Today we’d like to introduce you to Laura Kazimer
Hi Laura, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Hello! I’m Laura, the owner of Divine Emergence. As a dedicated psychospiritual guide, I have a deep passion for integrating psychology, spirituality, physiology, and earth medicines into my transformational practices. My journey in this field is inspired by my background in psychology and mental health, complemented by spiritual teachings, bioenergetics, and entheogenic-assisted therapies.
I understand how childhood experiences and family dynamics shape our present lives, often leading us to be hard on ourselves or to feel unworthy, unloved, unheard, or unseen. Can you relate? When we learn to connect with our breath and bodies, we start to gain insight into our past and how it affects our present.
My healing approach combines psychological insights with various practices to ensure lasting transformation and a more abundant, fulfilling lifestyle. At the heart of my practice is breathwork—an innate healing tool that allows us to access and release stored emotions and trauma, facilitating emotional and physical healing. Breathwork has been shown to help with autoimmune disorders, addictions, fertility issues, depression, anxiety, and much more.
I initially turned to breathwork in search of plant medicine, as I felt trapped by the pharmaceutical industry. Discovering breathwork before exploring psychedelic-assisted therapy changed my life—I was able to stop taking antidepressants and mood stabilizers, heal my hyperthyroidism, and align with a more balanced existence. These transformative experiences are what influenced me to want to share the power of breathwork with others. Many clients find breathwork more effective than traditional talk therapy, returning when they need emotional release or clarity in their lives.
In addition to breathwork, I offer entheogenic therapy for those looking to explore deeper realms of healing. While this approach isn’t for everyone, when done correctly with a trained facilitator, it can lead to significant shifts in mind, body, and spirit and create major shifts in perception of one’s reality. I also offer immense integration support for these experiences.
I’m here to guide you on a journey that harmonizes the psychological and spiritual aspects of your being. Together, we’ll explore and unravel the layers of your past, helping you unlock a more authentic, fulfilling, and liberated life in the present!
My core values are integrity, safety, and trust.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
This journey has certainly not been easy; it has been long, hard, and full of challenges. Years ago, I found myself trapped in drug addiction and burdened by unresolved trauma. I stayed in relationships that weren’t serving me, and my health suffered greatly because I was unaware of the impact that certain situations had on my life.
When I discovered breathwork, everything began to shift. I became more attuned to my body, my wants, my needs, and my desires. Through this practice, I shed layers of trauma that helped me break free from addiction and confront my past head-on. I left unhealthy, toxic relationships and my unsatisfying job, ultimately creating a life where I now work for myself. I just had to get out of my own way! Which is what I now help others do.
It required total trust in the universe, but with each breath, I realized I had everything I needed to thrive.
We’ve been impressed with Divine Emergence, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Divine Emergence is a brand I created to reflect my journey of emerging from darkness into light, and my mission is to help others do the same.
I specialize in breathwork, focusing on three key pillars: relaxing, activating, and trauma release breathwork. When I introduce myself as a Breathwork Specialist, people often ask what that entails. Simply put, I offer tailored breath techniques for a variety of life situations. Whether you’re feeling stressed, anxious, fatigued, or dealing with physical issues like inflammation, weight challenges, addictions, or sleep disturbances, I provide personalized breathwork to support your health and wellness. For emotional and trauma release, I utilize powerful methods like Divine Emergence Breathwork and Sonic Neural Breathwork.
In addition to breathwork, I am also a psychedelic-assisted therapist. Using substances like psilocybin (mushrooms) and DMT, I help facilitate shifts in insight. While breathwork is often all we need, sometimes a deeper experience is required to unlock the breakthroughs we seek. I’m honored to guide others on their journeys in this way.
What sets me apart is my belief in honoring all aspects of ourselves, including the shadow self. I understand that every version of our being serves a purpose on this earth. Through breathwork and various self-help techniques—like mindfulness, meditation, embodiment, sound, and integration—I provide the support my clients need. With a strong foundation in multiple modalities, I prioritize balancing the mind, body, and spirit, and I’m known as a pillar in the community for bringing people together.
I take pride in my commitment to helping others and in the growth I’ve experienced in such a short time. I know this is just the beginning of my health and wellness career!
In addition to local workshops and events, I offer online sessions and host retreats. My next retreat, the Divine Ether Retreat, will take place from November 14th-18th, 2024, in the beautiful mountains of Ellijay, Georgia. This co-ed retreat focuses on breathwork and deep nature connection, featuring a private photographer and a personal Ayurvedic chef, all within a stunning cabin that includes a hot tub and fire pit overlooking the mountains. This retreat is designed to heal the divine feminine and masculine in a truly special way!
If you can’t make it to this one, please visit my website at divineemergence.org to stay updated on all upcoming events and retreats!
Next year I will be hosting a Women’s retreat in Tulum!
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
The breath has something to offer everyone! It’s a simple yet powerful tool that we all carry within. With the right techniques, we can completely regulate our nervous systems, calm our minds, and even boost our energy levels. Breathwork can lead to impactful and profound shifts in our consciousness, helping us connect more deeply with ourselves and the world around us.
Consider this: no one ever teaches us how to breathe properly! We take this essential function for granted, often unaware of its incredible potential. Once we learn how to breathe effectively, everything shifts. Our emotional states, mental clarity, and physical well-being can all improve dramatically.
Breathwork is not just about taking a few deep breaths; it’s a holistic practice that invites you to explore your inner landscape and release what no longer serves you. Whether you’re looking to alleviate stress, enhance creativity, or process difficult emotions, the breath can guide you on that journey.
I invite you to reach out to me for a free breath consultation. Together, we can explore how to utilize the power of your breath to create meaningful change in your life. Please visit me at www.divineemergence.org to schedule you free consultation today!
