FUN FACTÂ #2
I get super smiley when I'm nervous, which IÂ guess works to my advantage.
FUN FACT #3
May fiancé and I share the same birthday, but we are 9 years apart.
I'M LAURA.
Loosing my health and what felt like my mind in my late teens is the reason I do what I do today, because I know what it's like to be constantly sick, stressed, tired and depressed.
I found out how to recover and rebuild from my own rock bottom.
I didn’t choose this path because it was inspiring or spiritual at the time, I chose it because I wasn’t getting better doing things the conventional way. So, I went looking for something different.
Now I'm committed to helping others do the same.
MY STORY
My journey back to health and happiness was far from a smooth ride...
While I always managed to keep a smile on my face most days, I was still facing a daily internal battle with feelings of anxiety, depression, debilitating digestive issues, exhaustion and overwhelm.
Overcoming my physical and mental health challenges, was anything but easy. It was definitely a long term game.
Once I finally took the leap and left my job as a hairdresser, I started my mission in gaining all the knowledge I possibly could, to rebuild my life and my health.
I was all in... but healing didn’t come easily.
Every time I thought I was making progress, another challenge would show up. It felt like life kept pulling the rug out from under me, and I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I was doing all the things we’re told to do:
“Eat healthy. Exercise. Stay positive.”
But those things only got me so far.
It wasn’t until I realised that those were just two pieces of a much bigger puzzle, that everything began to shift.
What I really needed was a holistic approach, one that included the nervous system, energy, emotions, belief patterns, environment and soul.
So, I studied anything and everything I could about healing; nutrition, naturopathy, sound healing, Reiki, Spinal Flow, flower essences, breathwork, yoga, life coaching, EFT, Spinal energetics, numerology and some may other little things in between.
Not just to feel better, but to truly understand my body.
To rebuild from the inside out.
To become the version of myself I always knew was in there.
Now, I help others do the same with my 1-1 sessions nervous system-based energy work sessions and my Reiki Certification program Shala of Light.Â
Nutrition and personal training (2014) -Â I chose to study nutrition first as that's where most people start out on their health journey. However, I realised very quickly there was much more to consider when it can to whole health and wellbeing.
Herbalism and Naturopathy (2014 - 2016) - The philosophy of naturopathy inspired me as it believes that the body is a whole interconnected system and focuses on the root cause of disease and disharmony within the body. After I completed my studies, I felt like I had a good foundation to help myself and others, but something was missing...
Sound healing and reiki (2018) - I began to be fascinated beyond the physical and how energy and vibrational frequencies had the ability to influence everything within and around them. So, I studied sound healing, reiki and vibrational medicine.
Yoga and Breathwork (2019 - 2020) - After holidaying in Bali I committed to return and do a 200hr Shamanic Yoga Teacher training with Levi Banner, which opened me up to the world of yoga, pranayama and shamanism. Which I then went on to do further study in Shamanism and cyclical breathwork in 2020.
Coaching (2021) - I committed to a 6-month Quantum Coaching certification, as I discovered if you don't have the right mindset healing and transformation is much more difficult. I learnt so much about myself and how to work deeper with my clients with my new skills of EFT, timeline technique and a deeper capacity to hold space for others
Spinal Flow Technique (2022) -Similar to Reiki, Spinal Flow is a form of energy work that help to release stored physical, chemical and emotional stress from the body and activates the body's natural healing response.
Spinal Energetics (2023) - Spinal energetics often gets confused with Spinal Flow but they are two separate modalities. Although I don't use this technique in my client sessions, it taught me some valuable insights about working with energy and assessing the body.
