Whether you’re interested in greater wellness, spiritual growth or more abundance and professional success, coaching can help you to transform your life in a relatively short time period.

Laura Svolos (Swami Adityananda) is a seminary-trained, certified professional life coach. She integrates best practices of coaching with spiritual principles and metaphysical laws that she has studied over the past 20 years. Her goal is to help you break free from what’s holding you back from living the life that you dream about but feel is out of reach. Her coaching is both highly transformational and sustainable because she combines teaching with coaching.

"...I needed help. Artists have mentors, musicians have master classes, athletes have trainers, but it seemed that business people were always in competition with one another. Then, I discovered coaching and the opportunity to engage a smart, experienced person who had only my success as their goal. In Laura, I found a balanced approach to the blend of practical and spiritual components that needed restoration. An excellent fusion of The Greek, The Buddha, The Christ, and an MBA – all put into an understandable, western vernacular..."
-- Brett Darken, President, North Star Films.

ABOUT LAURA

Laura Svolos

Laura is a certified professional life coach who is also seminary-trained. As such, she has both formal coaching and spiritual training. Her approach to coaching is rooted in teaching people how to apply spiritual principles and metaphysical laws to help them attain their personal and professional goals.

She received her coaching certification from the International Coach Academy (ICA). ICA’s program is accredited with the International Coach Federation. Laura is a featured coach on several websites, including Feroce Coaching (www.ferocecoaching.com). She is also a Swami of Kriya Yoga and was ordained by the Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago, Illinois.

Laura integrates her seminary training with best practices of life coaching. She also draws upon her intuition, her communications background (two degrees from Northwestern University) and 20 years of work experience in high pressure environments that include nonprofit, politics, and the film business.

"Laura has a unique combination of intellect and intuition. Combined with her natural empathy and extensive spiritual training, she has discerned things happening in my life that I was unable to recognize myself, and offer practical solutions that were immediately helpful."
– Kurt Feuer, Attorney

HER APPROACH

Laura has coached people from all walks of life, not just those who are on "the spiritual path." Past clients span the globe and include entrepreneurs, corporate executives, professors, doctors, lawyers, graduate students, working moms, stay-at-home moms, artists, architects, writers, and yes, even other coaches. She tailors her approach to suit the unique needs and interests of each of her clients. However, in general, her coaching will involve the following steps:

  • She helps you to clarify your values and goals. For a lot of us, we think we know what we want. But when we look closer, we may find that what we want is something else. Or we may know what we want, but find that it isn’t consistent with what we value in life. This breeds dissatisfaction.
     
  • She helps you to expand the horizons of your self-awareness and develop greater self-discipline so you can gain more control over your mind, which is the tool by which you are creating the circumstances of your life;
     
  • She helps you to identify the obstacles (internal and external) that may be preventing you from achieving what you want. For example, do you have a limiting belief about what is possible? Or maybe it’s a fear of something?
     
  • She teaches you how to get what you want by sharing principles of Eastern spiritual wisdom and modern physics about how the universe is wired, how you are wired, and how to attune to the universe by working with the laws of the universe instead of against them.
     
  • She works with you to create an action plan. In this regard, she works with people on two levels – an internal level and an external level – because the external universe is a mirror of one’s internal universe. For example, she teaches meditation techniques and other rituals to help individuals manifest their action plan and dissolve that which may be getting in their way of fulfilling it.
     
  • She works as a coach to keep you on track and accountable. Ultimately, her goal is to coach you to independence rather than dependence so you aren’t reliant upon her or anyone else to sustain your progress. She does so through teaching. So the coaching is both highly transformational and sustainable.

Laura works with individuals by teaching them:

  • how the universe is wired;
  • how they are wired; and
  • how to attune to the universe by working with the laws instead of against them.

All of us are creating the circumstances of our lives; most of us are doing it unconsciously. Laura shows you how to do it with intention. She also sheds light on where you are holding a limiting belief or habitual thought pattern that may be preventing you from achieving what you want. And then she teaches you practical techniques on how to overcome it.

Her goal is to coach individuals to independence rather than dependence. She does so through teaching. So the coaching is both highly transformational and sustainable.

What follows is an excerpt from an email received from a client one year after the conclusion of 12 weeks of coaching with Laura...

"Hi Laura!

How are you? I hope everything else is well with you...I was just writing to give you an update. I made the move to DC a few weeks ago… Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you again for all you helped to open me up to. By understanding how energy works in my life, I feel so empowered to create the life I've always wanted...and that's exactly what I'm doing! I'm amazed by it everyday...

So, again Laura, thank you, thank you, thank you. I know I wouldn't be in this place in my life right now if I hadn't done the work I did with you. I wish you all of the best and many blessings.

Sincerely, Caroline"

"Laura is fantastic. She cuts to the root of what is holding you back but in a very gentle, spiritual, and yet scientifically rational way."
- David Angel Rodriguez, photographer, screenwriter.


"A little over a year ago I was in a state of befuddlement. I was in a dead end job and didn’t know what I wanted to do. I found Laura on the internet, and shortly after our four telephone sessions, my world was turned upside down by changes that led to me happily starting my own interior design business. Today, despite the economy, and with the continual aid of spiritual exercises that Laura taught me, I have enough work to keep me busy, and also have time to pursue my side business as an artist. Laura helped open the spiritual and creative channels that led me to definitively knowing what I want, and how to pursue that. Having Laura as a coach was instrumental in my present success, and working with her was a delight! I would highly recommend her to anyone who would is in need of holistic guidance."
– Janis Luedke, Interior Designer


"Laura, you Coach and 'train' in a really fine balance. I got much more throughout our work together than I had expected! You were a kind of 'voice of inspired reason' for me. Your feedback was exceptional and I 'grabbed' hold of every bit of it as if they were gems coming through the phone line.You are fearless in your coaching."

Seeing our twelve sessions in overview, I feel more solid inside, I feel enriched. I feel the better for having had you as my coach. I have clearer direction and more willingness and joy in going those directions. Actually, in relation to your coaching Laura, I have clearly experienced real accelerated change.

Absolutely excellent coaching!"

- Diane Penketh, Spiritual Coach, New Zealand


"Laura is a very loving and intuitively brilliant personality. With her guidance we were able to accomplish everything that needed to be accomplished, exceeding my expectations. She has an intuitive flexibility and an undeniable intelligence. Laura is also a very warm person. Even though we have never met before, I felt I was speaking to a close friend whom I have known for a long time. In truth my greatest highlight of the week was making that call to Laura. I am very grateful for her insight. I have come a long way on my journey and I have come to a better place that I have never known before."
– Sargent John R. Singer


"Laura is perceptive, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She identifies problems quickly and leads you to your own answers with skill and compassion. Laura’s integrity and intuition is outstanding. I highly recommend her."
- Donna B., Occupational Therapist


"Laura’s insights and coaching have been extraordinarily helpful to me. Specifically, she gave me exercises and meditations that made it easier to hear my inner voice and trust my intuition.  Laura’s guidance, particularly as it relates to complicated business relationships, has been instrumental in helping me recognize which relationships are worth developing and which need to be terminated.  If you want help staying on – or getting on course – Laura Svolos is the person to help you do it."
- Rob Sullivan, Author, Getting Your Foot in the Door When You Don’t Have a Leg to Stand On (McGraw-Hill).


"Coaching exceeded my expectations—I never dreamed I would find a spiritual mentor in this process. I feel calmer (less desperate, less frantic) about the ups and downs of my energy and motivation—more accepting of the divine aspects of my limits. I am less frightened than I was before coaching. Laura is wonderful!!!  I miss her!"
– Dr. Rebecca Burns-Hoffman


"I liked the balance of practical, “real world” advice with the esoteric assignments like mantras and affirmations. I was always disappointed to get off the phone, because I loved hearing Laura’s confidence and knowingness. I hope to work with her again."
– Chad Nielson, Marketing Executive


"I work in a high-pressure political environment and constantly felt overwhelmed and dissatisfied, but at the same time there was no other career I wanted more.  That was a constant struggle that left me depressed and angry.  What Laura helped me do was change my attitude instead of my job.  With her assistance, I was finally able to revise my expectations of what my job was supposed to be in my life. As a result of this dramatic shift, I am happier and more successful at work than I have been in my 20-year career.  I honestly never thought I could be this content at work – I will be forever grateful to Laura for her skillful guidance and insights.”
– Ashley, Public Affairs Vice President


"Having a life coach has been a blessing in my life. Before I decided to get a life coach I felt like I was lost and trying to find a sense of direction in my life. Laura has helped me to identify what I really want to do in my life and has helped me to begin to take the steps to get there. I still have a long way to go, but, now I feel that I have goals and I am moving in the right direction. I am so thankful that I found Laura who has given me hope and encouragement since the first time we spoke with each other. For this I will be eternally grateful.” 
– Debbie, Rhode Island


"Working with Laura was always the highlight of my week. She takes a very holistic and practical approach to her coaching. She was terrific at helping me identify areas that needed improvement including physical, emotional, spiritual, professional and personal. She would outline specific action steps to address each of those areas and if something wasn't working for me, she was able to offer alternatives until we found the right solution for me. She always had other resources to recommend that supplemented the work we did together. She is very intuitive, and I learned so much from her wisdom."
- Nancy, Human Resources Executive


"Laura taught me invaluable lessons about awareness! I feel empowered in a way I never knew was possible. I have also been experiencing a joy in ways I never knew was possible. I plan to work with Laura again in the near future!"
- Maryann, Atlanta, GA
