Laura Montgomery began her studies in the Fashion Design & Merchandising industry in 2007 and then transferred to earning her Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education in 2012. She served as a K-2nd grade teacher for five years before making the choice to transition away from teaching through the school system to guiding children (and adults) to become lifelong learners of the inner academic world:our mind, body, and spirit connection. Being a writer, artist & vibrational therapy instructor, Laura loves to thread her yoga classes in ways that mirror a story or a song. She co-creates with all ages and genders but specifically specializes in the youth, inner child healing, and women's health: as these are the areas that she, herself, has been conducting back into harmony with her true Self.

Throughout my whole life, I have kept a deep connection to the Earth and the plants and animals that reside here. I am always seeking a natural and simple options to keep me healthy, happy and feeling good. When I found Ayurveda, I realized that it provided me with the foundation of understanding of what it means to live in harmony with nature, how important cultivating peace in my mind, body & soul. This harmony takes shape with how and what I eat, how I sleep, how I exercise and how I care for my mind and emotions. In my private Ayurveda practice, I help guide people to find that balance in their own life. Since each person have their own unique set of challenges, this process is highly customized.

A big part of my education is to teach about plant and tree medicine. For some applications, I used custom created dried herbal mixtures.  For others, I use essential oils.  I have been using medicinal-grade essential oils for over 11 years and have shared my experiences with many people throughout the Midwest. I have a special connection to the medicine of the plants and trees and share that connection through the use of essential oils.  I have seen essential oils work their magic on humans and animals alike.

Along the way of learning, I’ve acquired some credentials.

I am a Certified Ayurveda Practitioner from Kanyakumari Ayurveda & Yoga Wellness Center. I am a Certified Medicinal Aromatherapist (Advanced) through Wisdom of the Earth, a Reiki Master Teacher and have been an active animal communication specialist for many years. I have completed the Raindrop Technique training offered by CARE (Center for Aromatherapy Research & Education). I am a Certified Shamanic Animal Healer by the SpiritHealer School of Shamanism and have completed basic and advanced course work through the Foundation of Shamanic Studies. I am a regular staff member for Camp Dogwood, hold various workshops throughout the Illinois & Wisconsin area.

I love sharing my love of the Earth and connecting with these beautiful energies. I hope you will enjoy reading, learning and sharing.
