Join Karla Kyte, CDLP® and Licensed Legal Professional Laura Landon as they dive into an important and evolving role on the divorce team in Colorado — the Licensed Legal Paraprofessional (LLP).

Laura has been working in family law since 2009 and has come to appreciate helping clients through difficult and emotional times. As a paralegal, she has supported a Colorado SuperLawyer for over a decade and routinely assists in complex litigation matters. Now, as a Licensed Legal Paraprofessional, her extensive experience in family law has been invaluable when assisting clients dealing with divorce, legal separation and disputes over parenting responsibilities and child support. 

In 2021, Laura began volunteering on the Colorado Supreme Court subcommittees dedicated to bridging the gap in access to justice through the creation of the Licensed Legal Paraprofessional program. Laura has been advocating for this new profession for several years and testified before the Colorado Supreme Court on its behalf in 2022. She was recently appointed to the Colorado Supreme Court’s LLP Oversight Committee – one of only two non-attorneys on that counsel.

Laura is a member of the Colorado Bar and several other Bar Associations, as well as the Family Law Section of the Bar. She volunteers as Co-Chair of the Rocky Mountain Paralegal Association's LLP Section, educating paralegals about the profession and promoting the interests of LLPs within the legal community.

In the midst of heartbreak, healing begins — Join Amy Valdivia, CDLP and Natasha Davidson of Heart Rooted Health as they discuss how to reconnect with yourself and heal your heart during divorce. This episode is a soul-soothing journey you don’t want to miss.

After experiencing the shock of her divorce, Natasha discovered that it was one of the greatest gifts of her life—an opportunity to rebuild and create a new perspective on life.

Determined to heal on a deeper level, she immersed herself in emotional healing and uncovered an energy-balancing technique that clears stress and brings harmony to the nervous system. As she began sharing this work with others, she developed a unique ability to pinpoint and transform outdated memory patterns. Clients often report feeling lighter, clearer, calmer, more inspired, and more empowered, with physical symptoms commonly resolving on their own. They love this approach because it doesn’t require them to rehash their past—just a simple neurological update that dissolves emotional triggers.

Natasha works with clients individually and in group settings, leading workshops on embodiment and empowerment. She delights in witnessing transformational shifts and guiding others back into alignment with their true nature.
