She is a graduate from SUNY New Paltz with a double Bachelor's Degree in Art Education and Fine Arts. She began her Feng Shui training in 1997. During her early years and throughout college, Laura simultaneously studied with some of the finest Masters in Feng Shui and Shamanism while obtaining her foundational Feng Shui teachings under the guidance of her mother and mentor, Certified Feng Shui Master, Carole Provenzale. Laura received her Feng Shui Certification in 2000. Her mother Carole, was one of the first accredited Feng Shui consultants in America, certified and blessed by his High Holiness Grandmaster Professor Lin Yun, through The Metropolitan Institute of Interior Design in 1997.
This mother-daughter team established Feng Shui Manhattan in 1997 (formerly known as "Feng Shui Long Island"). In 2010, Laura was appointed President and CEO after her mother's passing.
Coming full circle, Laura taught at the Metropolitan Institute of Design in NY for a few years. Not too long after, she established her own educational center, The Feng Shui Manhattan School. Through this platform, Laura teaches monthly workshops (in-person and virtually) locally and throughout the country, monthly empowerment groups, monthly reiki healing circles and drum circles, and yearly Feng Shui Certification Classes. She contributes weekly blog posts to her site and has been featured in Oprah Magazine, BBC Radio, The New York Times, PBS, Bravo TV's "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” At Home Podcast with Linda and Drew Scott, HGTV Forever Home - Property Brothers: Season 5 - Go With The Flow, The 98.3 K-JOY Morning Show, CBC Television Documentary called "Superstitious Minds," and News China Television.
Laura advises and helps thousands on issues of personal, professional, and spiritual transformation. Her unique approach to Feng Shui has been credited with reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, and has helped improve focus, sleep, and the betterment of a person’s overall well-being. Laura’s services are also requested during chemotherapy and fertility treatments for complimentary healing. She is currently conducting research for her upcoming book that focuses on bridging the gap between the ancient wisdom of Feng Shui and the psychology, neurological, and physiological health benefits it provides. The intention for these collaborative studies is to establish the practice of Feng Shui as a credible form of preventive and general health care.
Laura provides Feng Shui Healing consultations for residential, commercial, retail, institutional, industrial, healthcare facilities and fortune 500 companies. Her Feng Shui consulting firm spans across the United States from New York - California and international locations such as in India, Dubai, and Kuwait. Every year, Laura makes it a personal goal to refine her approach to Feng Shui and study at least three new complementary healing modalities that are fused into her overall practice.
When Laura is not Feng Shui-ing or teaching, you’ll find her circulating within the artist community, exhibiting her award-winning drawings and paintings throughout New York and California galleries. Music is another passion of Laura’s, which has evolved to her playing percussions for various bands including The Dee Harris Jazz-blue Project, Raga 2, drop-in sessions with Jack Licitra's band, The Waterfall, “Island Samba” of Long Island, NY, and jamming with Fantuzzi!
Laura has teamed up with Todd Rodgers ( a Music for People trained facilitator) and together they facilitate monthly drum circles throughout New York City and Brooklyn. For indoor drum circles and musical improv jam sessions, you’ll find them hosting at the Village Zendo in Tribeca or at Anima Mundi Apothecary in Brooklyn, NY. For outdoor gatherings (when the weather allows) they can be spotted near Cherry Hill in Central Park and by Washington Square Park. All are welcome and instruments are provided!
Laura facilitates Music for People® inspired improvisational jam sessions through the Town Of Hempstead’s Recreational Programing for adults during each semester of teaching. Drum Circles are also provided by Laura through the Nassau and Suffolk L.I. County library system for both teens and adults.
Laura facilitates weekly drum circles for members of the Hope & Healing program at The Parker Jewish Institute - working with dementia and Alzheimer populations, as well as with their caretakers. The Bristal in Lynbrook, NY has also hired Laura to host monthly drum circles for the memory care unit and assisted living senior population.
