Who I Am

I'm Laura V — Awakening Facilitator and Circle Leader, and the founder of Awakened Women Rising.

I guide spiritually aware women to trust their inner guidance and step into what their awakening is calling them toward.

Who Is the Awakened Woman Rising?

You've been walking the awakening path for a while now. You've done the inner work — the healing, the growing, the showing up. You trust your intuition more than you once did.

And yet something is still stirring. A sense that your awakening isn't just for you. That everything you've lived and learned may be preparing you for something more.

You're not lost. You're not broken. You're standing at a threshold — and you're ready to figure out what comes next.

That's exactly who I'm here for.

Why I Do This Work

In 2023 something happened that changed everything.

I was in a session with a healer when my higher self dropped fully into my body for the first time. My whole body felt calm. Peaceful. Filled with a presence that was grounded and steady — something I had not felt, really, ever before.

I realized that wounded child parts of me had been running the show for decades. Like the movie Home Alone — a child left to manage everything, protect everything, hold the whole house together. Exhausted and alone.

And for the first time, it felt like a parent had come home.

I literally said out loud: "Where have you been all my life?"

That experience — and the intensive healing work that followed — completely changed me. My friends saw it. One woman cried. Another said: "Wow. Just wow." I felt lighter, brighter, more connected, more at peace.

And I thought: I want other women to feel this. Not just hear about it. Actually feel it.

I know what it feels like to be called clearly and still wonder if you're on the right path. My mentor told me to just keep showing up. So I did. And I'm here now to walk beside you as you do the same.

I don't offer anything I haven't practiced myself. What I guide others into is something I continue to live and deepen every day.

How I Work

I was a voice teacher before I began guiding women into connection with their inner guidance and Higher Selves.

I had warm-up routines, songs and strategies. But those tools served one thing — helping singers access their true singing voice. I could hear it and attune them to it. We found it in one lesson. My students kept coming back to learn how to access it consistently and reliably — until they could sing whatever they wanted with a voice that felt and sounded good to them.

That's what I do here.

I listen for what wants to be seen, heard or expressed. I bring compassionate presence to it. I guide you to feel it, embrace it and embody it.

Then I guide you to practice the tools that help you access that felt, energetic state of connection — until it becomes natural and normal to you.

I don't use a pre-set method or plan. I listen, attune and guide in the moment — meeting you exactly where you are.

"I make the intangible tangible."

What you already know is true — the love, the guidance, the presence — I help you feel it in your body, not just in your mind.

What It's Like to Work With Me

Something consistent happens in my private sessions, group practice gatherings and circles:

Women relax. Their nervous systems settle. Their inner guidance comes online.

They share vivid inner experiences, unexpected images, emotions and insights — not because they're trying to, but because space has opened for something deeper to move.

I've watched women reconnect with parts of themselves they hadn't felt in years — or ever. And yes, I've watched them glow from the inside out.

What Clients Say

"Laura's presence is a healing balm… I feel safe, heard, and understood."

"She guided me to feel my Higher Self in my body. I've wanted that for years."

"This work is fast. It's easy. It's life-changing."

"I came to Laura overwhelmed with grief, trauma, and sadness after suddenly losing my partner. In one session, she helped me feel relief, hope, and connection again. I learned that I had a choice — I could collapse into the pain or connect with love — and she guided me into a new way of being. I can already feel myself becoming more like myself again. To anyone considering working with her: absolutely do it. It is a gift to yourself and to your loved ones on the other side." — Molly
