Shamanic Healer • Quantum Coherence Coach • Reiki Master/Teacher 

Tarot Guide • Meditation Instructor • U.S. Navy Veteran

I’m Dr. Laura Garland — a shamanic healer, intuitive guide, and lifelong bridge-walker between science and spirit.

My work is devoted to helping people remember who they are beneath the noise, the patterns, and the conditioning of the world — and to reclaim a sense of clarity, vitality, and inner authority that feels both grounded and expansive.

I don’t believe in fixing people.   I believe in awakening what’s already there.

How I Came to This Work

From a young age, I experienced realities that didn’t fit neatly into conventional explanations. Rather than rejecting those experiences, I became deeply curious — about consciousness, energy, matter, and the unseen forces shaping our lives.

That curiosity took me down two parallel paths.  For a long time, I walked them side by side.

One path was rigorous and scientific.
The other was ancient, intuitive, and embodied.

Over time, I realized they were never separate.

The Spiritual Lineage I Walk

My spiritual training has been experiential and relational, shaped by practice rather than dogma, and spans decades and many traditions, including:

• Core Shamanism and Earth-based ceremonial work

• Celtic and Indigenous wisdom traditions

• Lakota teachings

• Wicca and ritual practice

• Tai Chi, Chi Gung, and embodied energy cultivation

• Uechi Ryu and disciplined movement practice

For more than 30 years, Tarot has been a living practice for me — not as fortune-telling, but as a mirror of consciousness and a tool for insight, clarity, and choice.

For over 18 years, I’ve worked as a Reiki Master/Teacher, offering both healing sessions and training others in this gentle yet profound modality.

Today, the heart of my work lives in Shamanic Healing and Quantum Coherence Coaching — spaces where energy, awareness, embodiment, and intention come together to create real, lived change.

Meditation: The Ground Beneath Everything

If there is one practice that anchors everything I do, it is meditation.

I engage in extended daily meditation as a way of listening — to Source, to the subtle body, and to the deeper currents of consciousness that guide our lives.

I also teach regular meditation classes, because I’ve seen again and again that:

Meditation isn’t just about calming the mind.
It’s about reclaiming your capacity to create, perceive, and choose from a deeper place.

Meditation is where coherence is restored.
It’s where intuition sharpens.
It’s where the nervous system remembers safety — and possibility.

The Scientist in Me (Yes, She’s Still Here)

My academic background is deeply scientific:

• Ph.D. in Earth & Planetary Sciences (Washington University in St. Louis)
  – My doctoral research focused on hydrothermal systems on Mars, contributing to foundational work in astrobiology and the study of life beyond Earth.

• B.S. in Engineering Physics (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, completed before age 21)

• M.A. in Teaching (Washington University), with licensure in physics, mathematics, and general science

I also served as a U.S. Navy Officer, where I taught nuclear physics and advanced mathematics, trained personnel, served in leadership roles, and earned recognition as a Master Training Specialist. During that time, I also worked as a lay chaplain, supporting individuals walking alternative spiritual paths.

Science taught me rigor.
Spirit taught me truth.

I no longer see a divide between them.

What I Believe

I believe healing is not merely the absence of pain.
It is the return of coherence.

It is the moment when:

• what no longer serves can be released

• inner wisdom becomes audible again

• identity softens enough for truth to lead

Whether we work together through Shamanic Healing, Reiki, Tarot, Meditation, or Coaching, my intention is the same:

• to help you reconnect with your inner knowing

• to restore clarity and self-trust

• to support a life that feels alive, aligned, and authentically yours

✨ If you’re here, something within you already knows it’s time.

I’d be honored to walk part of the path with you.
