Dear Laura, Thank you for your gift of bringing kindness and warmth to everyone. At the end of our recent Secret Sunrise session, you gently reminded us to take a look at our toes and say hello to them. I went teary-eyed, I was thankful for such a seemingly small but neglected action of showing appreciation to ourselves. My toes do work hard everyday!” - Personal Letter

“Laura designed and lead a series of wellbeing and mindfulness workshops for our company, a few standouts for me:

* impeccably designed materials with great thought put into the right prompts to ensure we all contributed, despite being fully remote and continued our practice after the course.

* Laura is incredibly knowledgeable but also manages to deliver an education with passion and humour, which makes it all the more easy to digest.

* She is not fazed by a varied audience - large corporate to small wellness practitioner. She can pitch her materials at the right level to get effective buy-in.

* She has an intuitive ability to hold space for people to learn and share, again not easy when fully remote. I think her ability here is the secret sauce, as with that connection and sharing is where the real learning begins” - Alumni Services

I experienced my first cacao ceremony last week and luckily for me I experienced it with the lovely Laura. I didn’t know what to expect but I did have visions of feeling awkward about sharing feelings within a group and then dancing in a small group setting. 

However, nothing about the experience was awkward at all! Laura put us at ease immediately and made the space feel extremely safe. There was absolutely no pressure to take part in anything, just a little encouragement to embrace the evening. Laura balanced the evening so well, giving a good amount of information, movement in the form of dance, meditation and relaxation, oracle cards, shares and of course an amazingly tasty cup of cacao.

I left with a full heart and a feeling of connection. I will definitely be back!” - A.

“Laura’s mindfulness course was in such synchronicity it was magical! She gets people on a whole new level and keeps on pushing exactly where one needs it.

A lot of stuff came up and she made me realize it’s ok. And it’s normal to be distracted and also to get an awareness of how much distraction there is as I was getting more mindful of my life and its surroundings. An absolute game changer! Very grateful.

I just “happened” to be in one of Lau’s yoga classes and I immediately had this feeling of belonging. They were always the highlights of my week as I could just be and let go. A healthy balance of guided practice and also room for play and growth. A safe and happy place.” - Marina

“Mindfulness has helped me so much. I find myself drifting off, making up stories in my head, playing out different scenarios etc and then I catch myself and am mindful of where I am now. I start to breathe and just follow the breath. Its almost grounding. I just lay in bed breathe and fall asleep. While working I’m mindful. I feel like these days I’m not wasting my time and energy focusing on things that have no already happened. Thank you so much for this strong reminder of mindfulness. And for teaching me to breathe.” - Vasantha

Laura has this amazing voice! She not only teaches mindfulness but also lives it. Wonderful breath meditations and body scans. I sometimes really struggle to calm down and meditate but with her beautiful words and music she immediately brings me into another state of calmness. It is an absolute feel good and mindful way to begin or end your day or do it whenever it feels right. Great work Laura! Thank you!” - Katja

I met Laura in 1993, high school, Midlands, South Africa. Fast forward 2020…I for sure can call it a breakthrough of the year…many many lows, gutter lows! For me, the past 20 years have been 2020 year after year…for 20 years! Ironically… this 2020, has been the year I’ve been most “alive”, most thankful, most afraid, most aware and I wasn’t going down the same road of a year again. I became intrigued at how Laura had transformed her life over the years, followed her travels all over the world…but my biggest wow was her spiritual journey. When you mindfully exist… really live mindfully, immerse your being into living mindfully in every aspect of your life… it’s core deep… I will always remember to be gentle with myself. Thanks Lau… you are amazing!” - Bonnie
