Her unique approach to Feng Shui has been credited with reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, and has helped improve focus, sleep, and the betterment of a person’s overall well-being and financial health. Her Feng Shui consulting firm spans across the United States from Long Island to New York City and California, and provides international Feng Shui Consulting services.   

One of the best ways to learn about the Five Elements Theory (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) in Feng Shui is to spend time in nature and observe the cycles of change. You can do this by walking your yard, visiting preserves and state parks, and really spending time at national parks. The Five Elements Theory was developed by observing changing seasons and cyclical patterns: constructive, controlling, and destructive cycles.

She is currently conducting research for her upcoming book that focuses on bridging the gap between the ancient wisdom of Feng Shui and the psychological, neurological, and physiological health benefits it provides. The intention for these collaborative studies is to establish the practice of Feng Shui as a credible practice of encouraging people to live healthier lifestyles.

Making sure she practices what she preaches, Laura allocates time to her love of the arts. You often find her circulating within the artist community, exhibiting her award-winning drawings and paintings throughout Long Island, New York City, Brooklyn, and California galleries. Music is another passion of Laura’s, which has evolved to her playing percussion for various bands, including The Dee Harris Jazz-blue Project, Raga 2, Shaman, Throughline, Jack Licitra's band, The Waterfall, and “Island Samba” of Long Island, NY.

Laura is a REMO-endorsed Rhythm2Recovery and Music for People® improvisational trained drum circle facilitator. She often collaborates with Brooklyn-based musician Todd Rodgers to facilitate monthly drum circles throughout New York City and the overall tri-state region. For indoor drum circles and musical improv jam sessions, you’ll find them hosting at the Village Zendo in Tribeca or at Anima Mundi Apothecary in Brooklyn, NY. For outdoor gatherings (when the weather allows), they can be spotted near Cherry Hill in Central Park.

Throughout Long Island, NY, Laura facilitates ongoing public improvisational group drum circle and sound healing sessions for adults, seniors, teens, and children. These events are sponsored by the Nassau and Suffolk L.I. County library system.
