Testimonials

“Before working with Laura, I thought I had to have my $#!* together – that I had to pick one thing that I was good at and stick to it. This has been a never ending battle for me and the reason I’ve jumped from one thing to another.

However, Laura’s incredible insight about multipotentiality gave me so much clarity and made me feel confident that I CAN do anything and everything I want to do, and there are so many ways my passions can come together. It was a huge A-HA moment for me.

Laura has this incredible warmth and nurturing way about her. She’s relatable and encouraging but also keeps it real. In our sessions, I felt comfortable being my authentic self and knew that I could talk about anything without judgement. I absolutely love Laura’s energy and passion for life! Her experiences and knowledge about the world and consciousness are inspiring.”

Candice Bagnall – Graphic Designer / Dance Teacher / Intuitive Coach / Woman’s Circle Facilitator

 

Before I worked with Laura I was so confused and paralyzed with too many decisions to make in terms of my career and general direction in life. I knew where I wanted to go but did not know where to even start and I did not know how to accept my multi-potentiality as a superpower.

Through the coaching series I discovered that a big part of my purpose is to help others set themselves free and that I receive my answers to my own questions by helping others find the answers to theirs. I felt like I had validation that I am working towards an end goal that has purpose and meaning, and I’d learnt to live life in the now and enjoy the process and journey without forcing things to happen. I’d also reached a new level of self-acceptance and confidence in my ability, knowing my experience does give me something I can offer others.

Laura knows just the right questions to ask so I can tap into the answers I need from within. She also has a great way of keeping me on track but not too strict like a sergeant — just a happy medium.

She listens and understands me but doesn’t pity me and still gently pushes me forward — which I really needed. I was also able to cut the procrastination crap and just get on with it, to stop making excuses and projecting things so far into the future that I don’t get on with the things in front of me. 

I now see my multi-potentiality is a superpower and I am taking a path not many people are travelling on but I am 100% entitled and allowed to take this path. This has been liberating, enlightening, empowering and my family have said they can see I have more clarity and confidence after coaching. 

I think anyone who has Laura as a coach in their life is so blessed! I know I am!

Vasti Krugel – Traveller / Digital Solutions Provider / Marketing Coach / Freedom Seeker


“Since my 12 week coaching series with Laura, I have much more clarity about what it is I really want as opposed to what I
think I want. Laura was wonderful to work with, very supportive, but also not getting caught up in my stories so she kept me moving me forward. I knew I was a multipotentialite, but with nobody to act as a sounding board, I wasn’t sure if I was just making it up as an excuse for constantly changing my mind.

Exploring my multipotentiality in our coaching sessions helped me to lighten up on myself and uncover ways to integrate my many different interests and talents, rather than feeling I had to give all of them up except one. This has helped me make decisions in my life that are supportive of who I really am instead of who I think I need to be.

Cherry Sewell – Dog Behavioural Specialist / Spiritual Teacher / Client Care Guru

 

“Working with Laura literally created ‘short cuts’ for me. After coaching with Laura, I had a lot more clarity to be able to step back and look at things from a whole different perspective. This was key for helping me move forward in the right direction. It would have taken me a long time to get to that vision on my own.

Laura’s massive experience earning an income in the online world is invaluable. It means she can give me suggestions and guidance on so many issues, ranging from very practical matters to much more profound “big picture” ideas and directions I want to take with my online business.  I think anyone who has her as a coach in their life is extremely fortunate.”

Amanda Wolf, Community Manager / Business English Teacher / Online Entrepreneur

 

“I was lucky enough to work with Laura and experience her brilliance first-hand when I hired her to speak and facilitate a workshop at Phuket Cleanse, the number one wellness retreat in Phuket, Thailand.

I was looking for an inspiring speaker, who could hold the attention of a room and engage our guests in a meaningful and deep discussion about their lives and this is exactly what I got with Laura. 

She took our guests through her GPS For The Soul process, which they found incredibly helpful and the feedback we received was glowing.  Much more than just inspiration and motivation, the guests were blown away by how they could apply the process to their own lives and begin to create meaningful change. 

Laura’s ability to be honest, vulnerable and connect with people made this workshop all the more powerful and I would recommend her to anyone.”

Samantha Thomas, Head Life Coach
Phuket Cleanse, Thailand
 

“Laura joined my team at a critical point — I was failing at building and managing a team in my online business and needed help.

She immediately went to work to build a much better system for sourcing, vetting, hiring and onboarding new team members and helped us grow from three to ten staff. Her role morphed to include team leadership, training our new staff, helping them to learn the ropes of working remotely, and being there as a leader whenever they felt lost, both emotionally and from a practical standpoint.

I could tell Laura was an A-Player soon after hiring her. She could see all the different aspects at play in a project, from the practical, financial, and human elements, and would prepare accordingly. This left me the space to do what I needed to — to be creative, build marketing campaigns and create new products.

If you’re looking to work with someone with high emotional intelligence, who is calm under pressure and has a broad understanding of how online business works, Laura is a great choice.”

Ever since I took up Kung Fu 3 months ago, I’ve Ever since I took up Kung Fu 3 months ago, I’ve traded my butter knife for a sword and bo staff as my weapons of choice first thing in the morning. Taking up martial arts at 40 is such a multipotentialite move but if you think it also sounds a bit “midlife crisisish”... well, you would be absolutely 100% bang on the money. This time last year I was in total crisis mode, struggling with severe pelvic pain and unable to function. The only exercise I could manage without triggering a flare up was walking. Now a year later I’m training at the Kung Fu Academy 5 hours a week and I find myself jumping out of bed in the morning to go swing my Taiji sword in the persimmon fields just for fun. So if this is what a midlife crisis feels like then bring it on, I say... 🌿⚔️ #WeaponsForBreakfast #KungFu #TaiChi #LifeCrisisInAction

✨ I snapped this pic while paying for my shoppin ✨ I snapped this pic while paying for my shopping at an unusual grocery store...✨ In August and September we spent a month housesitting in a rural area of the Central Coast where the nearest supermarket was 22kms away. The closest place to buy food was a 6kms drive where a woman affectionately referred to as “the rainbow lady” sold mostly locally grown fruit and veg at a roadside stall. Either you could swap things with your own produce or you could leave money in the letter box. It all worked on an honesty system. And if you didn’t have cash, you had to go down to the horse paddock and stand in the only square metre that had enough mobile phone reception to transfer money via internet banking while Joey the Cashier Horse watched on…#InDecemberIRemember #DecemberReflections2020 #HindsightIs2020 #Housesitting #RuralLife #CountryLife #HorsesOfInstagram #OnlineShopping #LocalSupermarket #TheMagicOfEverything #Multipotentialite #horses #horsepower #roadsidestall

Unbelievable generosity... In an interview with the ABC one woman explained the wheelbarrow campaign was all about sending love, support and gratitude to a much-loved neighbour."We say Australia is our 'Momma Country', the country that helped us to be where we are right now. Most of us benefit from Australian aid which builds health centres and hospitals, that's why we took this initiative so that we could at least do something at the community level, that's why we did this."This is how I want to remember 2020 ✨#InDecemberIRemember #DecemberReflections2020 #HindsightIs2020 #GiveHope #TheKindnessPandemic #HumansOfNewYork #PapuaNewGuinea #Vanuatu #GoodNeighbours #GivingBack #TheMagicOfEverything #Multipotentialite

✨ A WAY THAT I CONTRIBUTED TO THE WORLD AROUND M ✨ A WAY THAT I CONTRIBUTED TO THE WORLD AROUND ME ✨
When I first read today’s reflection prompt, I immediately scanned my brain for the causes I donated to or volunteered for this year. But actually I think the most important contribution I made in 2020 was helping to homeschool my niece during Australia’s lockdown via Skype. Every morning we worked through the poetry, music, reading and writing tasks set by her teacher.... and to spice things up I regularly changed my background to an image in a different city so we could chat about that country and culture and learn a bit of the language together. This photo was taken during our virtual adventure to Iran where we wrote poetry about the colour turquoise and learnt about Latin American butterflies 🦋🦋🦋 I wasn’t saving the world but I think I made it a brighter place for my niece who was missing her friends. And for my sister and her husband who were inundated with work and grateful for the help. Definitely not always easy to teach a 9 year old via web cam but these were beautiful, precious moments I spent with my niece and one of 2020’s many silver linings 🦋🦋🦋

✨ MY BIGGEST PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT IN 2020 ✨I ✨ MY BIGGEST PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT IN 2020 ✨I’m pretty stoked that when I looked at this reflection prompt as part of #InDecemberIRemember I thought to myself “Fark, how do I choose one?”Six months ago I was about to undergo major surgery because I couldn’t get out of bed for days at a time, the pain was so bad. But today, I’m honestly in the best health of my life (at 40!) Since May, I’ve completely overhauled my diet and lifestyle, gave up alcohol for several months and I’ve exercised regularly for the first time since my Les Mills love affair ended 15 years ago…
I learnt to cook, cured myself of an autoimmune condition using nothing but food and helped heal several other issues with my health in the process… I’ve also developed a regular meditation practice, eliminated my reliance on prescription medication and was able to cancel the surgery because I don’t feel like I need it anymore.
And the biggest achievement is I did it without any intervention - no pills, specialists, surgery, alternative treatments, expensive supplements, oils or fancy exercise equipment. Just me, my body, my mind and food...
Which is unbelievable for me because I’d lost so much hope earlier this year. I didn’t think any of this was possible and it honestly feels like magic. Best gift I’ve ever given myself... ✨🔮
