feel called. I feel blessed to share in soul care in ways that have supported me deeply over the years.
