about laura
I’ve never had a particularly straightforward answer to: “so, what do you do?”
I’m a professional singer, musician and teacher, as well as a coach, mentor, website designer and writer. I’m endlessly curious, slightly obsessed with learning, and happiest when I’m helping someone take an idea, understand it properly and make something brilliant from it.
all my threads
It turns out that all these different threads weave together rather beautifully…
I’m a professional singer, musician and teacher, as well as a coach, mentor, website designer and writer. I’m endlessly curious, slightly obsessed with learning, and happiest when I’m helping someone take an idea, understand it properly and make something brilliant from it.
Throughout all of it I have been doing variations of the same things: listening closely, learning, teaching, noticing patterns, making complicated things clearer, drawing good work out of people, creating things and helping other people create theirs.
proud neophile
I’m a proud multipassionate mum of three and I do lots of things I love to earn money…
I’m a coach/teacher hybrid (ceacher?!) to high-achieving, deeply creative women who want to build businesses that honour both their intelligence and their real-life circumstances (think filmmakers, psychotherapists, CEOs of choirs etc). I create communities full of the kind of women you’ve been wanting to hang out with forever.
I’ve been a teacher for over 20 years, though from January 2027 I’m taking a break to apply for and begin a Master’s in the Psychology of Learning.
I’m also a professional soprano, singing with groups like the Monteverdi Choir and OAE, and on films like Avengers (and I teach singing 1:1).
I also design Squarespace websites for creatives (lots of musos, mainly).
I used to have two badass podcasts and want to bring one back, but I only have so much time (stay tuned…).
I have a 12-year-old, a 10-year-old and a 3-year-old and live in Surrey with my husband, kids, my parents and my 95-year-old Grandpa. It takes a village and mine is all in.
I’m obsessed with learning, music, creativity, making (cakes, kids, businesses), starting hobbies and not quite seeing them through — but no longer feeling guilty about it — flat whites, earnest conversations, pedagogy, parenting, other women and making communities.
I adore writing and do so on my Substack, where I am growing a thriving community.
My word for 2026 is integrity.
I am so proud to be a multi-passionate. I used to believe that showing up online I could only share parts of myself. I now know that the more I share of my passions (and the income streams they come with) the more this is normalised and celebrated!
With this in mind I commissioned the magnificent Trina Dalziel to create this image to best represent my multipassionate life. Here’s why we chose each element:
Bird
I am a creative, and I am a dreamer. This bird represents how it feels to let my dreams soar. It represents how I feel when I play, sing or hear music I love. It represents the ambition and joy I have for my clients, that they too can let their ideas breathe and soar.
Listening Leaf
I spend a lot of my time listening: to my clients, to my and others’ music, to my children, to nature, to my own thoughts. We wanted to reflect the naturalness of this with leaves, to further reflect my love of nature. Most things can be solved with a good stomp in a park or wood.
Dahlias
I am a passionate and lazy gardener. We are so fortunate to have a big garden, and at its best it is a blaze of colour. At its worst it is parched. My favourite flowers are dahlias because of their abundance and how they extend the season, but I wish they had scent.
Hands
As your coach and mentor I “hold space” for you to explore your brilliant ideas. I am also extremely tactile, and if you’re happy to you’ll get cuddled by me (one of the reasons I love having three kids!) I use my hands as a creative force, and I love having my nails done!
Nest
I have three remarkable children. I think they’re incredible (and I love it when they’re not constantly asking me for snacks). I also have had three miscarriages, little stars twinkling down on us. My husband deserves a mention here: a proper co-parent who is our rock, and with whom I have pass-agg conversations about whose work needs to take priority at certain points in the year.
Suitcase
This is the space for me to fill with more wonderful ideas, projects, schemes, hobbies, dreams, children…?!
Music
Music is at the core of my creativity and of my family: my children make music (violin, piano, cello, singing), my husband is a musician, my parents are musicians, my sister and her partner… I have played the violin since I was four and now love my weekly amateur orchestra, as well as earning money from singing, composing and conducting.
And fancy things about me…

how I can help
Fancy working together?
COACHING AND MENTORING
for when you’re ready to work out what comes next
You’ve got ideas, ambition and plenty of potential, but you need somewhere to untangle it all. I’ll help you work out what you want, find the thread, make some decisions and turn all that thinking into something you can actually do.
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE DESIGN
for when your brilliant work needs a brilliant home.
Beautiful, personality-filled Squarespace websites for musicians, coaches, creatives and independent professionals who want a website that reflects who they are, shows how good they are at what they do, and helps the right people find them.
and yes, somettimes you need a bit of both
P.S. I’m also a music teacher and soprano
I believe profoundly and passionately in music education, and it has been my privilege to teach 1000s of young people in my career as a secondary and primary music teacher, and Director of Music.
I am fortunate to sing with the finest choral ensembles in the world, on the best movies on the planet, compose music that “inspires” (haven’t in the past year but will do in 2026) and conduct brilliant vocal and instrumental ensembles.
I sing with BBC Singers, Tenebrae, Monteverdi Choir, OAE, Polyphony, Archangelo, The Cardinall's Musick, London Voices and many other ensembles and consorts. I record regularly with London Voices at Abbey Road and Air Studios on films such as Barbie, Avengers, Captain Marvel, Mission Impossible… I am a soprano but am happy to sing in an alto range. I have perfect pitch, which is useful (and which I think explains a lot of the ways in which my beautiful brain thinks differently).
