COACHING CLIENTS TESTIMONIALS

Wang Nan 王楠 – China - Client was stuck in a professional relationship where she could not feel at easy . After the session she came back saying she got promoted . “ That day, connecting with nature, I felt the soft soil, the fragrant air, the mysterious tree hollows, and the clean leaves after the rain. All of these slowly calmed and grounded my originally restless and anxious heart, as if I had merged with the trees and nature itself. I also realized that the thoughts that made me uncomfortable belonged to others, not to me.This healing method is truly wonderful.”那天与大自然的链接，我感受到柔软的 泥土，芬芳的气息，神秘的树洞，雨后干净的树叶，所有这些都让我本来烦躁焦虑的心慢慢地 松下来，沉下来，仿佛与大树大自然融合在一起。 *也觉悟了让我心内不舒服的说法就属于他别人，不是我*。。这种疗愈方式真的很棒

NADIA 端端 - China -Client was in an important moment of her life where she needed to decide her new direction in life . she felt scared and needed some clarity on how to take a decision She felt amazed of what she discovered, a a big shift.By writing down the experience she felt the shift been reinforced. “On Friday, I attended Laura'session at Beihai Park for the first time, and everything felt truly magical. Laura first helped me refine the problem I wanted to address and clarified my question further—should I let go of my desires? Importantly, she made me see that desires bring me pain in my heart, and letting go of them represents ease and joy. However, she also made me vaguely aware that I fear the disappearance of desires might lead to emptiness and loneliness. This is something worth pondering further. Is it that I am unwilling to let go of my desires, or am I unable to let go?The segment where the tree and body combined to sense the interplay of rationality and emotion was perhaps the most magical moment of all. My body could fully feel how different postures brought different sensations, and the posture that combined both rationality and emotion brought the best feeling: safe, brave, confident, relaxed, and unafraid. All these sensations are what I constantly strive for, and they are the weapons my rational logic, driven by desire, uses to resist pain. Of course, beyond the realization that rationality and emotion are interconnected and inseparable, I suddenly realized something else: I had always thought that rationality brings me liberation, while emotion brings me pain, but in fact, it’s the complete opposite. When rationality burdens us with too much thought and pressure, we feel oppression and pain. The moment the combination of emotion and rationality manifested within me, this union could be mobilized to confront the feelings brought by the terrifying logic of rationality, and thus the negative feelings brought by rationality were overcome. All these insights happened very naturally. I looked at the trees, felt the gentle breeze, and listened to Laura's wise guidance. Everything unfolded naturally. I knew I just needed to wait bravely, safely, and naturally for things to happen. When it truly happens, I will naturally know whether I should let go, whether I need to let go, whether I am willing to let go, and whether I can let go. These decisions are to be made naturally through the union of emotion and rationality 周五第一次在北海公园享受了 Laura 的个案，一切都感觉很神奇。 Laura首先帮助我简练了 我 想要解决的问题，并且也更加明确了我的问题——我是否应该放下我的欲望。很重要 的 是，她让我看到了在我心中欲望会给我带来的是痛苦，欲望的放下就代表着轻松愉 悦，但同时 也让我隐约看到我害怕欲望的消失会带来空虚和寂寞的开始。这一点很值 得有更多的思考。到 底是我不愿意放下我的欲望还是我无法放下。 大树和身体结合感受理性感性的环节，大概是一 切最神奇的事情发生的时刻。我的身 体完全可以感受到不同的姿势会带来不同的感觉，而理性 和感性共同结合的姿势会带 来最佳感觉：安全的，勇敢的，自信的，放松的，不害怕的。所有 这些感觉都是我时 刻想要追求的，都是我欲望所带来的理性逻辑所需要的用来反抗痛苦的武 器。当然， 一切最重要的出了理性与感性是相互作用的，是分不开的之外，我还突然意识到： 我 一直都认为是理性带给我解脱，感性带给我痛苦，但其实完全是相反的。当理性赋予 了我 们太多的思考和负担，我们感受到了压迫和痛苦，感性和理性共同的结合在我身 上提现出来的那一刻，这个结合体便可以被调动起来去面对理性想出的那些可怕的逻 辑所带来的感受，于是 理性所带来的负面感受就被战胜了。 一切的领悟都发生的非常的自然，我看着树木，感受着和 风，听着 Laura 的智慧引 导，一切都在很自然的发生。我知道我只需要勇敢的，安全的，自 然的等待着事情的 发生就好了，当它真的发生了我自然会知道我要不要放下，需不需要放下， 愿不愿意 放下，能不能放下。这些决定是要用感性和理性的结合体去自然的做决定的

Sharon Liu – mindful webdesigner – China- . Laura’s energy is open and empathetic. In her coaching space I felt safe and comfortable to share and explore my inner feelings. She listens deeply and offers insightful questions that prompted me to arrive at new perspectives, even on old topics I have been working with for years. Her integration of somatic awareness in her approach supported me in key moments of getting unstuck from my mind and grounding more into the wisdom of body. Despite our sessions being online and indoors, she was able to bring moments of connecting with nature and the outside world. This, along with her integration of somatic approaches supported me in key moments of getting unstuck from my mind and grounding more into the wisdom of body.

Musab Abdikadir -Somalia Title: Cross-cultural researcher . When I imagine the voice of nature, I hear Laura's calm, grounded, yet powerful voice. I still vividly remember my first mindfulness session with her; it was incredibly creative, refreshing, and inspired everyone to deeply explore themselves and the environment. Laura beautifully incorporated elements of the park to create an engaging and interactive experience. One of my favorite exercises from that day was finding our own tree in the park. The journey of discovering and connecting with my tree felt magical, and it's something I've since integrated into my own life. Now, whenever I visit a new park, finding my special tree has become my personal symbol of connection with that place! Just like I look forward to discovering a new tree in every park, I always look forward to learning something new about myself and nature in every one of Laura’s sessions!
