Meet the artist

Welcome, I'm Laurie, 

As a child growing up in Southern California, I found refuge in nature and on my horse, riding through the canyons and spending time by the ocean. I have always found solace in quiet, wild spaces and feel a deep connection to the land, plants, and animals.

For the past thirty years, I lived in or near Yosemite National Park, working with the Yosemite Wilderness Backcountry Team and dedicating my time to visitor education and the protection of wild lands. I have been fortunate to hike hundreds of miles throughout the Sierra Nevada and to spend countless nights sleeping beneath the starlit sky, living in rhythm and pace that is aligns with nature. 

Later in life, I began exploring the healing arts and energy medicine. I am now a Life Coach, a certified Reiki Master, and a dedicated student of Qigong and other traditional healing practices.
