"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
For over a decade, I’ve worked with successful, highly driven athletes, entrepreneurs, executives, and artists. These are people who can’t help but pursue big dreams and goals. The gift of the hunger is that it doesn’t allow them to settle for anything less than an extraordinary life.
The trouble only arises if the fire isn’t properly fed into through a broader context or channeled into pursuits that give more energy than they take. If focus becomes too singular and rigid, it leads to burn out and lack of balance, causing mental health to suffer and the aspirations themselves even begin to lose potency.
As one of these highly driven individuals myself, I know the difference between relentless singular focus and the bounty of pursuing goals within the framework of a flow enhancing 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 healing, strength & mobility training, indigenous wisdom, and living a soul led existence, I’ve learned how to be in relationship with the fire.
I work with people who are passionate about transcending their constraints and unleashing their creative self expression. My role as your collaborator 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.
