Lauri Smith Access Your Authentic Self™
Home Page
I spent a great portion of my life doing things I thought other people wanted me to do and being someone I thought other people needed me to be. At around age thirty I realized I had been doing this despite the fact that no one else even wanted, needed or expected me to be this person I had created anymore. I left my semi-secure 75K a year job with benefits that I hated going to each day and set out to find my path. I embarked on a journey towards my Authentic Life and my Authentic Self. Along the way I felt drawn to a seemingly disparate set of things that made no sense to me – until recently …
I’ve discovered that four careers that I have always been drawn to (Life Coaching, Fitzmaurice Voicework®, Acting Coaching and Massage Therapy) are all linked to my path. Each of these four “jobs” allows me to help others find their Authentic Selves and their Authentic Lives at the same time as I am drawn closer to mine in the practice of them. Words cannot describe the joy and passion for life I experience every day as a result of being on my path and helping others to find theirs. If you are interested in finding more fulfillment in your own life, whether it involve subtle shifts or major changes, contact me for information or browse the rest of the website – or both.
