"You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong -
Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you."
- David Whyte
About Laura
I have a near insatiable desire for the timeless, the otherworldly, and the vast realm of possibility that dwells just outside of ordinary consciousness.
Along the way, I’ve experimented with different ways of being in relationship to this unremitting drive including denial, attempting to control or mitigate it, and using it as fuel for hierarchical advancement and relentless forward progress. I’ve gained worldly success and many athletic accomplishments through these strategies with little or short-term fulfillment, as well as unsustainable life-diminishing side effects.
The gift of the hunger though, is that it doesn’t allow me to settle for anything less than an extraordinary life.
Through dedicated practices that I’ve designed and collected from my own coaches and mentors, as well as from thought leaders in the areas of flow science, energy work and intuitive cultivation, indigenous reciprocity, and living a soul led existence, I’ve learned how to be in relationship with the fire. I allow it to feed and nourish me, and I give it away as a gift and an honoring of my small and fortuitous place in eternity.
I work with people who are passionate about bringing a new way of being into the world and unleashing their own creative self expression. My role as a collaborator in ushering your vision from down the dream world into this manifest one is to provide a clear mirror and channel for reflecting your unique gifts and talents, and to provide tools for cultivating a way of being that makes your highest, most aligned dreams inevitable.
