Philosophy & Vision
I am a certified somatic psychotherapist, counsellor, mover, yoga teacher and bodyworker. With more than a decade of experience in body-based therapies. I support sensitive women and men, seeking to transform intergenerational trauma through a somatic and spiritually-oriented approach to therapy. This work may involve a synthesis of talk therapy, eco-therapy, somatic experiencing, movement, art and sound therapy. My work is a trauma informed, strengths based and person centred model of care.
Background
Laura's work draws upon her background in Counselling, Holistic Humanistic Psychotherapy, Anthropology and her Masters in Cultural heritage which was inspired by her involvement in multiple communities abroad.
This brought about a strong understanding of the importance of community, creative expression and knowing one's identity, values and beliefs. Laura integrates this with her passion for creative expression, dance, spiritual development, holistic health, yoga, somatics, wellness, cosmology, intangible cultural heritage and environmental sustainability.
With over a decade of experience in contemplative practices and immersion in embodiment, yoga, philosophy and more, Laura hopes to be of service to others.

Therapy Approach
My forte is working from a somatic approach by reducing stress and anxiety physiologically, through changing the autonomic nervous system and discharging trauma. I am a great fit for those who are longing to reclaim their personal power that may have been lost due to trauma and abuse; to cultivate self-worth and self-compassion; and embody a deeper authenticity in their lives. I offer care for challenges with anxiety and overwhelm; shame and inner criticism; spiritual awakenings and more.

A conversation with Laura Emilia Escudero
-
The three main modalities described below are what I refer to as the three threads of my work .
Each one has a unique approach to the whole human being. In the evolution of this work, that has spanned almost two decades of learning,
each of these core modalities influence each other and are slowly being woven together to form the one central offering.
Process Oriented Psychotherapy & Counselling gives us a way to delve deeper into the psyche and soul whilst weaving in the mental and emotional body;
Somatic Movement therapy and Bodywork is a gentle, subtle, yet powerful way to work with the many layers of the body and the inherent intelligence within;
and Yogic Kashmir Shavism Tantric Philosophy and the 5 element theory from traditional Chinese medicine provides us with a unique map of the soul,
almost like the blueprint that we can continue to refer back to.
One thing they all have in common is that they don't treat the human being, the earth or the cosmos as static and fixed. In fact, change is at the heart of all three.
Thus, The Work is not in any way complete and, I imagine, will continue to evolve for the rest of my days.

My sessions integrate a blend of bodywork, somatic humanistic psychology, trauma-informed care, movement education and expressive arts
that help to facilitate and support positive change.
I also combine my current graduate counselling and process work (psychotherapy branch) with somatic movement therapy for holistic embodied psychotherapy.
My work is a trauma informed, strengths based and person centred model of care. -
Laura loves to be of service to others and to witness how people can heal themselves, realising that they don't have to be stuck and can come back to alignment and healing in a grounded way.
Her work also helps her to be centred, humbled and connected to her own path.
