nice to meet you, i’m laia :)

I guide beautiful humans (like you) to live life more joyfully, more authentically, more juicyly, and as empowered as can be.

I’m committed to supporting you in your journey towards feeling your best- in your mind, in your body, in the moment.

 

 My Story

For years, I was searching for happiness. I looked everywhere I could for a glimpse of joy— what was it? how could I experience it? I felt like I was wasting my life and was oh so completely directionless. I felt trapped, and I didn’t know where to go. So I started with myself.

I found joy by looking within. By getting to know myself, my body, my emotions. By connecting with myself, I started connecting with the world around me. I developed a deep empathy for nature, my relationships with others flourished, and I fostered a radiant smile that has never left my side since. 

Like any muscle, joy can be developed. We can work on it and help it grow, find tools that allow it to blossom, and daily practices that make it bloom.

My vision:  Creating so much inner joy, connection and empowerment that it starts to spill over and nourish all those beings, things, and people around you.

MY CORE VALUES

AUTHENTICITY

Stay true to myself, explore myself, show up as I am.

JOY

Extend as much joy through the world as possible.

COMMUNITY

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

LOVE

Lead with love, lead with an open heart. Show up with love.

MY PHILOSOPHY

Start with yourself. Regulate your nervous system. Discover what you love, what you like, what moves you, what doesn’t— and then let it expand out. Let it spread like an orange so juicy its dripping down your fingers, like a flower blooming so hard you just have to take the extra second to look at it, like the sun stopping you in your tracks to just feel, to see, to love, to care, to build, to serve, and to help.

Life is a beautiful journey.

Together, we can get you to a place of joy, expansion and open-hearted presence.

Let’s connect and see how I can best support you on your unique journey.
