WHAT IS THE INNER VISION YOU'RE READY TO TRANSMUTE INTO REALITY?
You’re feeling inspired, excited and nervous, maybe a little scared, overwhelmed or even a little confused. After all, life is changing and its changing fast — for all of us.
Amidst the emotion, as you look over the edge into the great unknown, one thing is crystal clear…
You have a vision and you’re ready to take the leap and go for it.
You’re feeling the call: it’s time to think bigger, open your heart wider and expand what you believe is possible to create with your life.
Maybe you’re ready to:
- Build a sustainable community somewhere you can grow food all year around somewhere a little less populated;
- Launch a documentary on how coronavirus just completely changed the world;
- Build a pro-psychedelic retreat center in Peru;
- Launch a mystery school;
- Create an advanced training program that only you could deliver;
- Invent a new medical technology to reduce hospital waste;
- Launch an online brand, YouTube channel or podcast to share your unique message;
- Write that book you’ve always been thinking about;
- Or maybe you just know you want to create a better life for yourself and for humanity, but you’re not sure where to start?
Whatever vision you want to get off the ground, large or small. I can help you make that inner vision a reality.
SHAMANIC LIFE &
BUSINESS COACH
I know what it takes to get large visions off the ground. And yes, it’s not always easy, but in my experience it’s always 100% worth it.
There is nothing more satisfying than holding an inner vision only you can see and then witness that vision transmute into manifest reality.
It’s one of life’s greatest gifts.
This is a process of alchemy—on every level of being—emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. It becomes about the transmutation and expansion of your consciousness.
Brené Brown, speaking about the risk of creating: “I don’t leap because I think I’m going to stick the landing, I leap for the act of the actual jump, for the experience of flying through the air.”
Laura Dawn's Philosophy
BECOME THE VISIONARY OF YOUR LIFE
Being a visionary is the process of consciously shaping yourself into the person who thinks, acts, speaks, behaves and believes like the person you see yourself becoming.
This is a process. My philosophy is that it’s not about the outcome or the thing you create; the retreat center you build, the book you write, the podcast you launch; it’s about the person you become along the way.
You have expand your mind into unchartered realms of possibility, and to raise yourself up to meet that vision and start thinking at the level you want to create at.
That is where the magic is, and once you realize this, life becomes a lot more meaningful, satisfying and fulfilling.
Laura Dawn's Philosophy
I call myself a shamanic life and business coach. Why? because I know how to straddle both worlds of spirituality and business, inner realms and outer realms, quantum reality and physical reality. I have a business degree and have been an entrepreneur my whole life, but I’ve also been a student of Eastern philosophy and have been working with psychedelics for over two decades.
More than anything, ayahuasca has taught me that everything we want to create in this physical reality is first created in the spirit realm and we have a lot more influence over what we choose to create though the power of conscious intention.
I believe in the power of intention and visualization (an essential piece not offered by your average business or life coach), yet I also know how to couple those inner-realm practices with solid outer-realm strategies. Let’s start by looking at what some of those strategies might look like and how I can help you with them.
SHAMANIC BUSINESS COACHING
I am a top-level coach. This means I see the big picture and hold that vision with you, and then help you find the best way to make that vision a reality, given your unique circumstances.
This also means that for larger projects, I don’t write your copy for you, or build your website, design your logo, create your brand book, or post on social media for you — although I consult on all of it at the top-level.
What I do is bring the right team together to implement and execute everything you need from branding to website creation, to pitch decks for investors. Because of my extensive network of professionals, I save you a lot of time by not only knowing what needs to happen, but by assembling the best people to do it. As a result, every project and team is a little different.
Depending on your time and budget, as well as the skillsets you feel inspired to learn, I can also make recommendations for additional external resources, like online programs you can invest in to acquire the necessarily skillsets to implement the strategy yourself.
From years of experience, I will also recommend which skillsets are worth investing in for the long haul and where it makes more sense to hire out other professionals so you can get up and running more quickly.
WHATEVER YOU NEED, I'VE GOT YOU COVERED
CLARITY & STRATEGY
Helping you to define and refine your vision, and then create a subsequent strategy to launch that vision is one of my superpowers.
Here’s how I can help:
- Whether you are launching an online brand or building a physical community, It’s easy to get overwhelmed in the early stages of getting a large vision off the ground. I can help you think through the whole process so you can get clear on which next steps make the most sense for you to maximize your time, energy and money.
- As a visionary, it can be easy to get stuck in only thinking big, but then you have to zoom in on the details and decide what you need to do today, this week, this month and this year, all while holding the big picture vision in your mind’s eye. This is implementation strategy at its best.
- Keep in mind that creating is not static, it’s very dynamic. It’s a continuous process of refinement and readjusting your sails to new information or new circumstances. This requires a lot of mental and emotional flexibility, which is its own kind of training. This is where life coaching blends into business coaching. I can support you in what it takes to stay flexible and adaptable to change, while staying centered and grounded.
- Sometimes, when you’re too close to something, it’s difficult to keep a fresh perspective. This is where I come in. I can help you stay attuned to the necessary evolution and refinement of your vision, without unnecessarily or drastically changing the course. Adjustments will inevitably need to happen, and staying open and flexible is crucial, but you also want to make sure you’re pivoting in the right direction.
- I can help you create an implementation strategy and flexible plan of action that enables you to not only know what next steps you need to take, but help you stay accountable and on track, without losing sight of what’s really important for you in your life.
IMPLEMENTATION: FROM BRANDING TO SOCIAL MEDIA
BRANDING
Most big visions require branding. This includes developing a design aesthetic that lends a cohesive feel to your logo, website, business cards, product design (if you’re launching a physical product), or investment pitch deck if you’re seeking funding.
Depending on your needs and your budget, I can help put the right team together so you can have a look and feel to your brand or business that you absolutely love.
CONTENT STRATEGY
This is for content creators launching online brands, and will tie into your overall business, and social media strategy. Should you write articles for your website or maybe pitch articles to other people’s website? Maybe you should write a book, or create videos for IGTV and YouTube? One thing I know all too well is that it’s easy to spread yourself too thin.
I can help you decide on what makes the most sense to focus on given your skillsets and passion, help you create a content calendar and teach you how to batch your content to save you a ton of time.
FINANCE
If you need help with financial modeling or need to show investors financial projections for larger projects, I’ve also got you covered. I’ve built many financial models over the years. Depending on the industry you’re in, either I can help, or I can recommend someone else for you.
If your vision is on a smaller scale but you need to figure out your books, accounting, product or service pricing, I can also help.
SOCIAL MEDIA
What social media channels does it make sense to be on? How often should you post? How do you grow your social media accounts?
I can help you create a social media strategy, depending on factors like time, budget, and stage of business development and brand messaging. If you’re new to social media, I can help you get started. I can show you easy-to-use tools to help grow your accounts, help you decide which channels to be on that makes the most sense for your skill sets and business, and help refer you to people who manage social media accounts.
SHAMANIC VISIONARY COACHING
Fuck the grind. No one wants to be a slave to their business. And that doesn’t have to be your reality. A good life is created by intentional and conscious design.
The best business advice I’ve ever received was to first and foremost design a life you love and then build a business that supports that vision – not the other way around.
But there’s so much that prevents people from living the kind of life they really want. They get caught in old limiting beliefs, scarcity mindsets and feelings of unworthiness.
Visionary coaching can help you weave a new and more empowering story of your life.
“If you think small, you're going to create small."
LIFE LESSONS
What the culmination of my life experience has taught me is that the power to create starts in your mind. If you think small, you’re going to create small.
In order to launch big, you need to think big. And in order to expand what and how you think, you have to expand what you believe. This is deep internal work that requires you to explore the limiting beliefs preventing you from going for what you really want in life.
Through daily visionary practices, you can learn how to re-wire old limiting beliefs and transmute them into empowering ones, and this is actually the most important work you can do.
I can teach you how to create a neurological blueprint within the inner realms of your mind to consciously create your reality.
PEAK PERFORMANCE MEETS SELF-COMPASSION
SHAMANIC LIFE COACHING
Being a professional creator, whatever it is you’re bringing through, is like being a professional athlete. It takes dedication to be on your game. The better you feel emotionally, mentally and physically, the easier it’s going to be to launch your vision and stay inspired to create.
If you want it to be, coaching with me can be a full-life overhaul. I can work with you on:
- kicking old addictive habits and cultivating new healthier ones that support your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
- Help you to implement daily routines that support you in opening up your creative channel so you can tap into more flow. (We can also cover microdosing).
- We can also look at sleep habits, dietary habits, exercise and movement habits and meditation habits.
This isn’t about becoming the drill sergeant of your life and endlessly “striving”. It is more than possible to enjoy the ride along the way. And on this journey, self-compassion is going to be a much more effective (and kind) ally than self-criticism.

Laura Dawn's Visionary Business Coaching Shaped my Business and Changed My Life
I was a hot mess when I had my first consult with Laura Dawn. I didn’t have a clear direction, brand or even bottom line, though I had a big mission and some lofty goals. Laura was able to distill my chaos and create clarity. She was able to create a step by step pathway to where I am now. Laura was the MVP on my team, i seriously could not have gotten through this past year without her loving and direct support. She dialed in my brand aesthetics in a major way, i have a clear direction, a stunning website, a consistent idea of my bottom line and so many ninja skills that she infused into me. Laura Dawn would not let me settle for anything other the my greatness. She knew just the right ways to push and the right ways to surrender and allow me to figure it out. I love Laura so much! She is truly the most multi-faceted bad ass ninja I have worked with!
Laura Dawn's LIFE resume
GETTING TO KNOW ME
- I grew up training in sports. This early “indoctrination” taught me a lot about dedication and discipline (not a dirty word, but a necessary habit to launch big visions).
- I have a degree in finance, I am a first level CFA and I started investing in the stock market in my early twenties.
- I have been coaching people, companies and small businesses since I was in my early twenties.
- I grew my first online brand to 1.5 million people on facebook and sold it for 6-figures.
- That money helped fund the building of our retreat center.
- Starting with 10 acres of completely raw land, my husband and I built an off-grid volcanic hot spring retreat center from scratch.
- During that time I wrote and published two books, launched another wellness brand to over a hundred thousand followers, and launched online challenges, courses and group coaching programs.
- I have led hundreds of transformational retreats for the better part of a decade, including plant medicine retreats with experienced facilitators.
- I have been studying Tibetan Buddhism for about 15 years. Pema Chödrön has been a major influence for me for the majority of my adult life.
- I know every aspect of the retreat business, from building our own center, to retreat logistics, to catering, to retreat financials, branding, promotion, hospitality, program development. I have run retreats ranging from 1 to 2 people, for couples, for small groups and for groups as large as 40 people.
- I did all the branding and design aesthetic for all of my businesses. I built all of my websites, and many others as well. (Now I no longer build other people’s websites, I have an incredible team for that).
- I have been working with psychedelics for over two decades. Ayahuasca has been my primary plant teacher for ten years and is the best councilor, teacher, mentor and guide I’ve ever had.
- After moving through enormous adversity, loss and grief, when the volcano erupted in 2018 and we were forced to evacuate our beloved land and retreat center, I moved through a very dark place in my life. After pausing on all creative endeavors, I reemerged a year and a half later to launch my new retreat company AYA Visionary. Over New Year’s 2020, right before Coronavirus hit, I lead the most successful retreat of my entire career.
