Bodywork, Fitness and Well-being Clifton

Hello and Welcome to Auraflow, I’m Laura and I work with women who are experiencing stress, overwhelm and anxiety which can often lead to inflammation, physical discomfort and chronic pain. I call this stuck energy primarily held in the fascial and energetic bodies.  When we experience these, we are holding on to past emotions, events and traumas that have manifested into physical dis-ease and have not been able to be fully processed by the conscious mind. Our bodies create a fortress around our trauma to keep us safe and we can find ourselves living in survival mode, where our nervous system can be in a constant state of fight, flight or freeze – perhaps a combination of all 3.

As a Body and Energy Worker, I facilitate your sessions by holding space whilst your bodies (physically, energetically) realign, recalibrate and release holding patterns, subconscious beliefs and old experiences. Whilst at other times, a good massage or Aromatherapy treatment to alleviate you of everyday stresses and bring you back into balance and harmony is all you need.

My aim is to help bring you back into your body, creating a feeling of safety within yourself. Bringing in space for wellness, wholeness and authenticity so you can live the life that you have always wanted the other side of pain, discomfort and uncertainty. We are the Holy Trinity in our hearts, minds and bodies and one can’t heal without the other. Everything is connected and every way influences another part of our healing journey, propelling us forward to uncover those hidden parts of ourselves, perhaps the parts we don’t like or haven’t had the courage to meet yet.    

Working with the body holistically this way has been a part of my personal quest for embodiment, beginning to be in the world rather than feeling on the outside looking in. Having spent much of my life feeling like I was trapped inside my body, I started my healing journey 10 years ago in a bid to feel like I was truly living rather than being an observer, and an invisible one at that. Everything that I bring into my treatments are things I have experienced for myself and have had positive outcomes and changes. Body and energy work can be a great supplement to other forms of healing and therapy, should they not interfere.

 As a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists, I am deeply committed to providing high-quality care that focuses on your specific needs. Each treatment I offer is centered around a holistic approach to relaxation and release, allowing you to let go of accumulated stress, tensions, and the strains of a busy lifestyle. My techniques aim to encourage release wherever you are ready, fostering a profound sense of rejuvenation and balance.

Movement is key for so many factors of our health and wellbeing. It facilitates moving energy around the body, stimulating lymphatic flow, mobilising the spine and the joints, increasing a mind-body connection and a feeling of joy in our hearts. Without movement, our bodies and our energy stagnate and we can experience a low level of mood. Group exercise particularly increases a sense of camaraderie by sharing the experience with other like minded people and even friendships beyond the class!
Currently, all my classes take place within gyms across Bristol, however, if you’re interested in one off events, please sign up to my mailing list

During lockdown Laura has done some fantastic online classes including a variety of stretch, strength, power and Trigger Point Pilates which have been incredibly beneficial to us all. She also understands people’s injuries and is always able to offer advice on appropriate exercises to help with their rehabilitation.

I thoroughly recommend Laura!  I used to attend her attend her “in person” classes, but since lockdown have been attending the online Pilates & Body Balance style classes.  Laura is a great instructor and makes you feel comfortable and safe, regardless of level of fitness or flexibility.  Her classes have helped me enormously during lockdown and I feel my flexibility has improved

Laura is a brilliant teacher. She gives really clear directions, tailors the class perfectly to the attendees and varies the classes so that they are not boring and repetitive. Her enthusiasm is infectious

S.P.

I have enjoyed and benefited from Laura’s classes both on line and at David Lloyd. She explores her knowledge of Pilates to benefit her class participants and introduces different aspects with additional inexpensive equipment. I would highly recommend her approach to teaching by trying out her classes.

Laura has hosted some wonderful classes during lockdown, zoom classes that vary between Pilates and body balance as well as some trigger point Pilates. A Fabulous part of my week, motivational and challenging enough for a good workout. Thank you.
