Hey, I’m Lara.
A certified Consciousness Coach, Positive Psychology and NLP Practitioner, with nine years of experience across coaching, people and culture, executive recruitment, and consulting in Australia, the UK, and Europe.
In my late 20s, I had a realisation that changed everything. I realised I had been living on autopilot—operating from my head, not my heart. Everything I had done in my career to date had been because it made sense, not because it was what I truly wanted.
Stuck in the endless 9-5 hamster wheel, I felt disconnected, unfulfilled, and far from reaching my full potential. Once I saw this, I couldn't unsee it. And my quest for purpose began.
During my studies at the University of Melbourne, I discovered positive psychology, and I was captivated by its transformative potential. Exploring questions like, What enables us to thrive? How do we harness our strengths to reach our highest potential? was exhilarating. I realised that with the right tools and mindset, we can not only achieve what we dream of but often even more. And we can be so much happier whilst we do it!
And that’s how my Conscious Career Coaching Method and SHEThrives was born. These tools and processes are a heart-felt amalgamation of everything I've learnt from books, studies and my very own experience changing careers twice.
Through my work, I’ve had the privilege of coaching over one hundred individuals to transform their work lives, enabling them to tap into their untapped power and potential. I’m particularly passionate about helping women unlock their true strengths, so they can build careers that align with their authentic selves and live with purpose and passion.
Together, we’ll break down the walls of self doubt, uncover your unique strengths, and create a path that leads you to a career and life that feel truly aligned and fulfilling!
My Approach.
I believe that true career fulfilment begins with a deep understanding of who you are at your core. My approach to coaching is holistic, blending the best of science, mindfulness, and practicality with a focus on sustainable growth. Each client’s journey is unique, and my process is tailored to delve deeply into both the inner and outer aspects of personal growth.
Through conscious coaching, I help you connect with your higher purpose and align your career with your authentic self. Drawing from my background in positive psychology and consciousness coaching, I prioritise goal setting, self belief, values alignment, and authentic personal branding, ensuring you achieve tangible results and lasting transformation.
Each session begins with a mindfulness practice, a conscious check in, breath work, or visualisation, to create a grounded space for growth. Together, we navigate challenges, clarify your purpose, and establish goals through a mix of introspection and actionable strategies. For those seeking to build a personal brand, we dive into your own unique voice as a thought leader, aligning your brand with your authentic self ( only once you have clarity on your career vision).
Using tools like Human Design, NLP, and strength based exercises, I help you overcome common challenges such as imposter syndrome and burnout while empowering you to embrace your unique strengths. This balanced approach ensures that your career is not just about achieving external goals, but about creating a life you’re excited to wake up to.
A life where work feels aligned, purposeful, and full of possibility.
My Mission.
My mission is to empower individuals to fully embrace their authentic selves in their work. I envision a world where people feel deeply aligned with their careers, recognise their worth, and understand their unique value. My goal is to equip my clients with the confidence, clarity, and tools they need to turn their dreams into reality—long after our work together ends.
From a young age, I was immersed in the world of caring professions. My parents—a doctor and a nurse—instilled in me the importance of helping others. But unlike us today, they didn’t have the privilege of choosing careers that truly resonated with them. Their paths were shaped by necessity and family expectations. The world has changed since then. Discovering coaching allowed me to honor their legacy in a new way—by guiding others toward careers that foster self-discovery, empowerment, and true professional fulfilment.
My purpose is to help people break free from limitations and create careers that reflect their true selves—so they can live and work with intention, joy, and purpose.
Through coaching, I aim to shift the way we see work, moving beyond the idea of “just a job” to something deeply meaningful and aligned with each person’s unique strengths and aspirations.
What my cherished clients have to say...

Head of People, Netherlands
I feel that working with Lara is more than a typical ‘career coaching’ program you can find out there. Her approach consists of getting the basics right, but also most importantly, deep diving into who you are as a person; what are your strengths, identify those internal blockers & start breaking those patterns. Might not always be easy, but she will always support you!

Head of HR, Czech Republic
This programme is a lifesaver for anyone uncertain about their next career move, especially when self-esteem isn’t at its peak. Initially, I had no idea it would be this impactful, but now I’m confident about my future direction. The most valuable lesson from Lara is this: never compromise on your true passions and inner desires. And with all my scepticism I can confirm this programme works!

Joanne, DEI Leader, Amsterdam
Working with Lara really helped me to understand how I can work toward my goals. There has been many eye opening events and visions on what life I want to create for myself. During my coaching time I learned so much and was brave enough to make some life changing decisions! I’ve always looked forward to my next coaching session with Lara, it was like catching up with a friend, telling her what has happened recently! Thank you so much Lara!

Lara was amazing and I really couldn't recommend her more. I have so much more clarity and confidence in my overall career trajectory. Lara really has an ability to dig deep into the crux of any challenges, and has set me up to be more self-reflective moving forward. Thanks so much Lara, can't wait to see where all of this takes me!
