I am a published author, experienced multi-generational healer & intuitive, speaker, podcaster, seeker, spiritual teacher, Jikiden Reiki® Shihan (teacher), social justice warrior, and a survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault. I help folks who suffer from a history of chronic illness, cancer, trauma, and/or abuse to address root issues, transform pain, bridge science, research and the practical magic so that they can experience sustainable healing and wholeness by rediscovering the body's ability to heal itself and the power that lies within so that they can become their own superhero.

I provide a welcoming inviting safe space to do your what you know how to best.

In this episode of Triggers in Spiritual Medicine, host Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney explores the powerful theme of Remembering the Inner Wise Woman.

Across generations, the intuitive wisdom and leadership of women has often been silenced, persecuted, or erased through systems of control and historical trauma. From the persecution of healers during the European witch hunts, to institutions like the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland, to the suppression of Indigenous spiritual traditions through European colonization of the Americas, the echoes of these events still live in our collective and ancestral memory.

In this deeply reflective episode, Laura invites listeners to explore how these histories have shaped the way many women relate to their intuition, voice, and spiritual authority today.

Through guided questions and storytelling, she encourages listeners to reconnect with the ancient wisdom carried within their bodies, lineage, and lived experiences.

Listeners are invited to explore three ways to reconnect with the Inner Wise Woman:
• Listening to the wisdom of the body
• Reconnecting with ancestral knowledge and lineage
• Creating space for silence, stillness, and deep inner listening
The episode also includes a guided drum meditation designed to help listeners quiet the thinking mind and connect with the deeper voice of the Inner Wise Woman within.

Laura concludes with an invitation for those who feel called to continue this exploration in community.

She will be presenting further on this topic at the Inspired Life! Women’s Weekend of Love, Light & Laughter in Quincy on April 11–12, where participants will have an opportunity to go deeper into the work of reclaiming feminine wisdom, spiritual sovereignty, and ancestral remembering.

This episode is an invitation to reflect on a powerful question:

What if the wisdom you have been searching for has been within you—and within your ancestral line—all along?

THIS Monday, April 6th, I'm holding our Full Moon Vibrational Healing Gathering as a conscious act of anchoring with this lunar energy in a safe, inclusive, and trauma-sensitive space and allow it to support our own continued shedding, recalibration, and renewal.

Folks PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT'S HAPPENING STATESIDE and in LOCAL governments.

While everyone is sooooo focused on Trump, Massachusetts is slipping backwards and quickly ... and rights and protections are being dismantled at home.

This appointment cannot get any more corrupt.

There's a growing crisis in Massachusetts in 2026 Budgets

Governor Healey is NOT for victims of SA/DV. On top of this problematic judicial appointment, she also cut 10% in dv/sa funding during a times of escalating needs.

The Healey Administration also cut over $400mil in community service based funding and instead wants to fund $360mil women's prison (cost $1.3mil per inmate + annual housing cost of $262k) and allotted an additional $420mil in AI research +

In her energy bill is stripping away voter rights in regards to where nuclear power plants can be built and where nuclear waste can be dumped

To add salt to injury, Governor Healey is actively BLOCKING the state audit of the legislature that over 70% of voters approved. This is UNlawful and ILlegal.

This is another reason why I am supporting Andrea James for Governor this November

Andrea is a PEOPLE DRIVEN movement NOT PAC or Billionaire driven. She has a PROVEN track record of lifting folks up from the bottom up NOT top down. You can not get a candidate more for THE PEOPLE than her right now

So if you're disillusioned right now, do NOT give up.
Do NOT quit.
Do NOT hide.

This is a fire horse year of ACTION.
Find out how you can VOLUNTEER or DONATE to help get her elected.

THIS is how Mamdani WON NYC. It was by the people who got off the sofas and organized as our ancestors did before.

With Care,
Laura

I've been fighting so hard against "industries" like this one for decades and the level of complicity by "good people" who turn a blind eye or ignore.

Over the decades, I've been stalked, liabled, harmed, trolled by so called healers, spiritual leaders, and wellness professionals and targeted for demanding safety and accountability and addressing predatory behavior that too many leaders IGNORE for money or for "false" diversity and inclusion.

Please be MORE discerning in which spaces you choose to be a part of.

Popularity does NOT equal safe space
Word salad, fancy graphics, productions do NOT equal safe space
Large followings does NOT equal safe space

Allowing repeated sexual predators into safe spaces is harmful.

Refusing to address predators in these spaces is dangerous.

Staying silent, deflecting, justifying when abuse or harm has happened in spaces we support or run is betrayal of trust and harmful.

There's so much predatory behavior in spiritual/healing/wellness spaces and it is NOT addressed enough.

We need MORE ACCOUNTABILITY!

I’ve been reflecting on ACCOUNTABILITY in healing, spiritual & wellness communities. Too often, it's ABSENT.

Many spaces claim to be trauma-informed or healing, but when HARM is raised, they respond w/ silence, defensiveness or retaliation. This is not care nor safety.

It’s worse

At increasing levels, some of these INDUSTRIES target people w/ histories of trauma as part of their business model marketing healing while failing to hold the weight of trauma, training, responsibility, integrity or lineage.

Profit, visibility, influence take priority over real care

This is NOT just about individual healers. It's about systems that allow harm to continue:
• platforms
• institutions
• allies
• & communities that stay silent, double down or defend abusers

These patterns are familiar

They are the SAME behaviors victims face in family court ... gaslighting, silencing, deflection, retaliation, & systems protecting abusers, predators, & those in power instead of those harmed.

True healing spaces are different

They're rooted in integrity, safety, & responsibility

People & "the work" come before profit. Boundaries are honored. Harm is addressed. Accountability & responsibility is taken seriously.

A space is NOT safe because it says it is

A space is safe because it takes responsibility when safety is tested.

True healing spaces:
• Do not bypass harm in the name of love or light
• Do not silence those who ask for accountability
• Do not center charisma or visibility over care
• Do not extract from sacred or ancestral traditions w/o reverence

Discernment is not judgment. It's self-respect. We all have a role in creating spaces that are NOT just welcoming but truly safe to land in.

Healing cannot exist w/o honesty, accountability, & integrity at every level NOT just among practitioners but across the communities & systems that surround them.

If You Can Heal Trauma, You Can Heal Anything

Laura did not choose this business. It chose her. You must be thinking, WHAT? Yes. The Universe has a way to shift our focus and life. She has learned to bless her junk in order to empower herself and others.

A Little Back Story

She was involved in an abusive relationship at the time. When she finally had the courage to leave in 2005, the abuses escalated, she began to see a divide within herself. What she was receiving through the shelters and American health care system was not only broken, but amplified and used it against her in court with her abuser when she sought help.
