Hello, I’m Dr Laura Brera (PhD), founder of Brera Therapies. I practise from the Canonbury Natural Health Clinic in Islington, supporting clients through targeted physical recovery, mental and emotional stress relief, and holistic energy care.

Physical tension, chronic pain, and mental stress rarely happen in isolation. My work is built on the understanding that true recovery happens where the moving body and the embodied mind meet.

Having moved to London from Italy in 2007, I have spent my career exploring how the human body moves, recovers, and heals. My practice is grounded in a unique intersection of three disciplines:

• Professional Dance Experience: First-hand understanding of physical movement, performance demands, and somatic awareness.

• Rigorous Anatomical Study: Detailed clinical knowledge of muscle mechanics, biomechanics, and physical recovery.

• Advanced Academic Research: My PhD research into Reiki-Energy as a resource for healing and recovery directly informs every treatment I deliver.

I offer thorough, honest, and highly individualised care. Rather than generic relaxation, every session is tailored specifically to your physical history, daily demands, and health goals.

Specialised Care

• Active Recovery and Chronic Tension: Helping active individuals, dancers, and athletes manage muscle injuries, persistent tightness, and fatigue to restore ease of movement.

• Oncology Massage: Holding dedicated qualifications in oncology bodywork, I provide safe, gentle, and deeply supportive care tailored to the complex needs of individuals navigating cancer treatment or recovery.

• Energy Healing and Regulation: As a Reiki Master and Teacher, I offer dedicated energy sessions that bridge physical relief with mental clarity, helping reset your nervous system against daily stress.

Professional Standards and Accreditation

Your care is always delivered to the highest clinical and ethical standards. I am a fully registered practitioner with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and a member of the Complementary Therapists Association (CThA).
