most satisfying way.She hopes to share and work with others so

training at Ohashiatsu® Maryland in 2007. Laurie has a
graduate degree in chemistry and works as a research chemist
in the photoconductor and solar energy industries. She is a

therapeutic body work must have meaning, intent and

beauty of the movement is combined with Five Element and
Meridian theories. For Laurie, Ohashiatsu® is all about
sharing and as a Certified Ohashiatsu® Consultant, she enjoys
introducing others to the healing and calming benefits of
Ohashiatsu®. |
