Why work with a Coach?
A Coach can help you upgrade your entire life...
Maybe that's pursuing a specific goal or dream...
Creating a life you're excited about...
Partnering with you to figure out what's keeping you stuck, or holding you back from your next level of growth...
​
Let's ask some of the amazing people I've worked with...
​
Why work with a Coach?
"It's hard to create a catalyst for change when you are a one person operation. Sometimes you are putting things off that you know you should be doing or you're unsure of how to get out of a rut. Coaching gave me clarity about which actions would push my business forward and get me new clients. Lauren held me accountable so I had to follow through on my tasks, and the simple action of doing the thing I said I'd do helped me feel confident in myself as an entrepreneur."
Liz V
"The value of coaching to me is that I always feel more powerful and I am braver than normal, because I know my coach has got my back. I don't have to go through everything alone. If I am scared I know someone is always there to find solutions with me."
Louisa M
"Coaching offered me the unique opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with someone who understands my individual strengths and weaknesses, and was equipped to help me make progress on achieving my goals."
Carrie O
"It's invaluable - having someone who is 100% in my corner and who is invested in helping me grow and learn (particularly in the early stages of starting a business) was so incredibly helpful. It's also great to have an outside perspective from someone who is willing to provide honest feedback and advice."
Gemma
"Coaching has been the safety net that makes me brave enough to jump, know that I don't have to get it "perfect" to have it be a success, and trust that I'll land softly if I miss my mark."
Brittany WS
"It was great to have someone that was on my side. And there were so many points where I felt stuck, and having someone that can zoom out and see the big picture helped me to push past areas where I had been standing in my own way. The accountability was a big point for me as well. Having actionable tasks to work on really helped me to move things forward."
Lucy G
"The value of coaching to me is the accountability that it brings which is hard to do for yourself, but more than that, it keeps me in a state of being slightly pushed and uncomfortable (in a good way) that helps me to propel forward even when it doesn't feel like I'm ready. The feedback for things like emails with clients and proposals and the ability to discuss different situations with my coach gave me confidence and clarity when I may have spent days or hours ruminating on it myself."
Rachael S
"I think that coaching is a valuable tool. It can help you trace a better path for you and your business. However, like every tool, you need to put the effort too. You can't assume that coaching will give you all the answers. Your coach's goals are to work with you to find the answers that best suit your needs. It is a great investment."
Andrea R
What it's like to work with me...
"Lauren's spirit was truly contagious! After every call, I always felt like I was in a better mental place than when we started.
I love her approach to balancing business with life and it has me looking at things differently moving forward!"
Lauren T
"Lauren has the ability to connect and communicate what gifts her client has but can’t see."
Jane G
"It was life-changing to feel seen and understood in an authentic way. It made it safe to share things that might otherwise be shameful and made it easy to accept tough truths because I knew it was coming from a safe place. Feeling as though Lauren wasn't pretending to be a certain way made it safe for me not to pretend. It was also profoundly impactful to have a holistic approach, seeing that my well-being as a person naturally affects the well-being of my business and vice versa."
Brittany WS
"Lauren brings compassion, empathy, fun, humor, the ability to "push" just enough. She has a great heart and I think that's super valuable, especially in the coaching space, as there are so many "in your face" type of people - and that doesn't work for everyone."
Laurie R
"Lauren's warm and friendly demeanor created an environment of safety and comfort, a sanctuary for an introvert like me. She guided me in self-care and anxiety management, teaching me the art of introspection and self-questioning in moments of doubt and fear. She also provided invaluable insights on client management, enhancing my skills in this crucial area. Every time I faced hard times in my business, and didn't know what to do, Lauren made me feel calm and relaxed. She showed me how to think differently, approach things in a new way, and manage my cloudy thoughts to create a clearer path."
Sofia D
"Lauren's biggest strength is her soothing honesty. I also knew that I had to deliver an honest answer because she could see through any BS and was going to call me out on it. She could give it to me straight and tell me hard things that maybe I don't want to hear but deliver it in a way that made me see it as something to work on and not fight against. I left our coaching calls feeling renewed with one more building block to work with.
Marisa D
"Working with coaches throughout my career journey, I've experienced some good and some not so great. But Lauren was different! She genuinely believes in your dreams and supports you every step of the way. She leads from the heart...which shows!"
Carrie O
"Lauren’s gentle approach, patience, ability to listen and provide guidance were a great combination. I realized I am not behind anyone, I am at my own rhythm. I have a better vision of why I do what I do."
Andrea R
"Lauren cares deeply and it resonated. She provided a sounding board for me to bounce ideas off of to ultimately guide me towards my end goal without being pushy or forceful. She probed when needed and pushed me to think BIG when I wasn't always wanting to. Lauren has a gift for putting people at ease and making them feel comfortable so they can open up and be vulnerable."
Faye L
"Working with Lauren helped me learn how to assess what projects are worth my time and energy, and how to approach negotiating them so that they do match my needs. I also learned how to break things down into smaller pieces. She asked me the right questions to get me to the root of my actual goals, which helped me feel less distracted by other “shiny objects”, more focused, and confident in the direction I set for myself."

Client Results
"I'm embracing a lifestyle centred on abundance, self-compassion, and a genuine curiosity about my own journey. I am liberating myself from the confines of societal expectations and shedding the weight of the "shoulds" that have limited me in the past. I've been making huge strides towards aspirations I once believed were unreachable, but are now becoming my reality."
Carri H
"I feel like a business owner! Before I was so shy to say that about myself, but I feel confident enough now to say yes, I do own a small business! Taking ownership of that title has been massive for me, and it was only possible after working with Lauren to take strategic actions and get the client work I needed."
Liz V
"Living with anxiety, I thought I could never do "networking" or run a successful business. Working with Lauren has changed that mindset. I realize now that my experiences shape the art and stories that I create, and that I can bring my whole genuine self to my business in a way that feels right to me. While taking those initial steps were nerve-wracking at first, embracing my playful side has propelled me to new client opportunities and helped me forge new connections within my local art community."
Stephanie L
"I now have the confidence and belief in myself that I can be a successful business owner and that I am a successful business owner."
Gemma
"I think one of my biggest takeaway was that I can be (and have to be myself) to be successful. Many things have shifted since I worked with Lauren. She gave me the strength to get in touch with people. She showed me, that my skill to keep in contact with people and get a real connection to them is not normal and it's actually an important skill to move forward. It changed everything for me."
Louisa M
"Lauren helped me change my mindset from scarcity to abundance mindset, how to price my work, and narrowing down WHO I am as a creative and WHAT I can do to help my clients business. I now have confidence in navigating through the ‘impostor syndrome’ monster that wants to take over my brain."
Gwen A
"I think a lot about how I'm slowly re-parenting myself, healing wounds from childhood, making shifts in my make-up. I realized through working with Lauren, and hearing a kinder voice consistently, that there's a better way and that the judgment is not as effective. It's not that serious. Life and all. There is no "right" decision, "right" career path, "right" whatever-it-is. There's the next step forward, and that's all I can really control. With more abundance mindset and trust, I'd like to think that I won't hold every next step in such a death-grip, and that I'll learn to let myself breathe and find some peace."
Carina W
"Lauren encouraged me to take the time to sift through the different things in my life and inspect how I felt about them. It helped guide me towards what I really enjoyed and create a business and personal life that feels much more fulfilling and authentic to myself. I am much more adept at listening to what I need from myself and figuring out solutions that are in line with both my personal and business priorities."
Torey B
"A lot has shifted for me! I am more confident in my creative skills now and have been put out of my comfort zone so many times that I have noticed a lot of internal growth."
Lauren T
"As a result of Coaching, I feel more focused, and better able to handle and adjust to uncertainty and changes in my creative journey. I have more confidence in my ability, and my potential to achieve what I want. I think the shift in mindset has been the most important because I don't spend time worrying about if I should be doing this work anymore, and more about the how."
Deanna N
"Lauren has a great sense of the right questions to ask to fuel thought and help you arrive at ideas to try. She helped me cut down on overthinking, I used to get stuck on things I wanted to be perfect. It was great to have her celebrate my wins and normalize the failures. Most importantly, being accountable to her kept me focused on taking action which is so helpful for a freelancer building her business from the ground up."
