With a keen interest in human anatomy and physiology, and a desire to help people feel their best, Dr. Laura always knew she wanted to get into healthcare. Chiropractic quickly became her first choice. After studying biology and kinesiology at university, Dr. Laura completed her doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic West, graduating as valedictorian with Summa Cum Laude honours and a 4.0 GPA. Her love of the mountains brought her back to Vancouver where she has been in clinical practice for several years.
As a chiropractor, Dr. Laura specializes in treating the joints, muscles, and nerves of the body, particularly the spine. Dr. Laura’s treatments focus on correcting alignment and biomechanics to ensure that the body can move with ease. She evaluates the body as a whole, focusing on the spine as the foundation, as well as addressing the muscles and other joints of the body. She uses gentle techniques to align the spine, such as a low-force handheld instrument called Activator. This is a great treatment option for patients that would benefit from chiropractic care but that don’t prefer the “twisting” or “cracking” that is sometimes associated with manual manipulation. During an Activator adjustment, the patient is laying in a neutral position and the gentle adjustment is made using the low-force instrument. For patients that prefer manual manipulation, she offers this type of treatment as well.
She combines her spinal treatments with soft tissue therapies to treat chronic muscle tension and repetitive stress injuries. She uses Graston to help break myofascial adhesions, in order to restore range of motion, correct movement patterns, and decrease pain and tension.
Dr. Laura’s integrated approach allows patients to feel better, faster. Whether you are dealing with a new injury, have experienced chronic discomfort, or just want to have your spine checked, Dr. Laura will help you feel your best. Her goal is to get patients back to the lifestyle and activities that make them happy.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Laura loves to spend her time in the mountains, exploring in hiking boots in the summer and on skis in the winter. She feels lucky that we have such a wonderful playground right at our city’s doorstep. After travelling to 26 different countries (most of which were during a year-long, on-a-dime backpack trip at age 20), Dr. Laura feels that no place is more beautiful than Vancouver. She is happy that she can use her skills and knowledge to help patients feel better so that they can get out and enjoy all of the fun that this great city has to offer.

“Can't recommend enough! Firstly, Dr. Laura is just a really lovely person, and you can tell she has a real passion for healing and human anatomy - taking the time to explain and describe everything she was doing beforehand, just to make sure I was comfortable. I went to see her in the middle of "crisis mode", after being away from my usual treatment for a few months, and with just one session she restored the movement on my stiff neck and released a lot of the pain I was living with. The best part about it to me, is that the session is extremely gentle and comfortable - and the results are AMAZING! Thank you, Dr. Laura!”Read moreShow less
