Hey There,
It's so nice to meet you! My name's Lau, I'm a holistic nutritionist, a nervous system nerd, a communication coach & an energy medicine practitioner that's on a mission to help you break free (a.k.a rebel) from the unhelpful nervous system patterns that are keeping you stuck.
If you're ready to better support yourself through big emotions like stress, sadness, and anger, to speak your truth when it matters most, and to feel confident shining bright for everyone else to see -I'm here and so freaking excited to support you! :D
But what does that actually look like right? Well, it looks like me and you co-creating a new story for not just your mind, but also your heart, body, and your nervous system to live in.
It's a story in which you're the freaking main character that finally gets to shine your big beautiful light for everyone to see without feeling like your life or your emotional states require you to be in a constant state of apology.
The reason that I'm so passionate about what I do, is because I spent most of my life in a constant state of anxiety having to stay silent in order to survive.
Growing up in a highly dysfunctional home, I learned early on to make myself as small as possible. I was conditioned to believe that my needs rarely mattered and that I had to put my parents' needs (and pretty much everyone else's) first if I wanted to be happy.
For years, I felt like I was too much and not enough—all at the same time.
It was so exhausting to feel trapped in my own mind, paralyzed by fear of what might happen if I just spoke my truth.
I constantly felt like my emotions were spiralling out of control and I didn't have the tools to calm them down. But then, something horrible yet somehow perfectly magical happened. I hit rock bottom - Woot Woot lol
My Rock Bottom
After spending most of my life trying to fix and survive my family life, I ended up having a complete breakdown in every sense of the word and wound up spending a week in a crisis center barely holding onto life.
It was in that crisis center that I finally got help that I'd been asking for for my entire life. I found my true voice for the first time ever and used it more than I ever had before.
One day at a time I slowly started the process of healing not just my mind, but my nervous system from all the damage that it had been through.
Without the people and the amazing tools that I learned along the way, I wouldn't be here today.
And thanks to those tools, I now get help other women that are looking to heal their nervous systems and find their true voices to finally set their voices free! - which feels like the greatest gift I could ever ask for <3
My Professional Background
Long before my big breakdown, I'd been studying all that I possibly could about natural ways of healing our bodies from trauma as well as many other health challenges.
I started researching natural remedies when I was in late high school and I was really interested in nutrition and how we could use plants and food to help heal ourselves. After getting my deck in jazz voice and my bachelor's in theatre I went on to study holistic nutrition.
From there, I took endless courses about gut health, hormone health, immune health, and my favourite - nervous system health. I've also done extensive training in polyvagal theory, trauma recovery, and the neurobiology of trauma.
I've been lucky enough to work in as well as manage the supplements departments of some of Montreal's most well known health food stores such as TAU, Rachelle Bery and Biodor Produits Naturels.
And I've also had the chance to work with several e-com based supplements brands such as ShopCBD, Good Protein, and Queen of the Thrones which allowed me to learn and grow more than I could've ever imagined.
I'm so grateful for the endless opportunities that I've been given to learn all that I now know about natural health and healing the nervous system from the wounds we experience in this life - and I'm so grateful that I'll get to spend the rest of my life learning even more so that I can help you to find all the healing and happiness that you deserve too.
