ABOUT LAURENCE/
LIVING ALIVE. RETURNING HOME
I’ve spent a lifetime tending to the whole human being — body, mind, and soul. My path has been one of curiosity, devotion, and deep reclamation.
Like you, I’m having a human journey — with all that life brings: the beauty, the ache, the unraveling, and the reawakening.
Through my own seasons of transformation, I came to understand that healing is not something we achieve — it’s something we remember. Wellness and aliveness are not destinations; they are ways of being.
My work today weaves together years of experience, study, and lived practice — breathwork, bioenergetics, nervous system regulation, and embodied awareness — into what I call The Manifest Soul Lifestyle — a living, breathing path of returning to Self.
THE JOURNEY BACK TO ALIVENESS
The way I walk this path has evolved profoundly.
I was taught to live from the head — to analyze, achieve, and survive. It was woven deep into my DNA. But life, in its infinite wisdom, asked me to live differently. It invited me into the work — the real, uncomfortable, liberating process of unlearning.
I was asked to journey from the head to the heart.
From survival to truth. From doing to being.
This is where wellness and aliveness truly begin.
Through my own rebuilding, I’ve learned that living alive means to feel, fully; to meet each moment honestly and allow the breath to guide me home.
This IS my life’s work — for myself, for you, for all.
THE FOUNDATION BENEATH IT ALL
In retrospect, the foundation of this work was laid down long before I had words for it. As a little girl, my father would tell me bedtime stories—gentle, luminous tales that instilled the simple truth that “we are each a spark of God’s light.”
Now, years later, after life has shaped me, I see the enduring truth of that message. That spark is the essence of being alive. The journey has always been about coming home, again and again, to the light within.
This act of remembering—that we are both the light and the vessel of it—is the work, and the return to a life lived fully alive and whole.
THE SOL EXPERIENCE
The SOL Experience was born through this embodiment. It is the core program I offer to help you illuminate your inner path. It is deeply human.
Welcome Home!
With love,
Laurence
