Who is Laura Lee?
That's a good question!
I have a gift for working with others, helping them to sense and feel the unity of life. I love to solve problems and to work for a great cause and purpose, as well as to be very sympathetic. I have a naturally compassionate understanding of people with the mind of a lawyer – always able to size up a problem and come up with a unique solution from a new perspective.
Diving in deeper...
Astrologically
Aries Sun in the 11th House
Gemini Moon in the 12th House
Gemini Rising
Let me translate...
I have a very fiery and intense will with my bright Sun in an area of life that is seen easily in groups and communities. Aries is playful and energetic and loves to try new things. With it being in the 11th House, it also makes me quite rebellious for revolutionary changes and I'm always searching for ways to create a better place.
My Moon in Gemini along with the same Rising sign means I show up to others as a friendly and intellectual person who has a lot of information about a lot of various subjects. I especially enjoy and feel emotionally fulfilled by discussing feelings, working on healing, and helping others intellectually understand their own emotions.
My chart also shows my elemental make up and when I was born, there were no planets in any of the three Earth zodiac signs. Much of my chart is made of up the Air element with Fire being the next most dominant. This combo is major ENERGY. I love using this drive to learn and grow myself. to create, and help others.
Relationship
My best-friend, business partner, and husband is one of the most amazing and grounded men that I am so thankful I can anker myself to. Phillip (aka: Pip) and I have been rockin’ life together since 1999 when we were in high school and did musicals and band together.
Our journey has had so many amazing ups and downs and all-arounds in the quarter century we have been together, and we have learned countless lessons along the way from our moves across the country to join the air force, fertility challenges, major mental and physical health struggles, and now being parents of 5 kids, homeschooling, and entrepreneures.
We both felt called to connect deeper with nature, and our lives evolved and unfolded into a holistic and organic path.
In 2012 that winding path lead us to buying our 35 acres in Northeast Wisconsin in the beautiful peninsula of Door County. We work to live as sustainably as we can while learning and growing along with our children.
Our relationship with each other and with the land has formed much of who I am and how I approach my clients’ healing journeys.
Parenting
A Crazy & Beautiful Journey...
We married young—just 21—and immediately dreamed of starting a family. But life had a different lesson in store: we had to wait. For over five years, we learned patience, healed our bodies from the toxic residue of a standard American diet and chemical-laden products, and balanced our hormones. We also discovered how to communicate and fight—and make up—in healthy ways, and how to lean on each other through real hardship. Those years were filled with pain and tears, but they forged a stronger “us.”
Despite multiple rounds of fertility treatments and even adoption efforts, our journey remained childless until we embraced a new path. By shifting to whole-food nutrition, Traditional Chinese Medicine, chiropractic care, and emotional processing practices—and truly surrendering to the process—we finally conceived. Our first pregnancy was proof that healing from the inside out makes all the difference.
2 Decades Later...
Two weeks after turning 41, our “Magic Baby” arrived—completely uninvited—and two weeks later our oldest turned 14. Suddenly I’m parenting two very different sets of kids (15, 12, 10…and then 3 and 1!), each with their own fiery personalities. Enter aromatherapy and astrology: my secret tools for reading and balancing all those big kid energies.
After five years of yearning for our first child—and another four years of health hurdles before welcoming our fourth—I thought I’d learned everything about longing and waiting. But when that unexpected fifth baby showed up, I discovered a whole new lesson in surrendering to the universe’s plan. Documented in my chapter of Dare to Express, my journey with the first three taught me resilience; now I get to practice fresh, more trusting parenting with my littlest two.
These extremes give me a front-row seat to the roller-coaster of parental desire—first wanting so desperately, then being surprised when “more” arrives. The biggest truth I’ve learned? Every child comes with a spiritual contract and lessons meant just for us. No matter how much we wish otherwise, those soul agreements hold the blueprint for our family’s growth.
Homeschooling
Homeschooling is something we are passionate about and have done over a decade now.
Our version of homeschool is highly focused on allowing the child to lead by what their interest is. We then create an educational experience focused on that.
Learn more about our homeschooling journey and experiences below.
Homebirthing
Birthing babies is something I hold a deep regard for and have had the privilege to be a part of 45 births as a midwife assistant. I value the empowering experience a woman goes through when she is in her home environment and trusts her surroundings, her partner and her midwife.
I had the honor of birthing my 5 babies all at home and all exactly the way I would have hoped and dreamed. It is truly a blessing for 5 wonderful, healthy pregnancies and births.
Homesteading
Since 2012, we have been actively growing our organic farm and homestead, The Aquarian Acres.
With a wide array of fruit trees and bushes in the ground and growing steadily, we will continue to grow our offerings and keep expanding what we can share with the community.
With disc golf, gardens, donkeys, chickens, produce, events and more, there is always something happening at the homestead.
Holistic Living
Holistic living is how our family has solved MANY health problems. As a certified aromatherapist, I have utilized the power of plants to deal with emotional struggles, physical issues, hormone imbalances, spiritual openings, and even relationship challenges. Teaching others how to work holistic healing practices into their lives is one of my favorite things to do. It brings me so much joy to share how amazing life can be when we are free of pain and inflammation.
My Wishes & Hopes
I wish for a society where we embrace the energies we don't see with our eyes, but feel within us, and guiding us.
I wish for a society that learns to love, support, and cherish everyone's unique make-up.
I wish for everyone I have the privilege to work with to fully love and accept themselves and their skills, talents, and gifts.
I hope that astrology and aromatherapy will become largely recognized forms of help, support, and therapy for humans to use.
