✨ For leaders ready to step into authentic, embodied leadership.
✨ For facilitators who want to create powerful, safe, and sacred experiences.

Are you ready to create unforgettable experiences?
Holding sacred space is respected and understood as an important responsibility in transforming the world. By learning to respect ourselves, our own healing and the teachings of cultures, we can take this energetic responsibility to a whole new level.
This 6 month training is designed to tap into the power of human connection while embodying sacred knowledge, both of which are essential in being an effective space holder.
Over the course of 6 months, you will learn tools to help you better understand and authentically communicate the magic of your medicine.
The goal is for you to confidently share your voice, wisdom and gifts, manage your personal energy and transform the energy of the spaces you hold, while honouring Cacao, ancient traditions, ancestors and elders.
You will benefit from personal support from Laura, who has over 15 years of experience as a facilitator and sacred space holder, and support from a group of like minded individuals committed to this learning journey
When you hold space through events, retreats, classes, or gatherings, you’re saying YES to a beautiful responsibility: to be the alchemist who holds the energy for others to heal, shift, and be deeply nurtured.
Join my free masterclass and step confidently into this role. Learn the essential foundations that make your space a sacred portal for transformation — for you and for those you serve.
Are you ready to create powerful, heart-centered experiences that change lives?
Embrace the sacred essence in your life and your work, cultivate confidence in your inner wisdom, and strengthen your connection to the divine and the natural world.

About Laura’s training and lineages
The ability to share sacred wisdom comes in 3 stages. We learn through knowledge, we gain wisdom through personal experience and embodying the knowledge, we then remember that this wisdom has been within us all along.
Born and raised in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, I have always embodied the importance of honouring ancestral lineages, and practiced earth based rituals. The deep inner knowing and intuition that guides me comes from a combination of my communing with Cacao in my personal life, my sacred relationship with Nature and Spirit as well as extensive training with experienced practitioners and elders around the world.
As a teacher and student of somatic dance (Nia Technique), Yoga and Mindfulness meditation, and a Master Reiki practitioner, Laura has held safe space, ceremony and retreats for students for 15+ years.
Over the past 6 years she has been holding Cacao Ceremonies and has been in deep shamanic initiations and has trained with shamanic wisdom keepers around the world, including but not limited to;
Humpiq Nusta: Andean Medicine Woman apprentice with Maestro Puma and Maestra Jemmita, the lineage of the Seven Rays.
Under mentorship with John Lockley, South African Songoma (Medicine man)
Cacao facilitator training by Lisa Davis, initiated as a Sacred Andean Paqo, South Africa. Shamanic Breathwork Training with Q’ero initiated Johnson Chong, Australia.
Despacho and Amaru Muru initiations with Maestro Edgar Kumara Caceras, Peru.
Munay-ki rites initiated by DJ Reyes, Initiated Inkan Priestess and Shamanic Practitioner.
History and Science of Cacao Training with Seleno Health and Mayan Cacao workshops with The Mayan Wisdom Project.
I have had the honour to hold Cacao Ceremonies and Facilitated sessions throughout the world, including the scared lands of South Africa, Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, Sweden, UK and Peru.
I have deep passion for holding sacred ceremony and a fierce protection over holding space and using Cacao with integrity and respect for lineages.
My intention behind holding these trainings is to ensure participants attend ceremonial spaces are held in a safe and supportive manner, that indigenous medicine men and women, ancestors and elders are respected for their wisdom, that ixCacao receives the honour she deserves and that facilitators are able to continue their service embodied, empowered and energised with a deep wisdom and understanding of their path of service.
I honour and thank the guardians of the lands of my ancestors, wisdom teachers, the lands that have taught me and the land of Singapore which I currently call home.
