You're holding everything together.
And it's costing you everything.
For capable, high-functioning women who are exhausted in a way they can't explain — and ready to finally stop carrying it all.
Reiki Certified — All 3 Levels · Intuitive Medium & Mentor Since 2020
You can't figure out why you feel this way —
when nothing is technically wrong.
- You're capable, high-functioning, and getting it all done — and still feel utterly depleted.
- You feel unseen, even though everyone relies on you. Managing everyone's world but your own.
- You can't turn your mind off, even when things are going fine.
- You've tried therapy, journaling, courses — lots of insight, nothing actually changes.
- You keep overgiving in relationships and end up resentful or invisible.
- You're tired of explaining yourself just to feel understood.
- You know you're meant for more peace, but can't stop managing everyone else's happiness.
You're not broken. You're burned out because you've been carrying everyone else's load. You deserve to finally put it down.
Most support asks you to perform your healing.
Talk more. Explain more. Rehash more. For chronic over-functioners, that just becomes another responsibility — another thing to show up for, do right, and manage.
That's not healing. That's more of the same.
In my sessions, you finally get to be in the receiving seat.
Root cause
Using intuitive insight, I can receive what you're struggling with, where these patterns come from, and why they formed — without you having to explain or justify yourself. For many women, it's the first time someone has clearly named what they've been feeling.
Real integration
Awareness without integration means nothing. You'll leave each session with personalized next steps to practice in real time — in your relationships, choices, and boundaries.
The mediumship
The things you don't talk about. Can't see for yourself. Don't have language for yet. The mediumship brings those things to the surface — with care, not performance.
Divinely guided
Every session is guided intuitively — tailored to your life, your patterns, your soul. Not a generic method applied from the outside in.
"One session with Laurie was more beneficial for me than 10 years of therapy." — Kim G.
I reached the top of everything I'd worked for —
and felt absolutely nothing.
I spent six years building toward a dream I'd had since childhood — becoming a professional chef. In my first year of culinary school, a speaker mentioned winning a Top 30 Under 30 award for best chefs in Ontario. That was it. The goal was set.
In 2018, at 24 years old, I made that list. And I felt empty.
At the same time, my mom's cancer treatment had stopped working. I was commuting 80+ minutes a day, working 12-hour shifts, running on fumes. Then one night I rear-ended a car at a gas station. My mom picked up my frantic call and said quietly: "Laurie, when are you going to listen to the universe trying to tell you to slow down?"
$1,500 out of pocket later, I sat down on my meditation cushion. What I found there changed everything — images and messages I couldn't explain. Details about my mom's childhood bedroom. Things I had no way of knowing.
I didn't run from it. I ran toward it. I joined a mediumship group, completed all three levels of Reiki, and became obsessed with one question: how did I become who I am — and how do I unbecome it?
When COVID closed the kitchens in 2020, I started giving readings over Zoom for free. Two months later I was hired by my mentor. Two weeks after that, I left a six-year relationship, my mom was hospitalized, and I was packing a moving truck in full identity crisis on my boss's spare bedroom floor.
My mom passed away in June 2021. Days later I was evicted. I moved to a new city — less than a kilometre from the man who is now my husband — and was connected to people who became like family, to friends, and people who I still work with to this day.
God dismantled my life so I could build a better one. My mom helped from the other side. I now have a deep, unshakeable trust in things falling apart to fall together — which is exactly why I can hold space for you when you're in the messy middle of it. I'm not guiding you from theory. I'm guiding you from the other side of it.
Women who were exactly where you are — and what happened next.
"When I first started working with Laurie, I was in a rough patch emotionally. She pinpointed experiences from my childhood and validated the severity of what I went through — something that had been minimized my whole life. I felt seen, heard, and had tangible steps to work with. I began to accept and love my past, and to trust the process."— Ashley O.
"In every conversation with Laurie, I've felt safe and understood. She provides a level of insight into my life and behaviours that no one before has. I think everyone could benefit from sessions with Laurie."— Michelle Cheddie, Mentorship Client
"I had big realizations that I had chosen the happiness of others over myself. I've now been making decisions far more aligned with my own happiness and purpose. More helpful than traditional therapy."— Rachel K.
"Taking the Surrender course was one of the best decisions I've made. I learned to trust in the Divine, developed self-love, and the confidence to trust my intuition."— Kelly Hudson, Mentorship Client
"Laurie helped guide me through a very difficult time. Her patience and knowledge helped me get to the other side and start healing. I count her as one of my greatest supports."— Tera Moon, Mentorship Client

Everything you're wondering but haven't asked yet.
Therapy is valuable — but for chronic over-functioners, talking more can feel like just another responsibility. My work doesn't ask you to perform your healing or explain yourself into exhaustion. Using intuitive insight, I can often see what you're carrying and where it comes from without you having to justify or narrate it. Many women describe it as the first time they've truly felt seen. We then focus on real-life integration so the insight actually changes your day-to-day — not just your self-awareness.
Completely reasonable. You don't have to believe in anything for this work to land. Many of my clients come in skeptical and leave having experienced something they can't fully explain — but that shifted something real. The focus is always on you: your patterns, your life, your clarity. The intuitive element simply allows us to get there faster and deeper.
That's exactly when this work is most useful. I built this practice in the middle of losing my mom, leaving a relationship, and being evicted — all at once. I know what the messy middle feels like from the inside. You don't need to be in a stable place to begin. You just need to be ready to stop white-knuckling it alone.
Sessions are held via Google Meet and run 60 minutes. I tune in intuitively before or at the start of each call — so I often arrive with insight already, and we're not spending the hour catching up. We'll move through what's present for you, what's underneath it, and what needs to shift. You'll leave with specific next steps, not just things to think about.
Many women notice a shift after a single session — something named that they couldn't name before. The 3-month container is designed for lasting change: the kind that sticks in your relationships, boundaries, and how you move through your life. Real integration takes time, which is why ongoing support is built in.
Start with the single clarity session. It gives you a real experience of the work — and from there, you'll know. Many women book one session and move into the mentorship shortly after. No pressure either way.
You already know
something needs to change.
You don't need more information. You need someone who can see what you're carrying — without you having to explain it — and help you finally set it down.
