Mission

The Soul Practice exists to help women and girls move out of survival mode and into a life that feels steadier, softer and deeply enjoyable.

Through breathwork and integrative coaching, I support nervous system health in a way that feels human, warm and life-enhancing.

This work is for anyone who wants to feel calmer, clearer and more connected — from women rebuilding after adversity, to those seeking more rest, creativity and ease. Modern life keeps us rushing, overthinking and numbing. Here, we do the opposite: we slow down, breathe, reconnect and remember what it feels like to inhabit a body that feels safe and supportive.

The Soul Practice is a gentle, grounded space to unwind, integrate and grow. Income from private clients enables funded support for girls and women who otherwise wouldn’t reach this kind of care, making the work social in purpose as well as personal.

Healing here isn’t about perfection. It’s about coming home - to your breath, your body, your joy, and your life.

Meet Laura

Laura is a former public health advisor with a background in biomedical science and somatic healing. After more than a decade shaping policy in the UK health system, she saw clearly that while medicine treats disease, it rarely addresses the stress, trauma and emotional overload that shape everyday life.

She grew up around illness and anxiety, surviving family collapse and sexual abuse. Years of coping in silence eventually pushed her to rebuild her life from the inside out. Breathwork, somatic practice, trauma education and compassionate inquiry became the foundation of her recovery.

Today, she integrates science, lived experience and compassionate coaching to help women and girls feel safe in their bodies, steady in themselves and free to shape lives they love. Her approach is gentle, grounded and deeply human.

  • “I have gone to quite a few of these sessions now and each time has been absolutely brilliant and now my children’s have joined in and love them. They are amazing way to reset yourself and let go of all negativity/toxic emotions you hold in your body. I’ve been going through the most difficult year ever had (going through a high conflict divorce) and have seen such a difference on how I feel after doing a session and how much it’s help me as well seeing such a difference for myself children to be able to let go regulate their emotions during this difficult year and wait for their therapy slots to become available. Laura creates such a beautiful, peaceful, and safe environment that can truly be yourself and reset. Would highly recommend giving it a try!”

  • “Laura delivered a powerful breathwork workshop at our day retreat. She made sure all the guests were settled in and feeling comfortable, and guided the room through a 90 minute session with grace, patience and compassion. Guests left feeling relaxed, connected and more whole. I’ll definitely be inviting Laura to run workshops for us again in future, and I’d recommend her to anyone organising a wellbeing event.”
