About
My Approach
Hi, I’m Laura — founder of Quiet Minds Coaching & Hypnosis.
I work with people who are ready to stop repeating the same patterns and want a way to actually change them — not just manage them.
My work focuses on two main areas: weight loss and emotional patterns such as stress, overwhelm, and limiting beliefs.
As a weight loss coach, my approach is not about diets, restriction, or quick fixes.
It’s about small, realistic changes that fit into your life — the kind that build over time and actually last.Because lasting weight loss isn’t about doing more… it’s about changing the patterns behind it.
In weight loss work, we don’t focus on food alone. The work is done through hypnosis and subconscious-based techniques, helping to shift the patterns behind eating, stress, and habits — so change feels more natural and lasting.
Alongside this, I support women in working through the deeper layers — stress, overthinking, self-doubt, and emotional habits that keep them feeling stuck.Using a combination of hypnosis, NLP, coaching, Havening Techniques®, and HeartMath®, we work at the level where these patterns are created — allowing change to feel more natural and lasting.
I bring together training in hypnosis, NLP, Havening Techniques®, and HeartMath®, combining these into a calm, practical approach to lasting change.
This work is calm, practical, and focused on real results.
Not starting over.
Not pushing harder.
Just doing things differently — in a way that finally works.
My Journey
My approach comes from my own experience of overthinking, people-pleasing, and not feeling good enough — along with the stress and overwhelm that comes with trying to hold everything together.
I know what it’s like to be constantly in your head, trying to get things right and keep everyone else happy, while still feeling unsettled underneath.
I also understand, personally, how patterns around habits and weight can feel like an ongoing struggle — not something that just gets fixed once and for all.
What I came to understand is that these patterns don’t change by trying harder or pushing through. They shift when you start working with what’s going on beneath the surface.
That’s what led me into this work and into training in hypnosis, NLP, Havening Techniques®, and HeartMath® — and it’s the calm, practical approach I now bring to my clients
I am a certified Life and Success Coach, Clinical Weight Loss Coach, Hypnotherapist/Hypnotist, NLP Practitioner, Havening Techniques® Practitioner, and HeartMath® Practitioner. I bring these approaches together to create calm, practical, and lasting change — without overwhelm or quick fixes. I continue to build on this work through ongoing learning, so I can support my clients in a way that is both effective and grounded.
A holistic approach
You don’t need more willpower. You don’t need another plan to follow.
Because if change were just about effort… you would already be there.
Most of what keeps you stuck isn’t logical — it’s patterned.
And until those patterns shift, you can keep trying… and still feel like you’re going in circles.
This is where we work differently.
At Quiet Minds, we work beneath the surface — not just talking about the problem, but changing what’s driving it.
A different way to create change
The Quiet Mind Method
A simple, structured approach to lasting change:
1. Understand the pattern.What’s really driving the behaviour, reaction, or feeling
2. Release what’s been held.Emotional weight, past experiences, internal pressure
3. Rewire the response. Shift the subconscious patterns that keep repeating
4. Move forward differently, with more calm, clarity, and consistency — without forcing it
This work is especially powerful if you:
-
feel stuck in the same emotional or behavioural patterns
-
overthink, second-guess, or doubt yourself
-
use food, habits, or distractions to cope
-
feel calm one day… and back in it the next
-
are going through a life transition and feel unsettled
-
know what to do… but can’t seem to follow through
You don’t need fixing. You need a different level of change.
The results aren’t dramatic — they’re solid
This isn’t about a big breakthrough that fades in a week.
It’s the kind of change where:
-
things that used to trigger you… don’t hit the same
-
decisions feel clearer and less heavy
-
habits begin to shift without constant effort
-
you feel more like yourself again
Quiet. Steady. Real.
sessions
Sessions are calm, focused, and supportive.
They are designed to be a safe, non-judgemental space where you can slow things down and begin to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Depending on what you need, we use a blend of:
-
Hypnosis (to work directly with the subconscious)
-
NLP techniques (to shift patterns and perception)
-
Havening Techniques (to reduce emotional intensity and calm the nervous system)
-
Coaching (to create clarity and forward movement)
-
HeartMath tools (to regulate stress and emotional responses)
You don’t need to know which approach is right - that’s guided for you. Most sessions use a blend of approaches, including hypnosis. However, you’re always in control of how we work together, and we can work without hypnosis if that feels more comfortable for you
A more grounded approach to change
This isn’t about pushing, forcing, or “staying positive.”
It’s about:
-
understanding what’s actually happening internally
-
working with your mind, not against it
-
creating change that holds — even when life is busy or stressful
HYpnosis
What it is
Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of attention where the mind becomes more open and receptive. It’s similar to those moments when you’re deeply absorbed in something or lost in thought. In this state, the subconscious mind — where habits, patterns, and automatic responses are stored — becomes more accessible.
How it helps
Rather than trying to force change through willpower, hypnosis works at the level where patterns are created. It helps shift behaviours, reduce emotional reactivity, and create new, more supportive responses. This allows change to feel more natural, consistent, and easier to maintain over time.
HAVENING
What it is
Havening Techniques is a gentle, neuroscience-based approach that uses soothing touch (on the arms, hands, or face) combined with guided focus. It works with how the brain stores emotional memories and responses, helping to safely process and reduce their intensity.
How it helps
Havening can help reduce stress, anxiety, and the emotional charge connected to past experiences. It allows the nervous system to settle and creates a sense of calm and safety, making it easier to respond to situations without being pulled back into old emotional patterns.
HEARTMATH
What it is
HeartMath is a set of simple, evidence-based techniques that focus on the connection between the heart, brain, and nervous system. Using breathing and awareness practices, it helps bring the body into a more balanced and regulated state.
How it helps
HeartMath tools help reduce stress in the moment and improve emotional regulation. This makes it easier to think clearly, feel more in control, and respond rather than react. Over time, it builds resilience, helping you handle everyday challenges with more calm and stability.
NLP
What it is
NLP is a practical approach to understanding how thoughts, language, and behaviours are connected. It focuses on how patterns are formed in the mind and how they can be adjusted. It’s less about analysing the past and more about changing how you experience things in the present.
How it helps
NLP techniques help shift unhelpful thinking patterns, reframe perspectives, and create new ways of responding. This can reduce overthinking, self-doubt, and emotional triggers, making it easier to feel more in control and move forward with clarity.
