Hi, I’m Laura Weiss – Founder of Laurel Pathways

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I created Laurel Pathways as a space for people to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their own inner resilience.

The name Laurel Pathways carries a lot of meaning for me. It’s inspired by the laurel plant, evergreen, strong, and rooted in symbolism that reflects endurance, victory, and renewal. Interestingly, “Laura” actually comes from “laurel,” and I’ve always been drawn to the idea that, like the laurel, we humans are capable of enduring seasons of challenge and still emerging with grace and growth.

To me, resilience isn’t just about pushing through, it’s also about knowing when to rest. That’s what I aim to offer through my sound baths and guided meditations: a gentle space to rest, restore, and reset.

Laurel Pathways is also a little nod to neural pathways, I love the way that sounds (literally and figuratively). Sound has a unique ability to help us soften old patterns and create new, more supportive ones. It’s all connected—our breath, our nervous system, our capacity to heal.

And one more little personal detail: mountain laurel is the state flower of my home state, Pennsylvania, so this path is also rooted in where I come from.

Whether you're joining me for your very first sound bath or returning to deepen your practice, my hope is that you leave feeling more grounded, more open, and more yourself.

May all the paths you walk in life be lined with the wisdom of laurel.✨🌿
