Charleston Holistic Center
A Grounded Place When Things Feel Unsteady
Many people are feeling unusually anxious right now — not because something is wrong with them, but because the world itself feels difficult to orient to.
Economic uncertainty, political instability, social tension, and personal pressure all place strain on the nervous system. When that strain accumulates, clarity fades, emotions intensify, and even familiar coping strategies stop working the way they used to.
This is not a failure of discipline or resilience. It is a signal that the system needs support — not more effort.
The Charleston Holistic Center exists to meet people in moments like these. Our work focuses on restoring coherence so steadiness, clarity, and responsiveness can return naturally.
An Integrative Center for Thoughtful, Open-Minded People
We are not a conventional counseling center, and we are not a spiritual retreat. We are an integrative space where grounded clinical work and non-clinical coherence-based practices coexist.
Some people come seeking support for anxiety, overwhelm, or trauma-related stress.
Others arrive during periods of transition, uncertainty, or loss of direction.
Many simply know that what they’ve been doing is no longer sufficient — and they want a steadier way forward.
Our practitioners work with the whole system — mind, body, and inner experience — in ways that respect both science and spiritual intelligence.
You do not need to know exactly what you’re looking for to begin. You only need a willingness to slow down and regain your footing.

Coherence & Harmony Work with Dr. Laura
Grounded, integrative work for thoughtful, open-minded seekers
At the Charleston Holistic Center, my work is focused on helping people return to coherence — within themselves and within their lives.
I work with energy not as an abstract concept, but as something deeply practical. It shapes how we think, how we feel, how we respond, and how clearly we are able to move forward. When energy becomes fragmented or burdened by old patterns, stress, or unresolved experiences, life often feels harder than it needs to be.
The work is grounded in a meditative orientation that allows insight to settle into the body and the system to reorganize itself naturally. As the nervous system becomes calmer and more coherent, clarity, stability, and inner responsiveness often emerge without force or striving.
This coherent process may draw on Reiki, Shamanic Reiki, or Quantum Alchemy Transformation, depending on what supports the person in that moment. In some cases, deeper spiritual work such as soul retrieval or past-life inquiry becomes part of the process — as a way of reclaiming aspects of self that have become disconnected through trauma, transition, or profound life experience.
My role is not to fix you or impose change. It is to create a safe, grounded space where meaningful reorganization can occur — gently, intelligently, and in a way that honors both science and spirit.

Counseling & Hypnotherapy with Lance Garland
At the Charleston Holistic Center, Lance Garland provides trauma-informed counseling and hypnotherapy for people ready for real, lasting change. With over 17 years of clinical experience, he helps clients work through anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, and deeply ingrained patterns that traditional talk therapy often doesn’t fully reach.
Clients often describe Lance’s style as calm, steady, and deeply present—creating a sense of safety that allows meaningful work to unfold. His approach integrates evidence-based methods, including EMDR-informed trauma treatment, clinical hypnosis, and somatic, coherence-based regulation, with a grounded, human presence that supports trust and nervous system regulation. When appropriate, gentle humor is woven into the work—helping ease tension, restore perspective, and support regulation without minimizing the seriousness of what clients are facing.
Dream interpretation may also be integrated into the work when clinically appropriate. Rather than viewing dreams symbolically or abstractly, Lance approaches them as meaningful expressions of the nervous system and unconscious processing. Dreams can offer insight into unresolved material, emotional patterns, and internal conflicts—often revealing information that supports clarity, integration, and forward movement. This work is always grounded, collaborative, and oriented toward practical insight rather than speculation.
This work is well suited for individuals seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and hypnotherapy. Sessions are intentional, integrative, and designed to support real change rather than ongoing maintenance. For those drawn to deeper inner exploration, Lance also offers advanced hypnotherapy, dream-informed work, and exploratory sessions—always grounded in psychological stability and clinical discernment.

Classes & Workshops
Learning at the Charleston Holistic Center is not about accumulating techniques. It is about developing the capacity to stay present, coherent, and responsive — both in daily life and in deeper inner work.
Dr. Laura offers Reiki certification classes for those who feel called to learn and work with energy in a grounded, structured way. These classes emphasize attunement, discernment, and embodied understanding rather than rote technique.
Meditation classes provide a steady space to cultivate calm, clarity, and nervous-system resilience. They are appropriate for both newcomers and experienced practitioners, and are held in a way that supports integration rather than performance.
For those drawn to deeper exploration, shamanic journeying workshops offer guided experiences that support expanded awareness and meaningful inner inquiry. These workshops are approached with care, structure, and respect for individual readiness.
All classes and workshops are taught by Dr. Laura and reflect the same coherent, integrative orientation found throughout the work of the Center.

Why the Charleston Holistic Center
The Charleston Holistic Center was created to offer a grounded, integrative approach to care — one that respects both scientific understanding and inner experience, without collapsing one into the other.
Dr. Laura brings a Ph.D.-level scientific background together with decades of experience in meditation, energy-based work, and integrative spiritual practice. Her work focuses on coherence, embodiment, and the conditions that allow meaningful inner reorganization to occur.
Lance Garland offers licensed professional counseling and hypnotherapy grounded in an evidence-based practice, with a steady, compassionate approach to care. His work supports psychological stability, trauma-informed healing, and practical change within a clear clinical framework.
Together, the Center provides a setting where clinical counseling and non-clinical integrative work coexist — allowing individuals to engage the kind of support that is appropriate for them, at the depth they are ready for, without confusion or pressure.
Whether someone arrives seeking steadiness during a difficult season, support through transition, or a more integrated way of working with mind and inner life, the Charleston Holistic Center offers a thoughtful, grounded place to begin.
A Steady Place to Begin
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Many people arrive feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or simply aware that something needs to shift.
Whether you’re seeking counseling, coherence-based integrative work, or meditation and classes, the Charleston Holistic Center offers a grounded place to begin — with care that meets you where you are and respects your pace.
Support here is not about pushing change. It’s about creating the conditions where harmony, clarity, steadiness, and responsiveness can return naturally.
