About
Dr. Laura Woodward
Welcome to REVIVE Health and Wellness Center—a space born from a lifelong calling to serve, heal, and uplift both people and animals.
My name is Dr. Laura Woodward. I am a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine with a heart that has always been rooted in service. From a young age, I felt a deep desire to help others—whether they had two legs or four. That desire has shaped my life’s path and evolved into a mission to support healing on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Throughout my journey, I’ve been privileged to care for animals as a veterinarian, and to guide people on their personal healing journeys through mindfulness and self-awareness practices. I’m a certified mindfulness meditation teacher, a certified Awakening Joy teacher and a trained teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion. I am also a certified Reconnection and Reconnective Healing practitioner, a Fast Like a Girl certified coach, and a health and wellness coach. These diverse modalities have not only transformed my own life, but have also become the foundation of the support I offer to others.
REVIVE is the integration of all that I have learned and lived. It is the realization of a vision that brings together science and spirit, heart and skill, animal care and human healing—all under one roof. Here, clients can access a holistic approach to wellness that empowers them to live vibrant, resilient lives grounded in self-love and awareness.
One of the most beautiful aspects of this work is honoring the sacred bond between humans and animals. I believe animals are powerful mirrors and messengers of healing. They reflect the deepest parts of our being and offer us connection, presence, and unconditional love. At REVIVE, I offer energy healing to animals as well, recognizing their unique needs and their profound role in our lives.
I’m truly honored to share this space and this work with the community. REVIVE is more than a wellness center—it’s a heartfelt offering of everything I have gathered in my life so far, dedicated to the healing and awakening of both people and their beloved animal companions.
About
Mike Woodward, LMT

My name is Mike Woodward. I came to the practice of massage therapy as an older person. My desire to do this special work originated in the early 2010s, when I discovered that, of all the different types of work I’ve done in my life, the one thing that I enjoyed the most about each of them has been the opportunity to to work one-on-one with people—to learn their stories, and to gain a genuine sense of who they are, and how they want to show up in the world.
​
In 2019, as a friend’s mother lay dying, her only wish each day was for a massage to ease the discomfort of being bedridden. When I heard this, I thought, “This is what I’m going to do.” I want to provide comfort, solace, and healing touch to as many people as possible. I want my massage space to be a safe space for all people—a place where I can listen to them deeply, and where I can use skillful touch to remind them that they are, themselves, their best source of comfort and healing.
​
To jumpstart my massage journey, I trained at the hallowed Sarasota School of Massage Therapy, but my work is fundamentally grounded in Zen meditation. My journey of self-awareness began in the early 1990s in California and the Pacific Northwest, where I practiced zazen in both the Rinzai and Soto traditions. In addition to lay practice, I also engaged monastic study at Zen Mountain Monastery and Dai Bosatsu Zendo in the Catskill Mountains of New York.
​
Regarding REVIVE, I complement Dr. Woodward’s approach to health and healing with integrative bodywork that focuses on the whole person, not just individual muscles and joints. My work deviates from traditional massage therapy by helping clients develop more self-awareness and more capacity for self-healing. I do not offer strictly deep tissue massage or sports massage, or modalities that focus solely on manipulating muscles and fascia. Rather, I focus on moving energy and shifting paradigms. I want my clients to understand that they are the ones who will ultimately heal themselves. I assist that healing with love, compassion, and intuition.
​
Finally, I’d like to relate that my journey is constantly unfolding, and I look forward to incorporating insights gained to help heal people (and animals) in ways that resonate with them.
