I’m excited to share that….
I’m retiring!!
I’ve worked with over 75 small business owners on their marketing, content strategy and websites over the last 3 years. And before that, countless projects and brands through my corporate roles.
It was September 2018, my son Leo was a year old, and I was working my day job for Microsoft running the marketing for global education projects. I loved the mission, but the frustrations of working for a large company and loneliness working remotely with a team based in the US left me feeling I was meant for more.
I strongly believe in flexible working and being in community -so I started running local co-working sessions. I also put my 15 years of corporate marketing experience to use, working as a consultant for startup businesses.
As my business evolved over the next 3 years, from a co-working club, to a marketing consultancy, to a coaching and mentoring practice, I realised what I most enjoyed was three things:
1- Helping people find work/life balance and enjoyable ways of working – this was what was at the core of the co-working club I started. Plus my own core value of freedom and choice. Only when you actually enjoy running your business is it truly sustainable.
2- Bringing in creativity and intuition as the way to achieve work happiness. Accepting our own neurodiversity and working with it, not against it.
3- Helping people gain a deeper understanding of themselves at an energetic level with Astrology and Human Design and other profiling tools. And applying these insights to match your work lifestyle to your natural preferences. This ‘Human First’ approach is about recognising our own uniqueness and being trauma-aware in the way we market and share about our work.
So…. now it’s time for me to retire from marketing!
I decided to finish up with a bang so I’m offering one last chance to work with me 1:1 on your marketing before I close the door on that part of my career.
I am embracing this as a celebration and stepping forwards into the next phase of my business in the month after I turn 39 on 12th March. So wrapping up by Easter.
I am taking FINAL BOOKINGS for:
Half Day Marketing Planning sessions
Walk away with a clear plan and all our notes captured in your own Trello board to keep and refer back and use on an ongoing basis

The only other places I’ll be including any marketing trainings are within my membership, The Intuitive Business Academy, and my 6 month Programme re:Spark – in these programmes, I integrate energy work, the cyclical approach and practical business strategy & Human-First Marketing approaches.
(Human First is all about recognising that it is not OK to sell things by making people feel bad- we all have unique experiences and recognising that we all see and approach things differently).
“Lauren’s half day 1:1 session was so valuable. I went into the session feeling anxious about the release of my first book. I had no strategy, no plan and felt rather overwhelmed. Lauren’s approach was infused with calmness. She supported me in creating an 8 week publicity campaign which took me from pre sale to publication. She guided me in ensuring the marketing activities matched my cyclical energy levels and helped break everything down into manageable bite size tasks. She created an easy to use and very detailed Trello board which kept me on track.
I am so grateful to Lauren for her in depth knowledge and calm approach. The book launch was a huge success and it reached Number 1 ‘Hot New Releases’ in 3 categories on Amazon. Thanks to Lauren I was able to navigate my through the publication journey feeling calm, prepared and focused.”
Katie, Author and Guide @restorywithkatie
“Lauren helped me in many ways and totally went above my expectations on what she taught me and supported me on. She suggested things that would challenge me (putting my face more on my brand), future possibilities (further ways to reach my audiences) and useful tools. Lauren’s help gave me the confidence to really go for my campaign.”
Liz Fraser-Betts, Founder of Dot Dot Dash
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Lauren. She is a wealth of knowledge in all things marketing and the steps you need to take to set up from scratch.I really gained the confidence and clarity I needed to launch my Instagram account with ease. I now run the account myself selling positive message affirmation candles @loveup_loveyou”
