Work With Laura

Support for the parts of life that matter most.

Intimacy. Love. Pleasure. Power.
And the relationship you have with yourself.

Available online or in-person (Auckland, NZ).

If you’re feeling stuck in the same relational patterns, disconnected, or overwhelmed by intimacy or emotional dysregulation—this is a space to pause, understand, and work toward a new reality.

This work is designed to support:

  • Navigating complex or unfulfilling relationship dynamics

  • Rebuilding trust and confidence after rupture or loss

  • Exploring your sexual self with curiosity, not pressure

  • Understanding emotional patterns that shape how you love, communicate, and connect

  • Feeling more choiceful, present, and empowered in intimacy and daily life

  • Establishing a relationship with yourself that builds authentic confidence, vitality, and clarity

Through one-on-one sessions, we’ll work to understand the relational patterns keeping you stuck, and strengthen emotional regulation. Together, we’ll build practical, sustainable ways of relating—to yourself and others—that feel more secure, connected, and aligned with who you are.

Support that eases, uplifts, and moves you forward

This work is for you if you're…

  • Feeling disconnected from your partner—or craving deeper intimacy

  • Moving through a breakup or relationship transition

  • Struggling with sexual shame, anxiety, or numbness

  • Caught in patterns of people-pleasing, overthinking, or emotional shutdown

  • Exhausted in your relationship and unsure how to turn it around

  • Unsure how to ask for what you want—in intimacy or in life

  • Longing for more confidence, clarity, and ease in how you show up

Whether you’re partnered, single, exploring, or healing—somatic therapy supports nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and greater self-awareness. This work helps you understand your patterns, strengthen internal resources, and build the confidence to make choices that reflect your values and needs.

Clients often walk away feeling:

  • The ability to make choices from self-trust, rather than fear, patterns, or pressure

  • A stronger, more stable sense of self—especially in the context of relationships

  • Improved ability to regulate emotions and manage stress in real time

  • Greater clarity around needs, values, and boundaries

  • Tools to navigate intimacy and conflict with more confidence and less reactivity

  • Relief from shame, anxiety, or self-blame tied to past relational or sexual experiences

  • Renewed access to desire, pleasure, and agency in sex and emotional connection

What you’ll walk away with

This is a space to explore what’s present, feel supported, and build toward a version of intimacy that’s real—and yours.

Weaving the esoteric with the evidence-based.

What to expect

Insight can happen in an instant—lasting change happens over time. This work honours—and facilitates—both, using a whole-body, relational approach.

Together, we cultivate what I call an inner ecology of thriving—one that’s not just intellectualised, but felt and lived.

Sessions are collaborative, attuned to your needs, and guided at a pace that allows for real integration.

“Laura guides with such grace and strength. I felt fully met, like nothing was too much or too messy.”
