LAUREL ODOM, BA, CMT, CAS
Laurel was born and raised in the Northern California town of Auburn, California. In 2013 she graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Nutrition. Having established a steady yoga practice, she had the desire to seek a greater connection between nutrition & the overall physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of being which led her to begin her studies at the California College of Ayurveda (CCA) in Nevada City in the fall of 2013. She has since completed schooling at CCA with a certification as a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, Ayurvedic Massage & Body Therapist (including Marma Point, Dough Basti, Pinda Svedana & Ayurvedic Facial Therapies) & Pancha Karma Specialist as well as furthering her depth of yogic study through various teacher trainings. Laurel is now apart of the teaching faculty at the CCA.
Laurel loves the holistic mindset that Ayurveda embodies as well as the deep connection to nature that this system is rooted in. Her belief is that in getting in touch with the flow of nature & understanding ourselves on a deeper level, we will truly be able to create a more conscious, connected world. Laurel loves hiking in nature, dancing, yoga, cooking, fresh flowers, swimming, the smell of a fall morning, animals, sports & games, time with family & friends & simply enjoying the gift of being alive on planet Earth. She is exceptionally grateful to be a channel for the knowledge of Ayurveda & looks forward to having the opportunity to assist your healing journey.
