About this Retreat
Your Guides
My name is Laura, and I’m a Psychospiritual Practitioner based in South Florida and the founder of Divine Emergence, LLC. My work is shaped by years of personal healing, formal training, and hands-on facilitation.
My path emerged from overcoming my own challenges—growing up in a broken home, losing a parent to cancer, and navigating addiction, codependency, depression, anxiety, narcissistic abuse, and an autoimmune disorder. When traditional methods offered only limited relief, I turned to holistic modalities.
My early psychedelic experiences during the COVID era eventually led me to breathwork, where I noticed the same profound inner healing processes taking place. This inspired deeper study, including specialized work with Bufo alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) in ethical, safety-focused settings and becoming a full time coach so I can assist others on their journeys.
Breathwork ultimately became my primary path, guiding me to leave my psychology program and career in the mental-health field to pursue holistic wellness full time.
Today, I support individuals in healing trauma, anxiety, addiction, and emotional pain patterns through breathwork, sound healing, psychedelic-assisted support, private coaching, and immersive retreats—always grounded in deep integration and embodied transformation.
