About Us

We (Laura and Laila) have been working together for the last couple of years serving our corporate clients with our other hats on.  But we thought it was about time we did something for you as individuals and so the BE:DO Academy was born!  Whilst we've used the appropriate with countless clients before, this is the first time we are offering it to individuals that haven't booked one of our corporate coaching programmes.  

If you're an employer and want to look at enrolling multiple employees onto the BE:DO Academy, get in touch!

I've been hugely passionate about finding balance since experiencing burn-out at the age of 24.  


I spent 15 years organising events and marketing campaigns and left my role as Managing Director at an agency in 2016.  I set up a corporate coaching and development company called No More Ifs Or Buts and a workplace wellbeing organisation called Stress Matters.


I developed the BE:DO approach in 2018 and have been using it to support a huge variety of clients ever since.


I was a child of the 80s and so I wanted to be Madonna when I grew up.  That then got updated with wanting to be Queen B herself but alas my ability to sing stopped that pipedream.  I've now established that fame and fortune aren't my route to happiness! 


I'm a trained coach, NLP Practitioner and Mental Health First Aid Instructor.


I've got my sausage dog called Bonnie (also referred to as Queen B!) to keep my husband James and I company.  Doggy cuddles, coaching my clients and the odd margarita is near enough my route to happiness now!

Well-being has always been my jam and I spent most of my 20 year-career in events juggling global congresses and exhibitions with yoga and personal development. Until in 2015 I learnt the hard way that doing yoga a few times a week isn’t the antidote (on it’s own) to stress and I had my own work burn-out. I spent the next 2 years travelling, formally studying yoga, mindfulness and meditation and finding my own balance between living a well life and working with passion.


I left my corporate role as COO of a global media company to start up my well-being based coaching business A Life More Mindful. As a trained yoga, mindfulness and meditation teacher and a certified coach, I combine my wellness techniques with my corporate experience to turn employee happiness into business results.


I wholeheartedly believe that businesses need to ‘be’ well not just ‘do’ well and it starts at the heart of the organisation. I now work with leaders, HR and wellbeing champions to create happy, healthy workplaces.


These days I take extra good care of my own mental heath since having a baby in 2019 with daily walks, daily dance-offs, meditation and plenty of deep breaths!
