"Laura's session 'Imposter Syndrome and How We Operate Under Pressure' was very well received by our diverse group — from articled clerk to partner, every participant found it helpful. One staff member reported putting the learning into practice that same day. I would highly recommend this session."
— Elisabeth Lees, Partner, Claritas Legal & Compliance

"Laura's group vision board workshop was incredibly impressive and greatly appreciated. It significantly enhanced our retreat, and this workshop positively impacted the way in which we each showed up each day.
As a trained Art Psychotherapist, I fully subscribe to the neuroscientific importance art and creativity have, and I could see the sense of calm the team experienced during the process. It was most professionally organised."
— Anne-Marie Diaz, Programme Coordinator, Family Resource Centre,
Department of Counselling Services, Cayman Islands Government

“Coaching with Laura really helped me to think differently, make clearer decisions about my future, and stay true to what matters to me. I noticed a huge difference in school with being able to choose to think a different thought, which helped with anxiety. Creating a decision-making toolbox was really helpful, and I definitely feel I can make decisions so much better and clearer. I know now that I can always make another choice. Even yesterday I was thinking, ‘What are my values?’ before making a decision! I definitely got what I needed out of coaching with Laura.”

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I know what it means to carry responsibility, make decisions under pressure and be the person others rely on - even when you’re struggling yourself. My years in legal practice taught me how easily professional success can come at the expense of personal wellbeing.
As a widow and solo parent who lives far from home, I have rebuilt my life more than once, and I know firsthand that contentment doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from making space for what matters most.
My work brings that understanding to developing leaders and coaching individuals with insight, compassion and the belief that you can take your responsibilities seriously without losing yourself in them.
You don’t need a perfect life to feel contented; you need a life that feels like yours.
