I have seen her probably 25 times now and I'm never disappointed. Now, I'm not particularly ill; I'm part of the "worried well" or "walking wounded", so I don't know what her capabilities are in managing a severely mentally ill individual, or dealing with a couple, or working with a family. But as far as getting together weekly to talk through thoughts and feelings and such, she's 5-star. She is a great listener and offers useful and insightful feedback.

As a Clinical Social Worker seeking services, I found the best fit for both therapy and life coaching. Laura is able to identify with clients on many different levels and quickly puts you at ease. She incorporates your values and beliefs into her treatment planning and tailors your goals to fit your needs. Laura is nonjudgmental. She truly cares about people and provides excellent guidance and support. I have referred several people to her who have experienced positive change and growth. I was devastated that she moved to Charleston. Richmond has truly lost a clinical gem. If you are ready to make some real changes, I highly recommend Laura.

She really let you transport yourself in class, and the hour I would be in there was so peaceful and full of calming energy. Bonus for me was she played the best music. Not always the normal yoga music, but she played beautiful songs that made class more appealing as well. Will miss being able to take her classes! Charleston, you are so lucky!

Updating my original 1-star review because after several attempts they did grant my refund request…read more Thriveworks has a monthly membership model where you pay a monthly fee on top of the normal counseling fee for therapy. The monthly fee is supposed to be for their "convenient" scheduling options. The therapist I saw was very caring. I would have returned, but my schedule got hectic due to moving, and I discovered that Thrivework's services don't really live up to what is promised for that fee. I decided to cancel, but they charged me for the next month a day before I expected it. It was a major pain to get a refund for that charge, and I only got it because I am super annoying. Now that my move it complete, I will be looking for a new therapist outside of the Thriveworks system. --- They rip off people with additional monthly charges for "administrative services" which then aren't delivered. Continued to charge even though I wasn't using their service any longer and refused a refund. Sad that they are scamming people who just want mental health support!

There's just something about Masie. The way she talks to students, the way she grows new teachers,…read morethe way she sets up the space. It's not like any other yoga studio. The space: Absent are the mirrors at other studios that tempt you to look at your body and compare it to others; in their place is the warm wood of the beautiful old space, and the calming tree and drishti painted on the walls. Masie and her staff are the ones to correct your alignment with a word or gentle touch. That way you stay focused on the practice and don't get ripped away by the outside world. The space also has a bathroom and changing room, and they offer massage in house. It feels like coming to someone's home and having a communal experience with the instructor and the other students. The classes: All levels and some more challenging classes. Masie is always learning new elements and new practices. Her curiosity is infectious, but somehow she never makes you feel foolish or intimidated because you don't know something. Her instructors are obviously chosen for what new ideas they bring as well, or a capacity to receive new ideas. You can pick up some Tai chi and Yoga Nidra among many other things in the yoga and other classes. One of my favorite was a class called moon flow where she put together a variety of lunar poses and made certain "Yin" tweaks to postures (like looking down instead of up, which is yang). It was such a little change that made the practice seem new and fresh and slightly spiritual. The instructors: Masie is obviously the center of this universe. Her radiance draws you in and sustains you throughout classes. She is thoughtful without being stoic, loving without being insipid, and firm without being judgmental. The teachers that work for her obviously all feel it too, and everyone she hires seems to pick up at least part of what makes her such a great teacher. She completely changed my outlook on yoga because of her wholistic approach. The studio somehow manages to be genuinely inspiring instead of a collection of fitness models spouting a string of platitudes like so many other places. Some of her instructors are very experienced, and some are homegrown by Masie. All of them share this mindset of a whole mind-body-spirit practice that is never too much of any one good thing. I used to come here after work, and I too have arrived too late for class. I was disappointed but it's best for everyone - I needed those few minutes before beginning to unwind and get ready. There were times I've been so exhausted from the day that the practice would take me straight from the helter skelter into relaxed bliss. Don't skip coming to class. Leave early. Talk to the other students and the instructor. Be open and friendly before class. Learn about yoga and yourself. Did I mention there was amazing relaxing retreats to beautiful places like Hawaii and Arizona and North Carolina?
