Hey, I'm Lau!
I'm a holistic nutritionist, a trauma-informed somatic practitioner, and a sound healer specializing in the neuroscience of trauma and the nutritional science of nervous system repair.
My mission is simple: helping people just like you to heal and break free (a.k.a. rebel) from anxiety, lifelong people-pleasing, and the energetic ties that are no longer serving them.
Why I do What I do
Growing up in a highly dysfunctional home, I learned early on to make myself as small as possible. My feelings? Rarely mattered. My role? To keep the peace and everyone else happy.
For most of my life, I felt like I was somehow too much and not enough—at the same time. Which felt not only confusing, but also so freaking exhausting.
I silenced my truth in order to stay safe and loved, but that silence came at the cost of never-ending overwhelming waves of anxiety and depression (also called anxious depression).
I had no clue how to navigate what I was dealing with at home. And although I did my best to cope with it all by doing endless hours of research about trauma and different healing modalities, it seemed as if no matter what I did and or tried, I'd always find myself back a square one again - feeling anxious, overwhelmed , and people pleasing just to find some sense of relief.
Until one day… the universe decided to give me the biggest most beautiful gift ever. I had a complete mental breakdown in every sense of the word and wound up spending a week in a crisis center, barely holding onto life.
Although that week was one of the hardest weeks of my life, it was also one of the greatest ones because it finally gave me the chance to speak my truth for the very first time.
I spoke more in those seven days than I had in my entire life. And for the first time, I finally had hope that maybe my life could be different - maybe I could heal and actually live the life that I'd always dreamed of having.
It definitely didn't happen overnight, but one day at a time I started healing with the help of nutrition, neuroscience, safe supportive connections, play and just a touch of magic.
I rebuilt myself from the ground up. It was the hardest thing I've ever done - but man it was it ever worth it. And now?
I get to pass all the amazing tools that I learned along the way on to you! If I can come back from where I was, stressed out of my mind, and people pleasing like my life depended on it (because it literally did lol) I know—deep in my bones—that you can too can break free and rebel from the chronic stress, anxiety, and people pleasing tendencies that have been keeping you stuck too.
The Secret Sauce:
Nutrition + Neuroscience + Play
-
I combine nutrition + neuroscience + play (yes, actual fun + creativity) to help rewire your nervous system faster than traditional approaches.
-
I draw from almost a decade of experience in the natural health industry—working in the supplements departments of health food stores, working for some of the largest online wellness brands, and 1:1 clients.
-
I bridge science (polyvagal theory, the neuroscience of trauma, and the nutritional science of nervous system repair) with soul (voice activation exercises, somatic healing, and creative arts adventures).
-
I add in just a touch of magic into the mix (because who doesn't love magic right?)
Because I believe (and science backs it up) that when we mix in play and joy into our healing journeys, our nervous system learns safety and regulation at lightning speed.
My Professional Background
Before becoming a practitioner, I was first a researcher. In late high school, I fell in love with the idea that food and plants could help us heal—not just our bodies, but also our minds. After studying jazz voice and theatre, I realized I wanted to use my voice in a different way: to help people to heal through sharing what I'd learned.
That led me to studying holistic nutrition and to going on a never-ending learning adventure into all things nervous system, trauma recovery, gut health, hormones, and the magic of how our body + mind connect.
I had the chance to work in and manage the supplement departments of some of Montreal’s best health food stores (TAU, Rachelle Bery, Biodor Produits Naturels). I've trained others on thousands of products and natural health solutions. Later, I expanded my reach by working with e-commerce wellness brands like ShopCBD, Good Protein, and Queen of the Thrones—sharing my expertise with thousands more across the Americas.
Along the way, I was interviewed by Healthline and PopSugar for my knowledge of CBD and the nervous system and I hope to continue spreading all the knowledge that I've had the privilege to learn up until now.
Today, I combine almost a decade of industry experience with trauma-informed training and sound healing to support people who are ready to break free from chronic stress, anxiety, and people-pleasing tendencies.
