Do any of these challenges sound familiar? Clients often approach me saying:

  • I’m overwhelmed and don’t have time for myself
  • I wish I had more confidence in the path I’ve chosen
  • I want to feel fulfilled at work and at home

 

You don’t have to navigate these issues alone. Together, we’ll create a plan tailored to your values and goals, so you can thrive—not just survive. Schedule a call to get started. 

Individual Coaching

You are more powerful than you think

Often as a working woman, the barriers to thriving in a male-dominated environment seem overwhelming. As a professional coach, Lara can help you stop apologizing for being different and embrace the unique perspective which supports your own well-being and success.

Group Coaching

“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”- Aristotle

An ideal way to expand your knowledge and commit to personal goals that are meaningful to you is through group coaching. By meeting on a routine basis, individuals in the group will benefit from peer interaction and support, exchange of ideas and perspectives, and grow in their self-awareness as they work toward their personal goals.
