Meet Laura – Licensed Acupuncturist & Holistic Practitioner

At Serenity Acupuncture and Healing, Laura brings over seven years of clinical experience and a heartfelt commitment to whole-person care. A Virginia Medical Board–Licensed Acupuncturist and NCCAOM Board-Certified practitioner, she specializes in treating a spectrum of physical and emotional conditions:

 

  • Musculoskeletal pain (lower back, neck, knees)

  • Migraines and injury recovery
  • Stress, anxiety, and depression
  • Insomnia and emotional exhaustion
  • Digestive and respiratory issues
  • Women’s health and hormonal shifts

 

Laura’s approach integrates Acupuncture, Craniosacral Therapy (CST), and Aromatherapy into one cohesive healing experience—supporting not just physical relief, but emotional resilience and mental clarity. Her gentle, individualized treatments are rooted in the belief that healing the nervous system is essential to restoring the body’s natural equilibrium.

 

Clients describe their sessions with Laura as grounding, spacious, and deeply calming—especially those navigating high stress, trauma, or chronic emotional fatigue. Through compassionate listening and mindful care, Laura helps you return to yourself, creating space to breathe, reset, and heal from within.
