I’m Laura Newbigging, a Life and Death Integration Coach dedicated to guiding individuals through times of change and transition.
My approach blends practical structure with presence and compassion, offering a grounded space to explore what’s next. Together, we create a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable.
After nearly two decades in the dental community, I developed extensive experience supporting people facing decisions, fear, overwhelm, and anxiety. Helping others navigate uncertainty became a natural part of my life, and it’s a skill I now bring to my coaching practice.

After nearly two decades in the dental community, I developed extensive experience supporting people facing decisions, fear, overwhelm, and anxiety. Helping others navigate uncertainty became a natural part of my life, and it’s a skill I now bring to my coaching practice.
Losing several loved ones to early deaths — including a lifelong friend and the young daughter of close friends — gave life and death new meaning for me. These experiences, combined with years of depression and anxiety, led me to explore every avenue for healing and ultimately prioritize mental health through holistic living.
I redesigned my life, integrating tools from various therapeutic modalities to create a balanced, grounded way of being. By identifying what brings me joy and what drains my energy, I’ve learned to live with courageous, unapologetic authenticity.
Now, I guide my clients to do the same — rediscovering themselves, navigating life transitions, and building lives that feel aligned, grounded, and true. Supporting them through these journeys is both my passion and my purpose.
I am professionally trained through Rhodes Wellness College and hold an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). My training equips me to support clients in value-centered decision-making, goal-setting, and uncovering aligned next steps — all while meeting them with empathy and presence.
I continue to grow through mentorship and ongoing professional development, deeply valuing lifelong learning as both a coach and a human being.
My experiences navigating death and dying in personal and community contexts led me to become a Death Doula, a role where I can serve at ground level with compassion, presence, and care.
Today, I teach the coaching certification program at Rhodes Wellness College, and I volunteer as a co-leader of the Victoria Holistic Death Care Community, sharing knowledge and supporting others in this meaningful work.
Alongside coaching, I am also trained in Reiki and Sylvotherapy (forest therapy), practices that deepen my work with clients through energetic balance and connection with the natural world.
Life is a non-linear adventure. In the coaching container, you will adapt, grow, face challenges, and celebrate your joys as you discover where you want to go next. You already have the tools to navigate difficult chapters and make decisions with clarity and confidence.

Life is a non-linear adventure. In the coaching container, you will adapt, grow, face challenges, and celebrate your joys as you discover where you want to go next. You already have the tools to navigate difficult chapters and make decisions with clarity and confidence.
We all carry grief — for loved ones, past versions of ourselves, and experiences we’ve lived through. By living mindfully, facing fears, and re-examining old stories, a more purposeful and fulfilling path can emerge.
As a holistic health advocate, I have explored a wide range of healing modalities, including psychedelics such as cannabis, MDMA, and psilocybin, in pursuit of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Integration is a vital part of any psychedelic journey. Coaching with me provides a supportive space to process, reflect, and embody the insights that arise, helping you move forward with self-trust.
