Laurie came to practice meditation after experiencing panic and anxiety attacks that went misdiagnosed for over a year. Eventually an insightful doctor sent her to a therapist who recommended breathing and mindfulness techniques; within weeks she saw a reduction in the attacks and she eventually learned to manage and control her anxiety. Amazed at the transformation she experienced Laurie continued her exploration by attending meditation classes and devouring books on mindfulness and meditation, with particular inspiration from the late Vietnamese Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hanh.
After attending two retreats with Sarah McLean, she felt called to share meditation with others and completed the teacher training at the McLean Meditation Teacher Academy in 2016. Laurie worked as a shopping center lease negotiator for over 20 years and understands the stress of working long hours and maintaining balance in your personal life. She has brought meditation to various workplace environments and private clients, led meditation training with yoga teachers, taught workshops at yoga studios and Mira Costa Community College (in San Diego), and leads in-person and online weekly classes.
Laurie has been practicing meditation and yoga for many years and is a McLean Meditation Institute® Certified Meditation & Mindfulness Instructor (CMMI). She has completed the MMI Mindful Training and MMI Mindfulness Mentor Training; she is also a Certified Yoga Instructor from the School of Gentle Yoga.
Laurie has a daily meditation and yoga practice and her passions include travel, spending time in nature, and reading anything that expands her knowledge of mindfulness and meditation. She truly believes meditation changed, and continues to significantly change, her life and is delighted to teach meditation to anyone with the curiosity to explore what meditation has to offer.
She currently lives in the San Diego, California area.
