Hello
I’m Laura, an Italian expat who has made Brussels her home since 2015, captivated by the city's charm and ever-changing personality!
Since 2022, I've been on a fulfilling journey to become a life coach—a profession that seamlessly blends together my passion for helping people with my love for learning about the mind.
My Story
Before stepping into coaching, my path led me through the dynamic world of NGOs in Brussels' EU bubble. While rewarding, it never quite felt like my true calling. Something was missing, and I often found myself feeling lost, overwhelmed and uncertain about my identity and desires.
In the quest to find my place in Brussels' political landscape, I pushed hard to make the most of my choices, even when they didn't resonate with the authentic me. Despite my efforts, doubts persisted, and I felt increasingly out of sync, eventually leading to two burnouts.
These burnouts became my wake-up call, urging me to prioritize self-discovery and healing. I made the decision to listen to my intuition, embarking on a complete life overhaul. I sought a career that would nurture my interests, adapt to my lifestyle and needs and allow me to have a meaningful impact on others' lives.
My mission is now clear: to empower you with the confidence and strength to lead a life that brings you joy and pride, a life filled with energy, that moves with your rhythm and that inspires you to grow!
What you can expect from me
Curiosity: I love learning and I am always looking for the next course or book to update my skills!
Creativity: Life coaching isn't one-size-fits-all. My creative approach ensures that our sessions are dynamic, engaging and tailored, to inspire innovative solutions for your challenges.
Empathy: My empathic approach creates a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Open-Mindedness: In our sessions, there's no room for judgment. I approach every individual with an open mind. Your uniqueness is celebrated, and together we'll explore the possibilities that align with your personal journey.

Active Listening: Your story matters, and I'm here to listen attentively. Through active listening, I identify unspoken needs and priorities, ensuring our sessions are tailored to your preferences and goals.
Life Coaching
What's a session like?
A session lasts an hour and it is adapted to the client, based on the progress made so far and what tools we are currently using.
How does it work?
-
We start with a temperature check, seeing how you are doing. Then, we move on to the topic or goal of the day and recap items and action points from a previous session.
-
The next step is the fun part, the area of opportunity. We explore the areas where you may be struggling or feel stuck: through exercises and gentle questions we work to uncover your potential and the tools needed to succeed!
-
We break down the blockage in small and manageable steps, to make it easier for you to succeed and to measure your progress.
-
Lastly, we close off the session focusing on the progress achieved so far and on the next steps. To keep you motivated and engaged, we can agree on some tasks to put in place before the next session.
Methods
I like to include practical exercises, to help you think creatively, and to challenge you with tasks and prompts. If you are game, we can use tools like tarot cards, drawings, symbolic coaching and more physical exercises to stimulate new ideas and approaches. If you feel like taking some exercises home with you, I can suggest some homework to speed up the thought process or invite reflection.
We can adapt the sessions to your needs and have fun with more creative and out-of-the -box ideas. I am open to your feedback and requests and will do my best to make the sessions fit to your preferences.
