About Nonlinear Medicine and
Remembering The Ways of Curvature

​

Modern life has linearized us. We are told to think straight, walk straight and be straight. We drive on grid-lines, memorize textbook lines and follow external outlines of who and how we should be. We are disconnected from the deep organic webs of relationship and holistic knowledge that sustains life and health: deep relationship with one-another, with nature, with the more-than-human-world, and the wholeness of our own beings. We have broken the Circle. Our minds, bodies and souls have become flattened, linearized, colonized, divided into boxes and disciplines, conformed to the expectations of centralized powers, disconnected from authentic self, purpose and power. Linearization and disconnection are at the root of so many of our dis-eases and states of oppression in the world. But we can heal and liberate ourselves by re-membering the nonlinear intelligence of our minds, bodies, and souls...re-membering ourselves back together with one another and the earth again, bringing our unique gifts into co-creation for the world and restoring the circular consciousness of the whole.

​

Through a combination of Western and Indigenous science, nutrition and plant medicine, art-making, ritual and healing circles, I help people re-connect with curvature and their nonlinear intelligence. I help people reconnect with their circular indigenous knowledge systems (knowledge indigenous to their beings - that they were born into the world carrying - and that comes from the lands and ways of knowing of their ancestors). I help people re-member the unique curvatures of their souls and expressions in this world. In doing so, we bring curvature and connection back to our cells, self, society and biosphere. We liberate ourselves from linear rule and disease, healing into the fullness of our nonlinear beings.

About

Dr. Laura Batson

Naturopathic Doctor

Dr. Laura Batson is a multifaceted facilitator who seamlessly blends the roles of naturopathic doctor, artist, poet, and ritualist. Her approach is deeply rooted in the belief that true healing comes from within, when we come home to ourselves and the medicine we carry inside.

 

Laura is passionate about helping people rediscover their innate wisdom, nonlinear navigation tools, and indigenous cosmologies. As a naturopathic doctor, and the lead facilitator for the Ottawa Rape Crisis Centre’s Nature-based Healing Program, as well as the course, Birthing Black Curve, Laura empowers participants to break free from the constraints of colonial conformity and reconnect with nonlinear ways of knowing, Ancestral knowledges, and holistic nature-based healing.

​​​

During her postgraduate studies in Holistic Science, Laura immersed herself in traditional and Indigenous knowledge systems, holistic healing, complexity theory and systems thinking, including practices of intuition, spirit-dialogue, and artmaking as integral tools for scientific inquiry. 

​

These insights and experiences led her away from the conventional biomedical path and instead she pursued a 4 year degree in naturopathic medicine.

​

Laura invites her clients and students to embark on a journey of healing by re-membering, by coming home to themselves, in coherence with the whole.
