Who we are
Laurie Rosenberg
Throughout her adult life Laurie Rosenberg has been using meditation, yoga, and Reiki energy healing as a means to quiet and de-stress her mind, spirit, and body. She became a fully certified Reiki Master and, more recently, pursued a Vipassana Buddhist meditation practice and completed a two-year intensive teacher certification program in Mindfulness Meditation with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. Laurie teaches Introductory and thematic based Mindfulness Meditation courses and leads a weekly virtual community Sanghas with guided Mindfulness Meditation topics and techniques as well as teaching Mindfulness Meditation one-on-one.
Laurie also holds her master’s and doctorate in Cell and Molecular Biology and developed an extensive professional career in human clinical medicinal discoveries. Laurie’s motivation and passion is that she believes that the intersection of science and mindfulness meditation practice can offer a mountain of integrative benefits that are easy to learn, practical and affirming for well-being.
