My story
Hi, I'm Laura
Welcome to Wild Garden Wellness — I'm so grateful you're here.
I'm Laura Baker, and it's an honor to walk alongside people as they reconnect with themselves. As a trauma-informed sound therapist, therapeutic breathwork facilitator, Reiki practitioner, and yoga teacher, I've created Wild Garden Wellness as a place to slow down, soften the noise of the world, and remember who you truly are.
Wild Garden Wellness exists to help you remember yourself beneath the conditioning, reconnect with your body's innate wisdom, and build a life rooted in your own truth — not the expectations of others.
Whether you're navigating a life transition, feeling overwhelmed by the pace of the world, healing from past experiences, or simply longing to reconnect with yourself, you are welcome here.

How we can practice together

Reiki
Gentle energy work to clear, balance, and restore — on the table or at a distance.
My journey
How I found this work
My own journey into this work began during one of the busiest seasons of my life. While juggling three jobs, I discovered yoga as a way to quiet my mind and reconnect with myself. What started as a practice to manage stress gradually became something much deeper — a relationship with myself that no amount of productivity could replace. In 2019, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training through Flow Yoga Center in Washington, D.C., and began teaching both in studios and virtually to collegiate athletes.
Yoga became the doorway to an even deeper exploration of holistic healing. As a lifelong lover of music, I discovered sound medicine through Jhené Aiko's Chilomboalbum, where the resonance of crystal singing bowls stopped me in my tracks. There was something about their sound that couldn't be explained — it had to be experienced. That curiosity led me to train with Jeralyn Glass in Los Angeles, where I witnessed firsthand the profound ways vibration can support the nervous system and help the body release what words often cannot.
As my path unfolded, I expanded my training to include therapeutic breathwork, Reiki, and trauma-informed somatic practices. While each modality offers something unique, they all continue to affirm the same truth: the body holds an incredible intelligence. When we learn to listen instead of force, soften instead of strive, and feel instead of simply think, we begin to remember who we are beneath the noise.
Today, I blend ancient healing practices — including sound medicine, therapeutic breathwork, Reiki, and embodied healing — to create experiences that gently regulate the nervous system, restore connection to your body, and support a life that feels deeply resonant. My work isn't about fixing you or giving you something you don't already possess. It's about creating the conditions for you to remember who you are, trust your own inner wisdom, and cultivate a life rooted in authenticity, presence, and alignment.
Because healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering the version of yourself that has been there all along.
The name
Why a wild garden?
One evening, watching a gardening show with my Grandma — one of my earth angels, with an ardent passion for gardening — we delved into garden styles. Victorian gardens were meticulously manicured, sculpted into perfection. Over time, that rigid structure gave way to the wild garden: the beauty of letting nature unfold organically, without constraint or shaping.
The idea resonated deeply. In a world inundated with directives about who we should be, Wild Garden Wellness offers a respite — a space to embrace your innate essence, to nurture your own wild garden and watch it bloom.
