Laura is the founder of Breathe Colorado, a holistic private practice innovating a multidisciplinary approach to enhancing stress resiliency. With 20 years of clinical experience in the field of dentistry, Laura is uniquely positioned to merge principles in neuro-craniofacial sleep medicine and human performance optimization. Her recent training in respiratory psychophysiology, fascia neurobiology, and TACFIT® (a strategically-precise fitness system designed to provide fast recovery from exercise intensity.) afford her the skills to recognize facial features that dramatically impact physiological readiness and real-time recovery.

 

Breathe Colorado acknowledges that sleep disordered breathing may play a formative role in conditioning and perpetuating maladaptive breathing behaviors. Although acutely adaptive, these learned dysfunctional habits ultimately exacerbate acid-base physiological instability, known as respiratory alkalosis. Laura introduces movement practices and breathing education via capnometric metabolic analysis and HRV biofeedback instrumentation as a toolset for physically and cognitively restructuring breathing behavior.
