Laura is a gifted herbalist, an adept healer, and fundamentally just an all-around kind, generous, and super cool person. I’ve been working with Laura for four months now. I initially sought out an herbalist to help me with chronic hormonal imbalances and the effects of reproductive & sexual trauma. Laura was patient and understanding as I explained to them my struggles during our intake appointment. They asked thoughtful questions; the entire process was grounded and comprehensive. They were responsive to the (many!) questions I had. This same care and attentiveness was present during our follow-up appointment one month later and has persisted throughout our working relationship.
The herbal blends and teas Laura concocted for me have been potent and effective. Initially, my system underwent an adjustment period—Laura was incredibly supportive and present for me during this time. Once I got past this initial period, my whole system began rejoicing from the particular herbs Laura prescribed. I started to feel closer to the earth, more in tune with the non-human world. I can feel that slowly, my hormones are better regulating themselves, and my PCOS symptoms have become much more manageable. I trust that with more time, I will continue to see further improvements.
I also fully support House of Origins’ gender-inclusive mandate and the way in which Laura embodies this in their herbalism practice. I feel safe and seen by Laura, which is so, so important when healing reproductive & sexual trauma.
I highly recommend working with Laura and supporting their herbalism practice. Truly, they are a special person and a force of good in this world.
