About me

Hello and welcome,
I’m Laure.
I’m a counsellor, a mindfulness teacher, a blogger, and a human being who has been through some things, just like you.

I’ve been there. I know how much it hurts to be human. I’ve been on my own healing journey. I believe everyone has their own path. Let me help you find your own.

My story

I grew up in a small village in France called Tonnerre, meaning Thunder in English. It was a beautiful place to be a child.

But behind closed doors, my childhood was hard. There was daily pressure, criticism, and a kind of pain that children absorb into their bodies when no one names it or makes it safe. I learned early on that standing up for myself wasn’t safe. So I made myself smaller instead. That’s how children survive.

I am a survivor of childhood trauma. And if you’re reading this, you might be too.

I did what many of us do. I shut down. I functioned. I got good at looking okay from the outside. And my mind forgot what happened until I was about 40…

But the body keeps the score. What we don’t remember and don’t process doesn’t disappear. It settles into patterns, into the nervous system, into the way we move through relationships and through our own minds. For me that looked like depression, a persistent low hum of anxiety, a sense of not being quite safe even when nothing was actually wrong, a nervous system that braced for impact before impact ever came.

I spent years searching for something I couldn’t quite name. Books, workshops, retreats… What I was looking for, I understand now, was emotional self-regulation, a nervous system that felt safe rather than threatened.

Around 40, after a lifetime of feeling like nothing would ever change, something finally did. Two years later I looked back and realized the depression had lifted. I started to feel what I can only describe as steadier. Less tormented by the ebbs and flows of daily life. More able to feel things fully without being swept away by them.

That steadiness, I worked hard for it. And it changed everything.

It also left me with something I didn’t expect: a deep desire to sit with other people in their searching. Not as someone who has arrived somewhere perfect. I still have fears, I still have moments, I am still very much human. But as someone who knows this terrain from the inside. Who has been in the dark and found a way through.

That’s why I became a counsellor.

Not because I studied it from a safe distance. Because I lived my way into it.
