  • I had an intense session just now with one of my coaches (yes, I have multiple coaches – coaches need coaching, too). I showed up to the call full of fear and anxiety. My body was so activated and practically screaming at me, "THE WORLD IS ON FIRE! Danger! We are not safe! Apocalypse!" 🔥 Whoooooo. Feelings have been INTENSE lately. Using the same embodiment methods I use with my clients, I went deep. I met my fear. I watched it take form in front of me. I listened to it. I gave it my love and compassion and empathy. And I felt it calm itself down. I felt my nervous system begin to soothe itself. It may feel like the world is burning down all around you right now. But YOU are not. The fact that you are reading this post on social media right now, lets me know that you are SAFE right now. Take a moment to notice that safety. No matter what stress and anxiety and fear you may be holding onto, around the election or anything else, I invite you to drop into your body. Put one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly. Take some deep breaths. Remind yourself that you are, in this very moment, safe and held inside your body. Send acceptance and compassion to your fear and anxiety. Remind it that, yes there may be things out there to worry about, but you are ok. Right here, right now, you are ok. Give yourself a hug. Give yourself pleasure. Do what you need to do this evening and this week to stay grounded in the safety (and pleasure!) of your body. I am sending you so so so much love. We've got this. Love always wins in the end. 💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ xo Laura

  • I pretty much feel like staring at a wall and rocking back and forth for the next week (or more). The election stress is GETTING TO ME, y'all. That plus a perfect storm of global pandemic + economic catastrophe + extreme political bullshit + mercury retrograde is pushing me and my nervous system to the LIMIT.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dealing with day-to-day stress is hard enough, but when the world feels like it does right now your system can go into trauma response. We are literally in a collective trauma situation right now, on several fronts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So first of all, BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF. Allow yourself to unplug and relax in a way that soothes you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some of my current self-soothing methods.... Turn OFF the news. Take a bubble bath. Read some delightful fiction (I just finished Alice Hoffman's Magic Lessons). Workout. Have a mini dance party. Scream into a pillow. Repeat as necessary.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to go deeper into nervous system regulation, feeling your own pleasure, and being so beautifully gentle with yourself even in this time of intensity, DM me. This is what I do with my coaching clients, and I have a couple of spaces left in 2020.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also invite you to grab my Self-Care Toolkit for some of my favorite practices that are really great at helping you move from anxiety to pleasure.

  • Life is too short to hate your body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your body is a TEMPLE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And that is something that I used to kind of roll my eyes at. You know, I thought it was a very "crunchy granola" thing to say. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But the older I get – and, frankly, the creakier my temple gets – the more I am learning to see it that way and TRULY understand what a gift and what a one of a kind beautiful creation my body is. And I only get one of them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So why, WHY WOULD YOU SPEND EVEN ONE SINGLE MOMENT HATING YOUR BODY?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is the vessel that carries you through life. It is the vessel that gives you giant belly laughs, it is the vessel that gives you amazing orgasmic pleasure, it is the vessel that carries babies and gives hugs and dances and swims and... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Name any beautiful experience that you have had and it was your body temple that held you through that experience. And she remembers every experience and she remembers every feeling and thought. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And so the more that you fill your body temple with beautiful loving thoughts, the more joyous and pleasurable and ecstatic experiences she will be able to give you, the more love and healing she will be able to experience with you and for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One thing that we have all witnessed this year is the fragility of life, as we are still in the midst of a pandemic with ungodly amounts of death around us and fear of sickness and death. You never know what is going to happen tomorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You are not guaranteed tomorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So let's not waste another single moment hating our bodies, k?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sound great in theory but impossible in real life? I hear you and I can help. DM me, girl.

  • You've had the power all along, Dorothy...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of the most amazing things about our bodies and our brains and our nervous systems is that we hold the most TREMENDOUS power of healing within ourselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We tend to look outward for so much. We read all the self-help books and we do try everything under the sun we can think of to solve our problems. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But the thing that gets overlooked and what is truly the most transformative for the vast majority of issues that people are facing is to GO WITHIN. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a candle on my altar that says, "Inquire within." Because that is where the magic is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is MAGIC in dropping into your sensations. Simply being aware of the sensations in your body allows them to move, allows them to transform, allows them to loosen their grip on your everyday life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you are dealing with, for example, massive anxiety... All you want to do is just push it away, push it away and get rid of it. That is the tendency of everyone, really, is to just push it away, shut it out, lock it in a box and try to ignore it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But what you REALLY need to do is FEEL it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Say, "Ok anxiety, where do you live in my body?" Take your awareness to that place and pay attention to it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Simply observing it can transform it. Observing it, accepting it, sending it love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you lock it up like a little beastie in a cage in the basement, it will just rattle the cage and scream and cry and continue to cause trouble. But if you pay these feelings the attention that they need, if you give them the compassion and the love that they need and the acceptance – unconditional love and acceptance – then they are able to calm down and they won't disrupt you constantly anymore.

  • THE SECRET TO CHANGING BODY HATE TO LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE? HINT: It's not complicated. 💕 It's bringing love and acceptance to your body. So often we hate on ourselves, we nitpick everything, we judge our bodies and our looks by what we see in the magazines and we can't bear to look at photos of ourselves. (HAVE BEEN THERE!) But what if I told you that’s actually a choice and a pattern that you can SHIFT? It's not your fault that you feel that way, first of all. The conditioning around this shit is POWERFUL and designed to keep us striving for unattainable standards. Our self-hate fuels entire industries (see also: The Patriarchy). But the way to start undoing this conditioning is to START. And it is so simple. HERE IS MY THREE STEP METHOD TO LOVING ANY PART OF YOUR BODY: 💕STEP 1. Bring your attention to whatever part of your body that you tend to focus on the most with your negative feelings, with your self-hate, with your shame. And I want you to bring your attention to it, directly to it. Take some deep breaths here. Just bring your attention to that part (WITHOUT JUDGEMENT). Drop your awareness right into that part. (For me, it has always been my tummy. Sometimes it is other places but definitely my belly.) Drop right into that. 💕STEP 2. Now give it acceptance. "I accept you just as you are. I see you. I feel you. You are here with me. You are an integral part of my body temple." 💕STEP 3. And now send that part love. As much as you can muster. Send any amount of authentic love to that part that you can. "I love you." And send your compassion to that part, too. Sound TOO simple? This is a practice that WILL transform you but it takes some dedication. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ KEEP READING IN THE COMMENTS....

  • THE KEY TO TRANSFORMING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE? Loving your body. I know, it sounds so simple, but it’s a REVOLUTIONARY practice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think about it. How much of your life do you spend hating your body? Glamour once did a survey and found that women have an average of 13 NEGATIVE BODY THOUGHTS every day. Some of the women surveyed said they have 50 or even a hundred of them. And 97 percent of women admitted to having AT LEAST ONE "I hate my body" moment per day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ NINETY. SEVEN. PERCENT. 😭⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That means basically all of us devote at least a moment hating our bodies every day. And probably lots more than just a moment if we are being honest.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Other than being a tragedy, why does that matter? What is the impact that hating your body has on your life?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I remember when I was in the top tier of the 97%. I spent more time shaming myself, critiquing every little thing about myself, and talking myself out of my dreams than actually LIVING them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I learned to truly love my body, even a FRACTION more than I had, I immediately had more energy, became more confident, and went after what I wanted.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Imagine if you were free from wasting this energy on hating your body. Imagine letting go of the mental warfare.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's a drain on your energy. And a drain on your confidence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you were able to channel that energy into loving your body, what would shift in your life?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You would be more CONFIDENT, more ALIVE, more FEARLESS, HAPPIER, more JOYFUL, more able to experience the crazy amounts of PLEASURE your body wants to give you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is so much richness waiting for you on the other side of body hate. So what are YOU waiting for?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you are ready to step into loving your body and the joys that await you, send me a DM! 🥰NOW IS THE TIME! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ xo Laura

  • It occured to me that a lot of us don't take the time for simple self-care moments because so many things, like just stopping to take some deep breaths, seem SO SIMPLE that they can't possibly have that much of an impact. If we don't have time to go ALL IN with our self-care rituals, we dismiss a million little 30-second opportunities to nurture ourselves.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BUT THEY DO HAVE AN IMPACT!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think of these things as TINY MIRACLES!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can do so much good for your mental, physical and emotional states by interjecting tiny moments of self-care.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Start right now with the easiest breathing exercise: put your hands on your heart and take a few nice long deep breaths – inhaling through your nose for 5-6 seconds, feeling your chest and tummy expand, holding it a moment, and then enjoying a long exhale through the mouth. Think about a quality or energy you want to embody today.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (I'll wait while you do that.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How nice was that? You have the power to make yourself feel better in SO MANY ways. And it adds up the more you do it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It helped me to get a little mindfulness reminder bell in the app store. When it goes off, I take anywhere from a few seconds to 15 minutes and listen to my body. Try it! I love you! 💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wakethematriarchy #smashthepatriarchy #jointherevolution #ownyoursexy #empowermentcoach #pleasurecoach #sexualitycoach #lifecoach #fiercewomen #empowerment #sistergoddess #loveyourself #feminist #selfcare #selfcarematters #selflove #selfpleasure #selfloveclub #radicalselflove #selfloveisyoursuperpower #personalgrowth #bekindtoyourself #loveyourself #effyourbodystandards #bodypositive #girlpower #likeagirl #riseup #thefutureisfemale

Your unique transmission is here for a reason and you never know who is listening and who needs your message.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You've got this. 🔥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PHOTO INFO // photographed in my NYC studio, HMU by @zuzubeauty⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wakethematriarchy #smashthepatriarchy #jointherevolution #ownyoursexy #empowermentcoach #pleasurecoach #sexualitycoach #lifecoach #fiercewomen #empowerment #sistergoddess #loveyourself #feminist #selfcare #selfcarematters #selflove #selfpleasure #selfloveclub #radicalselflove #selfloveisyoursuperpower #personalgrowth #bekindtoyourself #loveyourself #effyourbodystandards #bodypositive #girlpower #likeagirl #riseup #thefutureisfemale
  • This is me, as I am most days, at my studio desk (with the added bonus of Snapchat eyelashes 😜) telling you that I think you’re an incredible badass woman and you can do anything you set your mind to.

  • If you were anything like me when you were little, you were pretty well-behaved and rule-abiding. I hated getting "in trouble" so much so that once when I was in 5th grade I thought I could just hold my breath until I died rather than go back to school the next day and face punishment. True story.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Those of us like this – and I suspect there are SO MANY OF US LIKE THIS – have tended to need permission. We seek it out. We NEED permission. We CRAVE positive reinforcement. We feel stuck if we don't have one or both of those things.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's the curse of the "good girl." And it turns us into GROWN-ASS WOMEN who are conditioned to need permission and positive reinforcement and avoid negative repercussions at all costs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ AND THAT KEEPS US SMALL.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (Exactly how the patriarchy wants us.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So. FUCK THAT.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You do NOT need permission from anyone to chase your dreams. To do the thing. To eat the cupcake. To wear that dress. To feel pleasure. Whatever it is.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (I am sure it goes without saying, but I am not talking about CONSENT here. You one thousand percent need consent from other people to touch them. We know this by now, yes?)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you need help giving yourself permission, message me! There is a lot of work to be done internally to dismantle "good girl" conditioning, and this is one of the things I love to help women with through coaching, photo shoots (like shooting in the bomb ass shower scene pictured here) or a combo of both.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ xo Laura⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PHOTO INFO // the amazing @sariahmusicnow, photographed in my studio shower set

  • Y’all. I had a seriously rough week. Everything went wrong, including a broken a/c in the studio and a veritable comedy of errors getting it replaced. Today’s shoot with this lovely client and with @zuzubeauty was exactly what I needed to finish this week with joy!! 💕 Posted @withregram • @zuzubeauty I started my day working with @lauraboydnyc with this beautiful client! I love working with natural curls. Can’t wait to see the photos from this shoot! 😍 HMU x me.
