Laura is a settler of European descent who is humbled and privileged to live and work as an uninvited guest and caretaker on land that was stolen from the Quw'utsun people in what is traditionally called Hwutl’upnets in Hul’qumi’nim, meaning “Deep-Watered Place” (colonially known as Maple Bay), on Vancouver Island. Laura’s medical background is in respirology and critical care, but her clinical focus now is sleep medicine which she practices in the context of lifestyle medicine. At a time in her life when she needed it most, Laura had the opportunity to experience, with the help of psychedelic medicine and human connection, the profound change that comes with true self compassion. She has learned to trust her heart and follow what it tells her, and this has led to the privilege and honour of becoming a member of the Therapsil team.
