<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAffectionately known as America\u2019s Holistic Sweetheart, Laurino\u2019s deep appreciation for holistic living can be attributed to her paternal grandmother\u2019s influence, who instilled in her the concept of \u201cfrom garden to table\u201d \u2013 a philosophy emphasizing natural remedies over pharmaceuticals. This holistic perspective became her guiding force, leading her to pursue a career in holistic health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A chance encounter with renowned psychic Sylvia Browne catalyzed her journey. After winning a reading with Browne, she was told her career path was in holistic health and healing, sparking her curiosity to discover what that meant. She explored various fields, from liberal arts to criminal justice, before graduating from massage school in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laurino\u2019s upbringing in the culturally diverse hub of New Jersey exposed her to various backgrounds, languages, and cuisines that shaped her global perspective. Her travels to different countries further broadened her horizons, creating a discerning outlook on global affairs and the importance of individuals in shaping their destinies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She shared her inaugural collaborative project, \u201cThe Chakra Journey,\u201d a book she published while volunteering at the renowned New York Open Center, the world\u2019s largest Holistic Urban Learning Center. There, she crossed paths with Deepak Chopra and later assisted him on several occasions. On this particular encounter, they chuckled at the uncanny resemblance between their book covers just before he addressed the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laurino\u2019s experiences extended beyond the written word. During a tour in Toronto, she shared a backstage moment with David Wolfe, the Nutribullet spokesperson. Wolfe\u2019s focus on the present moment resonated deeply with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI learned through my collaborations that there is no better time than now,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mindset led Laurino to establish the first holistic chamber of commerce in New Jersey. Her advocacy also extended to the White House, where she championed food label transparency alongside a diverse group of experts, emphasizing the consumers\u2019 right to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her dedication continued with a public access TV show on holistic lifestyle approaches, transcending borders and providing a platform to promote alternative health practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI needed to be the change I wish to see in the world,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd what I wanted to do with this show was to take the apprehension out of trying alternative health modalities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laurino\u2019s journey taught her resilience and humility. She has navigated moments of TV stardom and days spent renewing food stamps, learning the true value of earning her success and paying it forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laurino\u2019s attentiveness to mind, body, and spirit enabled her to open up Mountain Mobile Massage locally in 2022, and it continues to leave community members feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and healed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve hand-selected estheticians, and we\u2019ve got massage therapists. My husband is a paleo chef. He just took a leap of faith, leaving Nashville to come closer to the mountains, offering dietary-friendly options as Chef Jay Hey with Mountain Mobile Meals.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n In her eyes, holistic health is not just a personal endeavor; it\u2019s a lifestyle approach that starts with self-improvement and ripples outwards. She believes that we are all interconnected, and the healing of individuals extends to the recovery of communities and the planet itself.
