Laura Stoicescu
While working as a management consultant and certified Project Manager Professional in a corporate environment, Laura suffered an unexpected health issue, leaving to a major stroke. From the frightening realization that she cannot feel her right side, to gradually regaining control of her leg and arm, the journey of hope continues to this day. She discovered GYROKINESIS® through a series of individual sessions, five years into her stroke recovery therapy. Significant improvements gained within a few weeks inspired her to consider becoming a trainer. Laura’s goal is to raise awareness about the Gyrokinesis Method benefits, to encourage stroke survivors to try this method, and to encourage trainers to work with people recovering from an injury or dealing with a disability. It takes patience, dedication, and commitment. It also takes courage to trust that you can recover - to hope that you can live your life again, with grace and ease… one step at a time, one day at a time.
