"Working with Laura really empowered me to not only create, but to refine, act on, and feel confident in my dream business. I felt truly supported by her guidance. The tools, lessons, & encouragement are timeless pieces I take forward with me in all business & creative endeavours.

Being an entrepreneur and working within my purpose and joys no longer feel like an insurmountable challenge!"

Lia K. - Herbalist and Outdoor Educator

I am just amazed at the knowledge I have gained this year. I remember in community year going in thinking this was something I just wanted to learn about in a structured environment. 

It has now transformed in to a lifelong career. I could have never imagined for myself. I am excited to keep learning and growing.

"Laura has a sharp business sense she has earned from lived experience, and she is attuned to where you are in your personal entrepreneurial journey from her many years of intimate herbal client work.

Her insights were immensely helpful as I was defining a clear focus not only for my business, but to do so in a way that was aligned with a higher vision for my life."
