Mentoring, Coaching and Creative Strategy

I’m Laura, your coach and mentor, here to help you find your way with your creative small business.

I support remarkable, creative women develop heart-led small businesses that wholly align with their lives and values.

I’m also a mum of 3 and a busy multi-passionate, so I get how much you’re dealing with and how it can feel like you’re never going to be able to do life your way. I’m here to help you find that simple ease and joy, to actually make a proper plan and make all those ideas buzzing around your head a reality, in a sustainable and steady way. Here’s our options for working together:

I work with women who are ready to be honest with themselves, who are ready to explore what more there is in life for them, who are ready to scratch the itch, who are ready to be curious, open and honest with themselves about what they’re capable of having and being.

Women who are proud to have strings to their bow - who don't want to be defined by their work, but who want their work to be pretty bloody wonderful. People who are excited about going "and what else is there?" People who believe in doing things to a really damn high standard.

I help my clients live lives that are about more than just work, but who allow themselves to say that their work matters, and who aren’t afraid to say they are ready to make an impact with it. I don't ask them to leave their jobs and risk it all on a hunch. I ask them to be playful, to be curious, to experiment (much in the same way that creatives do), and to see where that takes them.

My clients are interested in working in a way that is energetically sustainable, are curious about or are already actively tracking their energy and cycle, and live gently (or wish they could - they can!) in this way.

I think you are wonderful. I also think that…

…you're ready to accept that you might fail at something - and that's ok, because you never really fail. You learn lessons that you put into practice for the future.

You're a grown-up, and you need money to put food on the table (or maybe to buy a superyacht - whatever floats your boat #sorrynotsorry) and you want to make sure that you're doing work that is worth it.

You're not afraid to seek out and embody excellence in one area. 

You're a bit embarrassed to say this but you have a hunch that you could even be good at more than one thing in your possibly fifty-year long "career"

You're ready to move beyond the view that we have one job destined for us, and to consider anything else is to be irresponsible. 

You're curious about what else there is. You're excited to explore creativity. Or maybe you think creativity is a fancy word for playing. the thing is, you're creative every day, possibly without even realising it.

You're for me if:

  • you're interested in working with people who care about real, lasting human connection

  • you care about your place in the world and the value you give to it (maybe I write the word karma and you nod along)

  • you advocate for others, because you know that knocking them down doesn't make you shine any brighter (but you suffer with comparisonitis sometimes because - oh hello social media and your delightful ability to make us all feel lesser)

  • you genuinely care about what happens to the people you work with - you want to know what outcomes they have and you want them to know that they matter
