Laurie James SEP/PCC

Laurie James is a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Life Coach, as well as a mother, divorcée, recovering caregiver, author, and podcaster. Her podcast, Confessions of a Freebird, was born after her youngest of four daughters left the nest and continues the journey she began in her memoir, Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go. In her book, Laurie shares her personal passage from loneliness to belonging during one of the most challenging seasons of her life. Sandwiched between raising four teenage daughters, caring for her mother after a heart attack, and navigating the unraveling of her marriage, she weaves through holding on and letting go of many things as she learns what belonging means to her. Today, Laurie helps others transform their own stories. She blends her somatic training and coaching expertise to guide clients in building a healthier relationship with their bodies and nervous systems. By learning to regulate and embody themselves more fully, Laurie’s clients discover the freedom to create lives filled with more ease, joy, and authentic connection. If you enjoy her meditations and practices, please consider leaving a review and sharing them with others—you never know who might need them the most.
