Dr. Laura Weber Garrison of Better Wellness Naturally, LLC, holds a Ph.D. in Holistic Health, is Board-certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, and has over two decades of experience working with challenged and at-risk populations. Laura specializes in holistic, integrative yoga-based therapeutics with an emphasis on restorative modalities. She is certified as an Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist through the Wellness Institute and continues her studies as a practitioner, instructor, and, as she says, “is always a student.” She also believes strongly in the therapeutic qualities of medicinal plants.
Dr. Garrison is also certified as a Yoga Therapist by the International Association of Yoga Therapists; by iRest Integrative Yoga Nidra as an Instructor and by the Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT Continuing Education Provider. Laura is the author of numerous articles, courses, workshops, and training manuals and leads psychedelic and yoga retreats both stateside and abroad. The retreats she facilitates are restorative and therapeutic yoga-based, and where allowed by law (primarily Jamaica at this time), include the integration of psychedelics (psilocybin.)
Laura utilizes a holistic heart-centered approach in conjunction with iRest Integrative Restoration yoga, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), mat-based yoga, and somatic-release therapies to facilitate the healing process with and for her clients in her private practice. This process incorporates the innate wisdom and healing capacities of a person’s mind, body, spirit, and emotions. She believes that this approach also necessitates ongoing, heart-centered dedication to her own learning, self-exploration, and personal growth, and thus, she, too, is fully committed to this process for herself. In that regard, she likewise continues her own work as a patient and a student with the Wellness Institute and other top institutions such as Hoffman.
In her private practice, Laura has worked extensively with clients in the areas of stress and anxiety management, PTSD and CPTSD, mind-body dis-ease, depression, life transitions, trauma, abuse, eating disorders, grief, mood disorders, and addictions.
