What do these modalities help with?
What is a group mediumship session?
Laurie Oakes is a gifted medium who channels messages from the Divine that assist you on your life path. During a group channeling session, Laurie works around the room and channels a message for each person. Often these messages provide guidance, clarity and direction on different areas in your life and guidance is often provided on ways to work through and approach different challenges. You can also ask Laurie for guidance on a certain area of life.
Contrast therapy, which involves alternating between hot and cold treatments, helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery from physical exertion. It enhances the body’s resilience by stimulating the nervous system and supporting overall vitality. Quantum Biology is essentially about looking deeper into the elements that make up our bodies—protons, electrons and the energetic field—and how they interact with light, water, and magnetism.

Mediumship is the ability to connect with a higher power. We are all souls experiencing life in a physical body, here for the purpose of soul growth. This growth comes from learning lessons, which often present themselves as challenges or obstacles we need to overcome. Working with a medium can provide clarity about what you are experiencing in life and why. Laurie channels guidance to offer insight and direction, helping you determine the next steps to take to align with your highest path.
Dress comfortably, bring your yoga mat, a blanket or eye mask to help enter a deeper state of comfort and relaxation, and a journal to reflect and take notes on any messages provided through mediumship session.
And as always, bring an open mind, heart, and soul!
We encourage participants to dress comfortable (ie. yoga attire). Bring a sweater in case you cool down during meditation, savasana, etc.
No prior experience is necessary. Spiritual worshops often cater to individuals with varying levels of experience. They are designed to be inclusive and welcoming to both beginners and those more experienced in meditation and spiritual concepts. The facilitators will usually provide guidance suitable for all attendees.
Spirituality is non-synonymous with religion. Laurie aims to help each participant foster their own individual relationship with spirituality, source, and the Divine. Her beliefs are what she resonates with, but encourages each individual to take what feels best to them.
