We had the good fortune of connecting with Laura Livermore and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Laura, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I wanted to raise the vibration of the planet! But let me explain how I got there… I started my career in corporate, learning important leadership skills, but also leaving the day feeling stressed and overwhelmed. There came a point where I knew I was meant for something more fulfilling and less stressful, but I just didn’t know what that was yet. I started taking yoga classes that helped alleviate stress, gave me more confidence, focus and inspired me to live a healthier lifestyle. One day during savasana at the end of a sweaty yoga class, I got this clear download to do a yoga teacher training. The teacher training opened me to spirituality, personal development and manifestation. After working with a coach on my mindset, I started to experience so much healing, more joy, was less reactive and clear on what I wanted. I knew I had to help others that felt stuck and unfulfilled do the same!! I got certified in subconscious reprogramming, EFT Tapping and meditation to help as many women as possible to breakthrough mindset blocks and heal from stress and trauma, so they can confidently go after their big dreams and make the impact they’re destined for. My love of traveling, yoga, building connections and facilitating transformation inspired me to host international spiritual wellness retreats! I absolutely LOVE what I do and am so grateful for the journey that got me here!

What should our readers know about your business?
What I’ve realized is that entrepreneurship is a personal growth journey. It will push you to grow and expand beyond your comfort zone. You’ll bump up against fears of failing, of being judged, and feeling like an imposter. So it’s extremely helpful to have a coach or mentor there to help you breakthrough the struggle, empower you to keep going and show you how to reach success faster.

I’ve also learned that it’s super important to learn to trust your intuition rather than just listen to someone else’s guidance or try to copy someone else’s success. Because what works for 1 person, doesn’t always work for everyone. Following what feels right and authentic for YOU is key. And that’s why I use coaching techniques to help my clients find the answer themselves, to get out of their heads and into their BODIES, where they hold sacred wisdom.

I value and teach embodiment practices like meditation, yoga, breathwork and dance for this very reason. It shifts your energy, releases blockages and helps you become a clear channel to divine wisdom. My spiritual wellness retreats are also a powerful way for you to experience these transformational practices for a mind, body, soul reset.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Oh man there are so many! I learned a lot from reading books by Dr. Joe Dispenza, Abraham Hicks and Deepak Chopra. I’ve worked with and invested in amazing coaches and leaders in the personal development world like Amanda Frances @xoamandafrances, Jenay Rose @jenayroseofficial, and Andee Love @andeelove_. Each one of them has taught me something different, expanded me in new ways at different stages of my journey and inspired me to keep following my dreams. I am forever grateful for their teachings, love and support!
