Meet Laura
I’m friendly and approachable, people are my passion and family is very important to me. I love getting to know new people and engaging in community activities.
I grew up in small town New Zealand but have travelled around and found my home in Lower Hutt. I’m passionate about working with people and working alongside my clients to support them to improve their well-being.
What sparks me...
Seeing people thrive and develop their strengths.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me:
