Ellie
“I was feeling overwhelmed with how much I was juggling in the limited childcare hours I had. I wanted to try and find ways to support myself now rather than focusing on the future ‘it will be better when…’ I wanted life to feel slower and calmer. I wanted more self-compassion and to be less judgmental of myself and others.
I wasn’t sure I would be able to make the changes I wanted when life was feeling so busy and overwhelming. But how much did shift and change as we worked together! I got so much closer to living my values and feeling strong in them than I could have imagined. I found Laura to be such a compassionate, wise guide with many astute observations and reflections that really helped me to get closer to what I value in life. The more I have my own back and prove to myself it’s safe to stand in my values, the more I live a life of integrity.
My biggest takeaway is the power of signing up to coaching! There is so much power in taking the time for yourself, prioritising yourself and feeling very held and supported by Laura. I felt she was my cheerleader throughout and helped me to set realistic actions that didn’t feel overwhelming. Thank you. I’m so much closer to the way I want to show up in the world!”

“When we started I was in a bit of a slump, not feeling confident and not doing my best in things. I was trying to create more optimism, more structure and to attract the right kind of people and atmosphere. I was working a lot when I didn’t necessarily need to be and I wanted to overthink less. As coaching was new for me, I wasn’t sure if it would be difficult to build up a relationship and talk about personal things virtually, but it always felt like a comfortable and safe space and it was easy to talk. Laura is really good at listening and asked really thought-provoking questions in session, that I would go away with and think about in my own time. She was always very understanding when I had setbacks.
The biggest change I’ve witnessed is having challenged my negative outlook. I see things from a different point of view now and have applied that to other areas. I question why I am holding myself to standards that I don’t hold other people to and when I am being really harsh on myself for no reason. I’m starting to break things down and see what’s really going on, with the model we used in session. I think about things in a different way now and it’s helped me to stop overthinking and ruminating.
Speaking through things and having goals was a really good experience. My mind can jump around the place a lot so having goals to come back was grounding and welcome structure. I learnt to bring in perspective when I compare myself to others, something I had never managed to do on my own.
This work is for someone who wants to think about life, but with some structure. I think guys can especially struggle with this. It felt easy to speak freely and get in to it. It gives you a new approach to deal with things. It’s for someone who wants change, but doesn’t know how. I really enjoyed the experience and found it hugely beneficial. Thanks a mil.”

“Working with Laura was a genuine privilege and a transformative experience. I would recommend Laura to anyone who wants to be heard, believed, and supported in all that they are and aspire to achieve because that’s what Laura did for me. When I spoke, Laura listened deeply and expertly held space for all that I am and brought to the table. She’s an insightful encourager and knows just when to call you up to the edges of your strengths and genius.
I came to Laura full of doubts that I could achieve my goals, and I left not only having fulfilled them but also transformed into a much more equipped, joyful, and confident person. I now feel unimaginably more liberated to be my authentic self. As of writing this, it’s been five months since our coaching series ended, and I’m still living abundantly in all Laura helped me achieve. With Laura, it’s not just about meeting your goals but setting you up for ongoing success, health, and an authentic life.
Laura is the perfect mix of sensitive, supportive, and courageously rebellious. She will be your biggest cheerleader and support, using her deep well of wisdom and insight to help you live your best life.”

“I was nervous about what we might talk about and I was a bit worried. The feeling I got after sessions surprised me, it was freeing I guess. Like a weight off my shoulders. It helped me have a different outlook. It gives you hope. It’s refreshing. I’m not so stuck in my head.”

“I was trying to move out of home, deciding where to move and whether to move abroad or not. I was trying to figure out what area to work in and what jobs I could do abroad that would give me a good quality of life. I was concerned about choosing the wrong thing, the wrong career, the wrong location and had conflict in some of my relationships.
What surprised me was that the six sessions felt longer than I thought six sessions would – a lot happened in that time. My biggest takeaways are that I can have some of what I want to have abroad regarding routines that make me feel calmer and more grounded here in Ireland and that maybe there is no perfect choice.
I recommend Laura to anyone who is trying to reach a goal and who’s looking for accountability. It was good to have the space to discuss things as my life was very turbulent and I had a lot going on at once - it was good to have one place to talk about it and to have a neutral sounding board. Laura was open to feedback to tailor the experience to me. I suppose some people need or want more interaction whereas I had a lot going on and she was always receptive and respectful.”
