Hey there,
I’m Lara
I’m an Aussie-born performing artist and professionally certified life & creativity coach—also an actor, author, and podcast host—with over 25 years of experience in the arts across London, Australia, and the USA.
Now based in Atlanta, I help artists of all kinds reclaim their creative identity and build a life they actually want.
Flat white coffee in hand, I’m obsessed with deep conversations, storytelling, and cutting through the noise to help you live with purpose, power, and creative momentum.
.
Morning focus time, school lunches, gym and dance, self-tapes, writing, podcasting sessions, client calls, and making space for creativity—even when life feels full.
Coaching artists, podcasting, writing books, parenting two wild and wonderful kids, filming reels, and dancing around the kitchen.
Hustle culture, glamorized burnout, performative “balance,” or pretending everything’s fine.
Real conversations, creative autonomy, flat white coffees, doing the deep work, scheduling joy, and knowing your worth.
Over the years, I’ve worked with thousands of creatives across Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Perth), Europe, the USA, and beyond. Somewhere between the shows and the hustle, I realized something: talent alone isn’t enough.
To thrive, artists need identity, strategy, and support.
So I rebuilt my creative life from the inside out—and along the way, I deepened my training, becoming a certified ICF PCC life coach. I also hold an MA in Musical Theatre, a BCA in Dance, a Graduate Diploma in Dance and Drama Education, and acting credentials from RADA London.
Now I coach artists to do the same—clarify their identity, regain momentum, and build a creative life that actually works.
I didn’t always have confidence, clarity, or momentum…
My life hasn’t always looked like this.
I used to juggle studio rehearsals, side gigs, and cross-continental moves—teaching, performing, and barely pausing to breathe.
