Laura Bautista is a holistic health practitioner who healed herself naturally from multiple sclerosis.

“If you’re ever feeling lost about where you’re going or what needs to happen next, instead of forcing your brain to come up with an answer, see if you can connect to one of the ways in which you feel like your highest self.”
