🦋🦋🦋🦋Midlife asked me to burn down who I thought I was. I'm glad I listened.🦋🦋🦋🦋
🦋This is a longer post. Please take them time with it, or make yourself a cup of tea and stay with me!
🦋I am offering 3 discounted spots for one-on-one Somatic Experiencing sessions for midlife women.
Somatic Experiencing is a gentle, body-based approach to healing that works with your nervous system rather than against it.
Sessions are €40 each. 🦋
🦋A note on pricing: I believe therapeutic work should be accessible to everyone. Healing has historically been a privilege of wealth, and that doesn't sit comfortably with me. I am also rebuilding my practice after caring for my father, and returning to work at a rhythm that feels , paced, kind and sustainable.
🦋My work is dedicated to midlife women who want to navigate this season of life in a dignified, liberating and empowering way so they can radically embrace themselves and the natural wild intelligence and wisdom of this life cycle.
🦋I talk to many courageous women navigating the challenges of midlife. Many are burdened by tasks, to-do lists, and responsibilities, barely keeping their heads above water.
Some are caring for an ageing parent or their children and can't stick to a healthy routine. Some are also dealing with chronic illness. Others are coming to terms with not becoming mothers in this lifetime. Many are re-evaluating their lives, and for some, midlife feels like the end of everything familiar.
🦋I have also explored the deeper parts of myself and experienced a dark night of the soul as I began my own menopausal journey.
Most of the women I speak to need to slow down, stop the addiction to being busy, and trust the process of being in the unknown. They are cultivating a different kind of fire, one that needs to be tended to inside, rather than acted out in ways that lead to burnout. From this place, new gifts will be offered to the world.
🦋These spots may be a wonderful opportunity for you if you:
✦ want a new, empowering, and uplifting perspective on midlife
✦ are ready to stop being overly nice, criticising yourself, putting others first, and striving for perfection
✦ want to let go of guilt and shame and welcome the parts of yourself that feel rejected, abandoned, or numb
✦ want to feel more at home in your body, follow your natural rhythms, and spend less time overthinking
✦ want to share your unique gifts with the world in a balanced way, without feeling drained
✦ wish to trust your inner guidance and instincts without apology✦ are ready to let go of feeling like a victim and take more responsibility for your life
✦ are open and curious about using somatic practices, movement, voice, and ritual to explore these areas
🦋Women understand how important it is to accept themselves and allow their own transformation. Some have even told me that taking care of themselves feels like a matter of life and death.
The women I talk to often say they want to be seen, validated, and supported, to break free from old patterns. They also long for togetherness, companionship, and a chance to share their midlife experiences with others who truly understand.
🦋I would be honoured to support you and walk with you on this journey.
🦋If it feels right for you, I can also include voice work and Emotional Freedom Technique in our sessions.
🦋I invite you to see this stage of life as a sacred initiation and to deepen your connection with your own inner wisdom.
💬 Sessions are available in English, Spanish, and Italian.
Only 3 spots are available, offered at a significantly reduced rate for this two-week window only.

💛 Here is what one of my clients shared after our work together:
"Somatic experiencing has been transformative for me, and I put that down to Laura's skills and guidance. Her warmth, understanding, and clear explanations when exploring sensation in the body were immensely helpful during a truly terrible time in my life.
I came to Laura with severe chronic fatigue syndrome triggered by long covid, alongside extreme financial instability, which made it very hard to find safety in my body.
Laura created a safe container for me to share and explore. She went at my pace, and when I felt overwhelmed, we slowed right down. My healing was gentle and quiet, but no less transformative, a pleasant surprise as I'd been apprehensive about big emotional releases.
Things that had previously triggered old wounds were now much easier to deal with. I found clarity and calm in situations that would have previously led to shutdown. I also feel our sessions were a major contributor to my ongoing recovery from long covid and CFS.
I would recommend Laura to anyone. For me, this has been one of the most healing modalities I've ever experienced, truly life changing."
