Nice to meet you, I'm Laura.
I call myself a Creative Human.
Steeped in metamodernist philosophy, archetypal myths, therapeutic art, and educational design, I bring my creative orientation into the world to help amplify the spirit of those with whom I work. Understanding your place in the cosmos of online education and developing the internal and external structures to catalyze the change you truly desire to make can be overwhelming.
Creativity is more than painting or dance. It is the act of communicating the truth at the core of you and witnessing it resonate with others. This is deep, earnest, vulnerable work… and I am here for it.
I truly believe that living a creative life, in ways large and small, connects you with the essence of what it is to be fully expressed as a human. Using whatever you've been handed and making of it something useful (for yourself and for the world)… that’s literally the definition of creativity.
SEEING THE UNSEEN
One mentor of mine put it simply... "You SEE people."
Photography, energy, intuition, intention, creative coaching... all of it summed up so succinctly. Seeing the essence of the person in front of me.
Yep, that's pretty much it. I see people. I see their essence, the thing they long to be, that they long to create. Beyond all the obstacles, excuses, hurts, fears, missteps, wrong turns, and ughs. I see who you truly are and help you communicate that to the world.
That's where it always starts.
CREATING SPACE
When was the last time you hear music that was all the notes at the same time? Nope. Music happens as much with the notes played as the space between the notes.
That's what I do with you. Create space to hear the music.
I believe that we are our best selves when we are connected to our creativity and sharing it with the world. This little corner of the internet is me sharing my gifts and offering you the encouragement and opportunity to do the same.
No matter your creative gift or medium my aim is to encourage, inspire, and guide you into your most creative self— out-loud, in the world.

Update: recently welcomed Bonnie + Clyde to the family… bringing the grand total to four. That’s sixteen legs in case anyone is counting.
