looking for 1:1 support?

turning the gaze within

Go from confused, helpless, and alone to fully supported, empowered & crystal clear on how to heal dysfunctional family dynamics (Even when you’ve tried everything.)

as FEATURED In:

do any of these sound familiar?

  • Your parents did not give you the care and attention you needed to thrive. You know it’s held you back in life but you’re not sure how or what to do about it.

  • You have done a lot of work on yourself, including therapy and all the self-help books under the sun, but their strategies and behavior modification haven’t worked for you long-term.

  • Your inner critic runs the show no matter how much positive self-talk you throw at her, and imposter syndrome stops you from fulfilling your potential.

  • The people who are supposed to love you don’t seem to be on your side no matter how much you give or try to make them understand. Setting boundaries with them is either terrifying or exhausting or both.

If You Are:

  • feeling stuck and not understanding why

  • having trouble setting boundaries

  • feeling misunderstood and alone

  • sure your childhood has affected you but not sure how

  • looking for more joy in life

  • battling an inner critic who holds you back

  • tired of sabotaging yourself

  • dealing with dysfunctional family dynamics

IMAGINE WHAT LIFE WILL BE LIKE WHEN:

  • You set effective boundaries from a solid foundation of empowerment and self-worth (not a shaky scaffolding of self-help strategies that don’t take into account your trauma history and nervous system)

  • You let go of the belief that others have to change in order for your needs to be met. You gain the confidence and clarity to assess your relationships and see how well they serve your higher self and purpose for your life.

  • You experience meaningful self compassion and silence the inner critic who won’t let you relax. You tap into your intuition as a guiding system for what you need in every moment. You become your own best supporter instead of the one holding you back.

  • You’ve built a vision for your life which you now step into, no need for approval and no fear of reproach. You’ve cultivated the internal systems to meet challenges head on, regulate your emotions, and express them in ways that help you achieve your heart’s desires.

hello, I’m Laura

A survivor of childhood emotional abuse and neglect, I began seeking therapy at age 19. Due to lack of knowledge about the impact of childhood trauma, I never received the help I needed.

Doing my own research and education over the last 12 years, getting radically honest about my family dysfunction, and working with a trauma-informed coach, helped me heal immeasurably more than during talk therapy.

I trained as a coach with the only trauma-informed program in the world accredited by the ICF, and hold a degree from the University of Toronto where I studied psychology and mental health.

My book ‘It’s Not Your Fault’ is available now. It offers an antidote to “tough-love” with a more compassionate and empathetic approach to healing self-sabotage.

  • "ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I EVER MADE"

    “I had been seeing a psychologist for a few years without much success when I was lucky enough to find Laura on Instagram. I resonated deeply with a post and reached out for help. My health and relationships were intertwined in what seemed an endless downward spiral and I hadn’t heard anyone speak about dysfunctional families the way Laura does. Raw and true.

    After the first session I knew it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only is Laura a warm, caring and intuitive listener – the tools and awareness I received made an immediate and positive impact on a heartbreaking situation I have been stuck in for the past 7 years or so. I felt powerless and had lost hope. Laura has helped me find both.

    Over the years I have read many self-help books, listened to podcasts, and tried unsuccessfully to fix this situation on my own. Laura’s unique ability to help those struggling with a dysfunctional family or relationships and how to empower yourself is exceptional because she has been in the trenches, done the work, and come out the other side and you can feel that. She holds a genuine, non-judgemental and caring space that makes it easy to share and open up. Each session for me has been lightbulb moments, a shift in perception for chronic issues, with practical and real steps on how to move forward – you can start session 1 and watch the magic happen. Highly recommend.”

  • "BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS"

    “I had done a good deal of work before I started with Laura and understood a lot about the abuse I had endured but had a hard time taking practical steps that could help me in my daily life without falling back into old patterns. The weekly sessions were beyond my expectations. When I started them thinking they would help me not fall into my old patterns again, they actually did so much more than that. They really helped me from the very first one to drastically change my daily experiences in a huge way. Laura offered me unexpected tools that are so plentiful I can keep working with them for many years to come, whilst at the same time being very specific to my day to day life.

    What helped me tremendously is that this wasn't a therapy session but rather Laura was always able to take what I said and was feeling, comment on it in a clarifying way and give me tools to unbottle the next bottle neck I was struggling with. It was something I could actually feel the effects of almost immediately and she helped me stay on course by also advocating and making self compassion and concepts like ''reparanting'' something I could finally understand and work with.

    What I love is how our work together really focused on my daily life, professionally and privately, so I could feel tangible changes and feel very connected in the present, something that was missing for so long. Laura really also lets someone be themselves. Nothing is obligatory. She guides you to find your own way and encourages and helps you make the steps. And at the end of the sessions you have a whole toolbox you can keep on working with.”

  • "I FELT SEEN, HEARD, AND UNDERSTOOD""

    I came into Laura's program with some therapy experience. I was still lost, broken and in pain. At 40 years old, I was formally introduced to my inner self and I’m so grateful to Laura for introducing us.

    The work we accomplished together is priceless to me. I've tried other methods and got meager results. Laura's got that supercharged approach of a recovering trauma survivor. It's not clinical. It truly is a healing space.

    I felt truly seen, heard, and most importantly, understood. I tapped into my deepest purest self and feel more alive and secure. I'm so grateful to Laura for her help.

    Working on my relationship with self has helped the relationships around me and also helped me have the courage to walk away from relationships that ultimately harmed me. I am experiencing peace, stability, and emotional sobriety. I have carved out a clear sense of self.

    This program is unlike anything I've experienced. It's loving. It's gentle. It's honest. It's gentle hard work but the reward that awaits on the other side... it's rebirth. I'm alive. I have a sense of self, of worth. I feel equipped to protect my peace. For the first time in my life I can calmly say "No" trusting myself that it's the right thing to do. I can now identify and engage in healthy relationships.

  • "I KNEW I HAD FOUND MY SAFE HAVEN"

    From the first call to the subsequent 8 months of helping me navigate myself I knew this would be so very different than any other coaching I had ever done.

    There were many a-ha moments , a few tears (ok alot of tears), some laughter, and much growth on my journey.

    Most importantly, there was no judgement, no agenda, no giving me 'one size fits all’ solutions, and no hurrying me to reach prescribed 'milestones' . I knew I had found my safe haven.

    The why of it is quite simple. She saw me. One session after emotionally recounting much of my trauma she said softly, "Annie, I am sad that happened to you; no one should ever endure that. It is not your fault." And from that moment on she helped me peel back the layers and shed that cloak of shame, blame and fear.

    She helped me see that I am worthy, that I matter, how to stop dancing on the head of a pin people pleasing, and learn to embrace the wonderful, blissful, discovery of me.

    I will forever be grateful for your guidance and belief in the value of Annie.

  • This is my most high-touch, exclusive, transformational program with weekly video calls and additional daily access to me, plus my premium online course Confusion to Clarity.

    Your investment in yourself is $4997 for six months and $2997 for three months. Payment plans are available.

  • I understand how hard it can be to invest in yourself when you are used to putting yourself last. If you’re ready to get unstuck and let go of old patterns, you will need to stretch outside your comfort zone. Investing in your own growth may be the first step to doing that.

    If finances are a true barrier at this time, I lovingly hold space for you. However, I encourage you to ask yourself if this is another example of you putting your own needs on the backburner. And where that has gotten you so far.

  • Due to the nature of the program, there are no refunds. Please consider your investment carefully, and reach out if you have any questions.

FAQs

  • Your results are largely dependent on the commitment you make to your own growth. I will give you the tools you need to change your life; it’s up to you to use them. With that said, most of my clients begin to see tangible results after the first session.
