Laura is a Certified Consulting Hypnotist and has been an active member of the National Guild of Hypnotists since 2015. She specializes in hypnosis for weight management and holds an associate degree in science with a focus on food and nutrition. As a Type I insulin-dependent diabetic, Laura brings both personal experience and deep understanding to help individuals achieve balance and enjoy healthy foods naturally.

Her professional background includes five years of coaching patients at the Center for Weight Management under Dr. Vern Weisberg in Portland, Maine. Laura is also certified as a medical assistant, dental assistant, and phlebotomist. Beyond healthcare, she spent 12 years as a successful real estate broker. Additionally, she is a yin yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner, with hobbies that include gardening and quilting.

Laura’s life is rich with diverse experiences. In 1978, she and her husband, Zig, left city life behind to pursue their dream of living off the land. They purchased 32 acres of forest in Down East Maine and embraced life off the grid for over a decade. Together, they built a sawmill, a log cabin, and several small businesses, including the insulation cutter, which was sold through Stanley Tools. Along the way, they raised two incredible children, who are now adults, and are proud grandparents to three grandchildren.
