About Laura

Laura is an artist, compassionate teacher, and dedicated facilitator of healing work.

She is passionate about leading open-hearted creatives, facilitators of healing work, mindful mothers, and community conscious entrepreneurs to draw out the most connected, creative, blissful, magnetic, and abundant version of themselves. She holds space for her clients to feel safe in their body, tap into their authentic desires, excavate their message and magic so they can share their valuable voice, vision, and wisdom with the world.

Her practice specializes in working with those in high stress environments to help them overcome the compulsive patterns that often occur as a result of their profession and lifestyle. Moving her clients from burnout to flow, and from overwhelm to easeful abundance. Laura uses a combination of Reiki, guided visualization and the breath to align the subconscious mind with the conscious desires magnetizing their highest dreams and visions.

In addition to being a certified Reiki Master, Breathwork facilitator, NGH Hypnotist and Institute for Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Laura holds a BFA in acting from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.

She has created experiences for Goop, Google, Maha Rose, Healhaus, Maggie Flanigan studio, AMAW and has brought meditation to law firms and corporations across NYC with Marino Corporate Wellness. She is the owner and founder of Reiki for Actors and Pensiero Healing Arts.

As a high performer who has struggled with stress management, anxiety, and addictive behaviors, she understands how important it is to transform this energy in order for passion, prosperity, and authentic expression to thrive. Laura’s professional mission is to give her clients the tools needed to lead a fuller, more empowered, and creative life.

Laura spent her 20’s pursuing a career in acting. As she drudged through the aspiring actor grind of auditions, agent meetings, headshots and competition, she was introduced to Reiki and Breathwork. Through receiving Reiki and Breathwork and then getting initiated as a Reiki Master and Breathwork Facilitator, she had a spiritual awakening.

This awakening made clear to her the pain artists, especially actors, endure on a daily basis. Actors are under constant scrutiny auditioning, meeting with casting directors and forced to market themselves as a product. If they are lucky enough to book the role, they will endure rigorous work hours and emotionally draining scenes. Her dream is to help heal the body, mind and spirit of actors and artists clearing their energy fields and giving them the clarity to create. It is in this place of physical, emotional and mental freedom that creativity thrives.

Laura remains passionate about working with actors but as her business grows, so does her clientele, and in order to reflect the expansion, Reiki for Actors has become Pensiero Healing Arts.

A beautiful client of Laura’s told her that her last name means a little gift, a forget me not, in Italian. She hopes her expanded practice can be that gift you give yourself, a place to reconnect, to love, and to thrive. 

Laura lives in Fairfield, CT with her husband and two beautiful children. They spend their time relaxing at the beach, walking through town, making Play-Doh sculptures, and dancing and laughing as much as possible.
