Laura Thomas and a Journey into the Mind Body Connection

Laura's curiosity in the connection between the mind and body began early. She intended to study English Literature and become a teacher — but found herself drawn, again and again, to the deeper questions. Why do we think the way we think? Why do we feel the way we feel? And most importantly — how do we change?

She switched her major to Philosophy and Psychology, and began to understand something fundamental: every perception we hold comes from a belief system formed in childhood. Each belief triggers an emotion. Each emotion creates a feeling in the body. And those feelings quietly direct the course of our lives — until we learn to work with them differently.

Finding this understanding didn't just give Laura knowledge. It gave her a path forward.

In 1997, a colleague introduced Laura to yoga — and through it, she discovered meditation, breathwork, and movement. These practices gave her something she hadn't expected: the ability to feel calm. To find stillness. To quiet a busy, anxious mind and begin moving forward from the inside out.

Laura Thomas and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

Shortly after becoming a mother, Laura discovered Emotional Freedom Techniques — and felt something shift almost immediately.

She began by working on her own chronic back pain. The pain disappeared. What replaced it was an inner calm she had almost forgotten was possible. She understood then that she had found something real — something that worked at a level most approaches never reach.

Laura studied deeply, practised consistently, and in 2014 became an Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner with EFT International. She had found her first true path to helping others feel free.

Laura Thomas and Hypnosis

Hypnosis had always fascinated Laura — not because of what she saw on stage, but because of what she sensed was possible beneath the surface. She knew intuitively that the subconscious mind held the key to the changes people struggled so hard to make consciously.

In 2017, Laura travelled to Bowmanville, Ontario to study 5-PATH® Advanced Hypnosis — and found everything she had been looking for. A systematic, evidence-based approach that goes beyond suggestion to find and release the root cause of the problem. A process that allows clients to finally feel free from patterns they had carried for years — sometimes decades.

Since then, Laura has helped clients find relief from anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, smoking, weight issues, compulsive habits, phobias, public speaking fears, grief, and so much more.

Hypnosis and EFT, when applied with skill and compassion, are two of the most powerful forces available for lasting human change. Laura has seen this — firsthand — in session after session, client after client.

And she would love to show you what becomes possible for you.

"I believe that each one of us has the potential to do great things. Almost always, the greatest barrier to that success is ourselves. Limiting beliefs and fears stop us from moving forward. Seeing — firsthand — what is possible when those limits are removed: that we do not have to accept less. This is exactly why I love what I do."

Laura Thomas and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

Shortly after becoming a mother, Laura Thomas discovered Emotional Freedom Techniques — and felt something shift almost immediately. The practice of gently stimulating acupressure points while focusing on healing an array of issues — past traumas, physical pain, phobias, anxiety, and anger — fascinated her deeply. She found the connection to acupuncture and other energy healing techniques dating back over 5,000 years both profound and exciting. It moved her that the wisdom of these ancient practices was finally becoming available to modern society.

Laura began by working on her own chronic back pain — and was astounded at what she found. The pain literally disappeared. What followed was an inner calmness she had almost forgotten was possible. She felt free in a way she hadn't experienced in years. She began a deeper study of the technique, addressing issues in herself, her family, and her friends with great success. Some effects were temporary, but some were permanent and life changing. She understood that with further practice and skill, even the most complicated issues could be fully and finally resolved.

In 2014, Laura attended training in Guelph and became an Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner with EFT International — finding her first true path to helping others feel free.

Laura Thomas and Hypnosis

Hypnosis had always fascinated Laura. Like many people, she felt there was something powerful in it — a way of reaching deep inside the subconscious mind to finally address the struggles that conscious effort alone could never fully resolve.

In 2017, Laura travelled to Bowmanville, Ontario to study 5-PATH® Advanced Hypnosis — and found everything she had been looking for. She returned to Ottawa and founded her own professional practice, focused entirely on helping clients find lasting freedom from the patterns holding them back.

Since then, using 5-PATH® Hypnosis and EFT, Laura has helped clients find complete relief from a wide range of issues — weight loss, smoking cessation, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, compulsive gambling, depression, public speaking fears, phobias, and so much more.

Hypnosis and EFT, when applied with skill and genuine compassion, are two of the most powerful forces available for lasting human change. Laura has seen this firsthand — in session after session, client after client — and she would love to show you what becomes possible for you.
