In 2015, not long after the birth of her daughter, Laura was involved in a serious mountain bike accident which resulted in two major knee surgeries. She discovered acupuncture during her surgery recovery & it changed the course of her life.

The treatments she received not only supported a speedy recovery but more surprisingly, opened Laura up to exploring a more conscious way of living & a stronger, more authentic connection to herself & the world around her. This transformational journey became an impetus for major life changes.

Laura embarked on a journey of deep inner work, exploration of Divine, the anatomy of Spirit, body energy systems, human behavior and the study of Five Element Acupuncture as an apprentice, with Gerad Kite.

Leaving a 12 year career as a college basketball coach behind, Laura moved from the United States back to Athlone, Ireland, where she now resides and has a busy private practice.

The Five Element acupuncture tradition honors the journey of each individual & in this way offers deeply transformational treatments. Specializing in women’s wellness – fertility, emotional & mental health, grief – Laura supports women at all the various stages on the journey of self discovery & welcomes all who wish to activate the innate healing wisdom of the body to support optimal health and wellbeing.
