Supporting sensitives and empaths in being in a more conscious, empowered relationship with themselves, others, and their work.

Welcome, dear one!

I’m so glad you’re here! I started this project out of a passion for supporting sensitives in finding their authentic voice. As sensitives we are particularly prone to the influences of cultural and familial conditioning—most of which has told us that our sensitivity is not wanted. That our tenderness is weak and our feelings are over the top. And then we bring this limiting programming and the trauma surrounding it into our relationships.

I’ve worked with sensitives and empaths for over a decade and have gotten to see and experience how powerful it is to identify and dismantle our patriarchal conditioning. When we are freed up to embrace the gifts that accompany our sensitivity, our open hearts, our access to intuition, our consciousness, our commitment to living our callings, it’s amazing what gets to unfold.

Let’s work together!

  • Conscious Relationships

    As empaths and sensitives, we often have a default mode of noticing/tending to others’ needs, feelings and expectations over our own. This often leads to resentment, discontentment, and a feeling loneliness in our relationships. What might it look like to shift out of this default mode into a place of authentic connection?

    Owning Your Gifts

    This path is essentially about your relationship with yourself. Growing up in a patriarchal culture, we are conditioned to believe that our sensitivity is less than. That tenderness is weak. That our emotions are too much. We are taught to value logic over intuition. This work is about identifying and dismantling old conditioning in order to create space to embrace and cultivate all of our gifts.

    Mentorship

    As sensitives and empaths, we are often drawn to the wellbeing field, as healers, counselors, coaches. But many of us haven’t had the guidance, strategies, and support we need to grow and run our wellbeing businesses. Much of the entrepreneurship advice out there comes from the hyper-masculine grind culture. What does it look like to run a business that’s in alignment with our energy and values?

We are all whole beings with incredible access to the full range of experience. The binary of feminine and masculine is socially constructed and encourages us to limit ourselves and our capacity based on how we think we should be or what is culturally valuable.

Want to deepen your capacity to have transformational conversations with clients?

Whether you’re a healer, a coach, a seasoned therapist, or right out of graduate school in the wellbeing field, this book offers you some simple and transformational practices for your work with clients.

“I have been a therapist for many years and got a lot out of reading this book. Using generative questions to gently guide clients to think deeply and positively about the changes they want, is so productive.”

-Cady Wells, Therapist

“Conversations Worth Having for Clinicians, Case Workers and Coaches is a treasure for those of us in clinical mental health fields. I ordered a copy for my colleagues and have recommended it to my graduate internship classes. With those internship classes, I incorporated the use of “Pause, Breathe and Get Curious”. It has been amazing how much peace and centeredness that little pause gives to people who are new to the field of mental health counseling.”

-Jim Wentz, Therapist, Supervisor

So what does this work actually look like?

It looks like reclaiming and owning the parts of us we’ve cut off from or looked down upon, the tender parts, the needy parts. It looks like unburdening ourselves from the responsibility of having to be a certain way that aligns with your gender presentation. That might look like letting go of caring for others over caring for yourself OR it might look like tending to others needs before your own. This work is not about making ‘feminine’ qualities MORE valuable than ‘masculine’.  It is about restoring balance within ourselves and the way we show up in the world.

It is about healing both the feminine and the masculine wounds. We are all negatively impacted from the patriarchal conditioning. It is about moving through and letting go of anger associated with the masculine so that we can embrace all qualities within ourselves and in others.

 Not only will this work transform your own experience but it will transform your relationships. We cannot have true intimacy while we’re limiting the full expression of who we are.

  • "I just can't say enough good things. Laura is a rare kind of practitioner. She knows when to hold space and listen and when to re-frame and give choices. She has an abundance of knowledge and tools in her toolkit. I get so much out of her insights, positivity and kindness."

  • "I had a fantastic session with Laura! She really, really helped me in an area that I had literally been stuck in for a long time…I brought up something up that I’d already brought up a million times [with other coaches and friends] and I had a major breakthrough with it!"

  • "The positive outcomes I see coming from my experience working with Laura center around the perspective of patience with myself. I realized that I place unattainable expectations on myself, and as a result tend to feel defeated because I am unable to achieve these goals….Kindness to myself and to my situation is inevitably the only way I will be able to achieve my vision of my future.”
