Laura is a native of South Florida who has spent over a decade working in the healthcare industry. She loves the outdoors and is equally at home on the beach or in the mountains. She enjoys a variety of activities, including biking, photography, yoga and hiking. Spirituality is very important to Laura and much of her writing centers around working through grief and loss. Laura also writes on a variety of other topics, in which she tries to send a positive message, adding a touch of humor when appropriate. Laura doesn't shy away from writing on darker topics as she believes it's important to embrace the shadow self. If you had to ask her what her favorite drink was, she'd most definitely say coffee. You also may have seen her cosplaying Catwoman. Laura is a lover of all animals, and owns several cats and dogs.
