"Lara has been instrumental in revealing many hidden truths that I simply could not see. I am so grateful for her wisdom and gentle guidance and I look forward to carrying the gifts I have received from her throughout the remainder of my life."

ABOUT LARA

As an integrative, relational, and somatically focused practitioner, I have spent over two decades walking alongside individuals, couples, families, and groups on their paths to healing and transformation. I specialize in helping clients who feel trapped in old patterns, working with the body, emotions, and the therapeutic relationship to resolve trauma and relational blocks at their root. Guided by a belief in each person’s innate capacity for healing, it is my privilege to help you cultivate a life of greater ease, choice, and authentic connection.
I am also the founder of Wild Peace Sanctuary, a land-based therapeutic farm and sanctuary on the Central Oregon Coast, forever home to a blended herd of rescued and rehomed wild horses, wild burros (donkeys), and goats. Here, we work collaboratively to co-create a living ecosystem of healing through symbiotic, reciprocal relationships between humans, animals, and the land — fostering a deeply regenerative environment where we can address the root causes of our challenges and begin to heal each other through mutual care.
“Those who undertake the full journey into their grief
come back carrying medicine for the world.”
