🌟 Exciting News! 🌟

I’m thrilled to share that my sister is starting her journey as a personal relationship coach! She’s always had a knack for helping people build and nurture meaningful connections, and now she’s turning that passion into a career.

If you’re looking to improve your relationships or just need someone to talk to, she’s your go-to person. Her compassionate approach and insightful guidance will be a game-changer.

Join me in cheering her on and celebrating this new chapter! 🎉

Hello! I'm Vonny Lauren, a Certified Relationship Coach trained by Laura Doyle, the author of "The Empowered Wife."

I used to think love meant a 50/50 equal partnership, doing everything together, and having deep conversations about everything. When I first met my husband, that’s exactly how it felt. But somewhere along the journey, he withdrew, and I became stressed and unhappy. When things got challenging, I would lean in hard, and he would pull away.

It was painful and disconnecting. I was exhausted and started to resent his apathy.

Things changed after I was recommended "The Empowered Wife" book. Reading through those pages, I realised I wasn’t alone, and that there was a method to help me get my relationship back on track. I wanted in on all the respect, reconnection, and intimacy the author talked about!

I booked 10 sessions with a Coach, and it was a beautiful time of self-discovery. She made me feel validated and guided me to learn which skills to apply to which challenges. It was an incredibly transforming time.

Now, I’m thrilled to be able to share things have completely turned around in my home. I feel more in control of my life than ever before. I feel more in love than ever before. I look forward to my husband walking through the door each day. My emotions no longer dictate the outcome of my day. I choose intimacy over control as often as I can.

I have a clear vision for how I want to show up. I consciously step back and allow the men in my life to step into their masculinity, and I can embrace my authentic self without the stress of organising everything and everyone. I love applying the skills to my parenting and am so happy my home is now a light, safe space full of laughter and playfulness.

I’m so grateful that I was introduced to these skills! They have shown me an alternative to what I knew. It is my absolute pleasure to have Laura Doyle as my marriage mentor and to have been extensively trained by her as a Relationship Coach. Now, I am excited be able to help other women experience the transformation they desire!

New Year. NOT New Me.

Instead.

New appreciation for all the previous versions of myself.

New levels of understanding that every part of me needs more love and acceptance, especially the parts I am ashamed of.

New insights into the ways have abandoned myself in the past.

New ability to utilize those insights and build stronger.

New and improved vision and meaning behind my journey.

New and greater amount of gratitude for myself, family & life.

💥

I don't want to be new. The only reason I am here in this incredible position is because of who I have been.

My aim is to expand on another incredible year of wisdom, learnings, gains, and losses.

I am grateful for who I have been, who I am, and who I will become - because they are all as important and intertwined.

Don't discard who you have been.

The sooner you embrace yourself for exactly who you are right now (even more important if you are unhappy with where you are), the better it all becomes.

This I absolutely promise you because it happened to me.

If you have made it this far (THANKS) and if you are interested in working with me, I would love to talk. Free connection chat is available.

My darling Candice has suggested that we donate her Barbie collection to a little girl her age who might not receive presents this Christmas.

The Barbie house was passed on to her by family, so only fitting we do the same.

This is a wonderful set that we know will make some little girls dreams come true ✨️

If you know of a family who is deserving of this, let me know.

I can deliver this anywhere in the Matamata-Piako area.

Merry Christmas 🎄

Love Candy & Josie ❤️

Your body is not the problem.

The way you have been taught/programmed to veiw your body is the problem.

In my work, its my core mission to guide women - in acknowledging their beliefs, values, power & purpose.

I will expand your understanding of yourself & what you are capable of.

When you 'work' with me, you will develop the most wonderful vision.

A vision that will become the most magnificent obsession.

I teach in detail the ways I have developed my own internal resilience - which I strongly believe is what many of us could do with ALOT more of.

So many of us are pursuing happiness from external circumstances.

We will focus on nurturing the relationships around you and setting clear boundaries at the same time.

Helping you discover the magic of gratitude & self responsibility are a couple of my (many) superpowers.

I, ironically, teach you how to unlearn what you were taught that just doesn't give you life anymore.

Josie ✨️
