Hey Babe! I'm Laura Keenan, Nervous System Coach for Chronic Pain

From 20 Years of Agony to Total Freedom

Read my story ↓

I hated waking up every single morning.

For over 20 years, I was trapped:

Endometriosis.
Pelvic floor dysfunction.
Fibromyalgia.
Neuropathy.
Chronic neck and back pain.
IBS.
Food sensitivities.
Anxiety.
Vulvodynia.

And a rotating cast of symptoms that doctors couldn't explain, so they just kept telling me to try to reduce my stress.

I tried everything:

Elimination diets.
Supplements.
Medications.
Surgeries.
Talk therapy.
Chiropractors.
Acupuncturists.
Self-help books.

I got some relief temporarily, but it never lasted long.

I hated my body for betraying me. My internal monologue was so mean: Get your shit together. Stop being a victim.

Then I discovered nervous system work, and my life changed.

I learned that pain is neuroplastic and your brain and body are always in a two-way conversation. What your brain predicts and pays attention to changes what your body feels, and what your body senses changes what your brain believes.

I'd been chasing symptoms when I needed to address the root cause: a nervous system stuck in survival mode. My body wasn't broken. It was trying to protect me. The solution wasn't another protocol. It was safety.

Today, I help women heal chronic pain and reclaim pleasure, freedom, and radiant health.

Two decades of searching made one thing clear: your healing shouldn’t take that long. And if I can help you get answers in months instead of decades, then I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

Every doctor I went to thought they were helping by sending me home with another medication that always ended up failing.

Why Working With Me Is Different

You don’t need more tools. You need space to finally feel.

You can collect nervous system practices all day long. Box breathing, tapping (EFT), guided meditations, vagus nerve hacks, morning routines. It’s all out there. But when your system is overwhelmed, more information can start to feel like more pressure.

My work isn't about handing you another checklist. It’s about helping you reconnect with your body in a way that feels safe so you can notice sensations, emotions, and signals you’ve been bracing against without trying to fix them, rush them, or shut them down.

Here's what it's like to work with me:

Honest, but gentle.

I’m not here to sugarcoat things or tell you what you want to hear. I’ll tell you the truth about what healing can really look like (and it isn’t always pretty or linear). But I’ll hold space for you with warmth, compassion, and zero judgment the whole way through.

Science-backed and soul-led.

We’ll use the neuroscience of pain and trauma as the foundation, then tune in to what your body needs in real time. It’s a blend of evidence-based tools and embodied inner wisdom because both matter for real healing.

Playful, even when it's hard.

Healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. We’ll make room for humor, warmth, and little moments of ease. I’ll help you reconnect with the playful side of you that’s been tucked away under years of pain.

Flexible and intuitive.

There’s no rigid program you have to force yourself into. We’ll work with what’s showing up in your body right now. Some sessions will feel practical and strategic; others will be about softening, processing, and letting go of what you’ve been carrying. We’ll move at a pace your nervous system can handle.

Real talk about the work.

Healing isn’t bypassing, it’s feeling what you’ve been avoiding bit by bit, with support. No heroics. No rushing. Just honest work with a lot of care.

The Human Behind the Coach

So you know I'm not just a walking, talking nervous system textbook, here's the real me:

I'm quite the raver.

Give me an EDM show, a sparkly outfit, and a trance drop, and I will happily dance like my responsibilities don’t exist. Secret dream? Becoming a DJ and making people cry/hug/levitate on the dance floor.

I lift heavy weights.

I lift heavy on purpose. Slow, steady reps are my therapy. It’s where my body lets go of the stuff my brain can’t organize into sentences. Also… nothing grounds you like a deadlift!

Dog mom life:

I have a Corgi named Pancake. She’s equal parts sassy and sweet… basically my personality in a loaf with legs.

Football Sundays are sacred.

I’m a Vikings fan for life, even without a Super Bowl win. Which honestly explains why I teach nervous system resilience… I’ve been practicing for years, LOL.

I’m a “let’s go outside” person.

Give me a path and a playlist (or silence), and suddenly I’m 83% less dramatic about everything.

At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who refused to give up on herself, and now I help other women do the same.

Ready to finally feel free?

You’ve been carrying this pain for a long time. You’ve tried so many things, and it makes sense that you’re tired. What if the next step isn’t another protocol, it's finally understanding what your body has been communicating all along? If you’d like support, I’d love to walk alongside you. Let’s talk.
