Performance & life design coaching
for creatives, techies and other curious overthinkers (ADHDers included)

When your mind races ahead,
but your life feels like it’s lagging behind:

You care deeply.

People admire how much you can juggle.

You’re a walking idea machine.

But here’s the part you don’t say out loud:

✦ You’re too busy to slow down, but too tired to keep up.

✦ The work that once lit you up now feels like pressure.

✦ ‘I’ll do it later’ turns into ‘3 months later’.

✦ Your mind never stops, but your energy does…

You’ve built a successful life on grit and adrenaline, but now that strategy is running on fumes.

And sometimes… this quiet question keeps tugging at you:

Is this really how I want to live?

Why Life by Design works

✦ Insights you can trust

With a MSc in positive organizational psychology and a certification in solution-focused coaching, I can help you dismantle the hustle mindset and design environments and habits that support your energy rather than draining it. No fluff, all evidence-based.

✦ Nervous system integration

The body is often the missing piece for people who are brilliant at solving problems in their head, but can't think their way out of feeling wired. As a certified yoga teacher and somatic practitioner, I help you physically drop the tension you carry and then connect with your real needs and wishes. Learn in real time how to make decisions from a settled state instead of a clenched one.

✦ Flexible cadence

Do you need frequent check-ins to stay on track? Or maybe more space before you are ready to meet again and find new growth edges? You have total control over when to book the next 50-minute session on your Life by Design pass (1, 5 or 10 sessions). After all, life doesn't happen in neat intervals.

✦ Someone who gets it

Having enjoyed 6 years in global tech recruitment, I know how fast-paced, high-demand environments shape your attention. I also experienced a severe 3-year burnout after it, which gave me no choice but to redesign my true life’s balance and priorities. I also have ADHD, so you know I can help you set up creative systems that hold up when life gets busy.

What our coaching sessions look like

Drop in

We start by shifting out of mid-day reactivity. A quick somatic or breath check-in pulls you out of head-spin mode, so your mind and body can settle into the present moment, ready to think clearly.

💡

⚡️

Name the friction

We isolate and clarify the exact pressure point sitting on your chest today — whether it's an overflowing mental catalog, an exhausting boundary line, a decision you’ve been spinning on for weeks or the anticipation of a major life transition. Then, we focus on where you are today and the future you want to build toward.

🔥

Reclaim your power

You are the expert on your life. I merely help you navigate the terrain. Your own wisdom, capacity for wonder and sense of self are central to our work. Instead of spending weeks dissecting why you’re overwhelmed, we find the internal resources, past wins and personal strengths you already hold, so we can get to your destination. We treat every outcome (even the ones that don't go as planned) as valuable data.

Design your next step

Ultimately, we align your daily actions with what actually matters to you. You walk away ready to test in the wild a new impactful pivot around your own energy, values or rhythms. One manageable step in front of the other, tailored to how your brain works. No generic productivity rules, rigid advice or idealized routines here. We translate insights into action.

What clients say

  • “Laura coached me on several life and business topics, for 2 months. She was supportive and interactive and asked thoughtful, solution-oriented questions.

    In each session, I was able to to set clear objectives, aligned with my priorities. She created a wonderfully supportive and clear environment, that allowed me to map out practical solutions to several challenges I was facing.

    The solutions have had a measurable impact on my daily life.“

    — Andreea B.

  • “In our life design coaching sessions, Laura was super thoughtful and got straight to the bottom of my challenge in no time. What I like most is how she helped me find other moments where this didn’t feel so hard. That made the whole thing way more approachable. Through some good deepening questions, she helped me see for myself that I already have the power and ability to handle it, by building on the things that do work for me.

    It might sound a bit strange, but Laura helped me find my voice of reason and control over my challenge and steered me into designing simple steps I can take to help myself.

    Overall, she has a really beautiful way of asking questions. They help you find solutions that fit your own personality and character.”

    — Nando

  • “I found my coaching sessions with Laura very valuable. She quickly understood the context of my career experiences and challenges. She asked thoughtful questions that helped me better understand my own thought process and explore the different options available to me, as I consider my next career steps.

    While I still have some decisions to make, Laura helped me gain greater clarity about the possibilities ahead and gave me a useful framework for thinking through them.”

    — Melissa

  • “I had hoped to be coached on how to better prioritize several things that all felt critical and urgent, when in fact this was not the case. Laura always asked the right questions to get me thinking about how to remove mental and physical barriers, and take small steps forward.

    The experience was relaxed and suited my pace. It added insight as well as accountability, without a lot of pressure.

    Being reminded to rest so that I can find clarity, and how to timeblock better with prioritization really helped immensely.”

    — K.C.

  • “Laura has a wonderfully gentle, client-driven approach, she never pushes her own agenda, but she's incredibly generous in sharing her wealth of knowledge and experience when it's genuinely useful.

    She helped me map out exactly what I wanted to achieve in my job search, and just as importantly, how I wanted to present myself throughout the process. She also gave me thoughtful guidance around my burnout leave, which was outside the scope of our initial meetings but hugely appreciated.

    I came away with real clarity and a much stronger sense of direction. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, supportive guidance.“

    — Mihaela

  • “Before we started working together, my biggest challenge was making decisions about my relationship. I would spend a lot of time ruminating without reaching any real clarity or feeling that I was moving forward.

    Through our conversations, I began to realise that the issue might be deeper than the decision itself. I wasn’t always clear about what I truly wanted or how well I understood my own needs. The questions you asked helped me step outside of my usual mental compulsions.

    One of my main insights was that rumination was not bringing me closer to clarity. The visualisation exercises and paying attention to how certain thoughts and emotions felt in my body also helped me understand myself and my reactions more clearly.

    Thank you again for your support and for creating a space where I could examine my thought patterns from a different perspective.

    — Milad

  • “When I signed up for coaching with Laura, I was searching for more clarity and motivation to help me make progress in the right direction. I had plenty of ideas but found it hard to take action, and I was stuck in analysis paralysis.

    Through her clear, direct and on-point questions, Laura helped me unlock my own blockers and break my goals down into smaller actions that I could complete between sessions. Each one helped me see that progress was actually being made.

    The coaching helped me shift my mindset from taking no action to taking small, consistent steps. It also solidified the idea that even the smallest step counts as progress and deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated.”

    — Andreea T.

  • “I came in feeling overwhelmed trying to balance my current business with my dream of growing my future career.

    Through your powerful questions, I rediscovered that I've overcome similar challenges before, with patience and acceptance. I left feeling calmer, more confident and trusting that everything will fall into place at the right time. I'm grateful we explored my past. It reminded me of my own resilience.”

    — Fabienne
