LAURA SHAPIRO

Laura Shapiro is one of the world’s foremost authorities on Ibogaine and addiction recovery. She survived nearly two decades of opiate addiction, having tried every conceivable traditional rehab and detox approach, until she discovered Ibogaine in 2006 as a last-ditch effort for healing. This transformative experience not only saved her life but also ignited her passion for helping others.

Following her remarkable recovery, Ms. Shapiro was invited to a mentorship with Dr. Deborah Mash, the only doctor ever granted FDA approval to study Ibogaine. Dr. Mash brought Ms. Shapiro onto the staff of the University of Miami’s Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, Department of Neurology.

For over a decade, Laura Shapiro previously served as Co-Founder and Director of Admissions for a former premiere Ibogaine clnic, working closely with thousands of individuals seeking healing through Ibogaine. She has completed more medical intakes and Ibogaine onboarding than anyone else in the industry, ensuring that clients are thoroughly prepared and supported through safety protocols. With her unique blend of clinical, professional, and personal experience, Ms. Shapiro has become a trusted figure in the field, offering unparalleled expertise and support to those in need.

Laura Shapiro is the CEO and Founder of Bassé, a deeply personal mission dedicated to facilitating healing on a larger scale. With Bassé, Laura has created a vision for a new standard in Ibogaine treatment—one that prioritizes proper care, medical support, holistic modalities, integration, and meticulous attention to detail—creating a 5 star boutique experience for clients.

Bassé is truly a labor of love, driven by Laura’s passion to support individuals on their road to recovery. It has been a dream of hers for many years, and she considers it an honor and a privilege to share it with the world, and the incredibly gifted team that has joined this cuase.
