Private Clients:

“Laura created the perfect atmosphere, ritual and mood for such an important day of my life. We met a few weeks earlier to choose some scents that resonated with me, which she then blended for the ritual. On the day, she was calm, collected and grounded amongst the hectic energy of an Indian pre-wedding household. She even brought a beautiful crown that I could wear on the day during the ceremony, made me feel like a gypsy princess 😀  Laura conveyed the significance of this ritual to my tribe of women, who all thoroughly enjoyed the dance workshop and learnt some dance moves to boot! Always articulate, nurturing and giving, Laura made my blessing ceremony so memorable and filled with feminine joy. I cannot thank Laura enough for all her energy, wisdom and guidance. Thank you for being part of my special day! Sanjukta, Bride-To-Be, Bridal Blessing
