HER APPROACH TO SPIRITUAL COACHING
Laura 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.

What follows is an excerpt from an email received from a client one year after the conclusion of 12 weeks of spiritual 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"
