Hello Lovely!
I am so grateful you are taking the time to learn about me, my mission and ways we can collaborate to raise our shared consciousness.
I have observed many changes in my lifetime. The fast-paced developments in technology, matched by economic hardship and a declining sense of emotional and mental health are significant factors leading to the decline of our species. Let’s face it, we are all struggling! When I was a child the only thing I thought standing in the way of me and my dreams was just time. But as I got older things happened to me and I had to overcome much adversity. These struggles led to deep sadness in my life and on occasion left me asking “What was the point of being alive if this is all there is for me?” I spent my life always seeking comfort in spiritual knowledge and developing health and wellness routines that enabled me to expand my intuition and develop a relationship with myself. Through every health challenge, heartbreak and scarcity of human affection, I came out stronger and more equipped to deal with the next hardship ahead. The famous author and trailblazer of the self-help genre, Dr. M. Scott Peck declared in the first sentence of The Road Less Traveled, “Life is difficult.” While this is a reality we all come to learn to accept at some point in our lives, I believe it is also true we are meant to thrive and not just survive!
Activate with Lara is the result of many journeys, paths traveled & untraveled, and some really hard work. I hope you will embark together with me so that one day you might wake up in the morning and instead of wondering how are you going to get through another day, you will awake with curiosity and excitement about what gets to happen to you today and ponder all the things that just don’t get to happen to you but that you also get to make happen!
Love,
Lara

Activation Journeys are designed to cultivate meaningful transformations. They are ideal for those looking to activate needed release, alchemy and or growth in specific areas.

The structure is intended to implement an accountable system over time through one-on-one mentorship in person and/or via Zoom to foster constructive changes that help the client transcend paralysis and into a life that is fueled by curiosity and freedom.
The journeys are divided into four main areas:

Health Coaching
The first step in any health and wellness plan is the physical relationship we have with our own bodies. My goal is to help you listen to the messages your body is sending you and take steps that will improve your overall well-being. Self-care does not have to be a luxury. I will mentor you through incremental changes over a three-month period that will lead to sustainable change on your activation journey.
*There is a three-month minimum for health coaching plans. The cost is $1111. After the initial period, individual sessions are offered as needed at a rate of $75.00. Initially, we discuss your goals on a free health consult. On occasion, I will suggest supplemental modalities to my clients by other businesses and/or myself, and these services are an additional cost.
