reflections from those I’ve supported
case study 1: finding freedom through somatic therapy
A client arrived feeling frustrated with traditional talk therapy, sharing that endless discussion never led to real change. In our somatic session, we shifted the focus from “why is this happening?” to “what is your body trying to tell you?” By gently exploring physical sensations and emotional patterns, the client gained practical tools to regulate their nervous system and release what they had been holding. They left the session feeling lighter, clearer, and more empowered—finally experiencing a sense of emotional freedom rather than circling the same stories.
case study 2: deep restoration through gentle, hands off reiki
An experienced energy worker came in seeking a grounded, safe space to receive their own healing. During a predominantly hands-off Reiki session, they were able to fully relax—something they said doesn’t happen easily for them. They noticed subtle yet powerful energetic shifts that brought them back into balance. The session left them feeling restored, deeply grounded, and fully supported. It reinforced that healing doesn't always require intensity; sometimes it’s the gentlest approaches that create the biggest realignment.
Case Study 3: Creating Space for Emotional Release
A client stepped into their first session, hoping for a moment of calm amid a busy, overwhelming season. Through a slow, supportive approach, they felt safe enough for their nervous system to settle and for their emotions to finally surface. During our integration conversation, they experienced a meaningful release and left feeling lighter, more connected, and genuinely cared for. Sometimes the most healing moments happen when the body is permitted to soften.
Meet The Heart Behind Healing With Love
Healing With Love was founded by Laura Agresta, a Registered Nurse Psychotherapist with over 13 years of nursing and mental health experience. Laura’s work is grounded in the understanding that emotional pain often shows up in the body—through tension, exhaustion, or a feeling of being “on edge”—and that true healing includes both mind and body.
Laura balances evidence-based care with soulful healing, creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and human. Her voice is gentle yet confident, using inclusive, trauma-informed language and avoiding unnecessary jargon. She bridges science and spirituality, making somatic and energetic healing concepts approachable and relatable.
