About Lara

A life shaped by loss, rebuilt through healing, and devoted to guiding others home to themselves.

My story begins before I ever took my first breath — in loss, abandonment, and a world that fractured before it began. I grew up in a home filled with hardship, emotional pain, and complex trauma, but from the earliest years, something inside me refused to collapse.
Something fought.

At thirteen, when most children are just discovering who they are, I was already reading psychology books, studying the mind, and searching for answers that life was not giving me. I wanted to understand everything — trauma, the brain, the inner worlds, the shadow, the reptilian mind, the emotional mind, the logical mind… the whole inner architecture that shapes how we love, suffer, survive, and awaken.

The mind became my compass.
Healing became my path.
And transformation became my life’s work.

Through years of inner work, therapy, alternative healing, and spiritual exploration, I learned how to rebuild myself — layer by layer, trauma by trauma, truth by truth. Because I’ve walked through so many forms of darkness myself, I understand trauma deeply and intuitively. My story allows me to meet women (and men and children) exactly where they are — without judgment, with complete honesty, and with a rare level of emotional understanding.

Today, I work with both women and men, but I hold a special place for women — for their stories, their cycles, their emotional landscapes, their generational wounds. I see in them not just pain, but an ancient strength waiting to be remembered.

Retreats are sacred to me.
They allow something that regular therapy often cannot:

When a person leaves their familiar environment — the town, the energy, the emotional pressure — something opens. The nervous system softens. The mind sees more clearly. An inner shift becomes possible.

In just a few days, trust forms, clarity arrives, friendships bloom, and the next step of personal growth emerges naturally. Watching someone break free from old patterns or finally see their inner truth is one of the greatest joys of my life.

Cape Town is my home in every way that matters.

The first time I arrived, I fell in love. The second time, I knew it was real.
The openness, the sisterhood among women, the genuine kindness, the nature, the ocean, the mountain, the air — everything in Cape Town vibrates differently. People are honest, warm, and willing to help. The city holds both strength and softness, grounding and freedom.

In Cape Town, I feel like my full self.
And I want my clients to experience that same sense of liberation.

My way of guiding is a blend of:

• softness and directness

• psychology and energy work

• intuition and structure

• science and ritual

• mind, body, and soul

Healing is not one path — it is many.
Some days you need to breathe gently; some days you need to climb a mountain.
Some days you sit in silence; some days you release everything in fire.

Clients often share that they feel:

• safe

• deeply understood

• lighter

• clearer

• free

• connected to themselves again

• ready for the next step

• aware of their inner truth

They often say something “clicked,” something shifted — and the path ahead finally makes sense.

• Safe.
• Seen.
• Loved.
• Grounded.
• Free.
• And reconnected to all of herself — both light and shadow —because true power comes from integration, not perfection.

My soul’s mission is to guide people toward balance — between light and darkness, the left and right hemispheres, the body and spirit, outer action and inner peace.

Not to erase trauma, but to alchemize it.
Not to run from the shadow, but to integrate it.
Not to escape the world, but to rise above it.

This is the essence of everything I teach.
And it is the heart of every retreat I create.
