Laura Thackeray
Laura Thackeray, MSc in Applied Epigenetics and Transformational Coaching, and a Diploma in TESOL, has embodied an up-level in her life, applying epigenetic lifestyle practices intensively over the last four years. Her purpose in life is to support effective habit transformation and long lasting change, empowering children, teens and adults to tap into their full potential. The classroom setting and her colleagues at the British Council provide ample opportunities to role model how to show up more fully, each and every day.
An expat for nearly two decades, Laura has committed to stepping into discomfort and the unknown. Escaping the grey British isles in search of sunnier climates within and without, Laura left “conventional” reality many years ago. Dog-mum to Tulsi, a rescue pup, she relishes time in silence and nature, alone and in community. She consciously creates a healthier, more vibrant way of living, where the body, mind and connection to Spirit can thrive.
