MEET YOUR COACH

I'm Laura, Founder of Green Hammock and a guide for women ready to reclaim joy through presence and gentle evolution.

Since becoming certified in 2019, I've been practicing and deepening this work, blending breath, mindfulness, and poetic reflection into a coaching style rooted in the Ayurvedic principle of Svastha—a state of abiding in one's true Self, where body, mind and spirit rest in natural harmony.

After decades immersed in investor guidelines, regulatory frameworks, and underwriting strategy, I chose to begin again at 64—trading compliance for compassion and policy for presence.

My approach is gentle, experiential, and deeply personal. I believe transformation doesn't need to be loud—it can be quiet, intentional, and beautifully yours.

GREEN HAMMOCK
Vision Statement

For each and every woman—whether beginning her journey raising a family or stepping into the spaciousness of midlife and beyond—to know her worth, and to be treated as the equally amazing being she is. For each woman to lift another, so she too can see the beauty around her, and feel joy in every single day.

MEET YOUR HAMMOCK

Green Hammock began not with a product, but with a feeling: the soft almost-imperceptible sway within stillness, the breath between moments and the invitation to rest in the midst of chaos.

In a season of storms, my simple, portable, well-loved green hammock became a refuge. It became a ritual, a cradle for peace, reflection and renewal. Suspended between earth and sky, I found the breath beneath it all. I met my forgotten self—unburdened by guilt or shame, free from the constraints of the ego, and overflowing with love, joy and equilibrium.

The feeling mirrored what I'd later come to know through meditation. At the time, I hadn't formally practiced—but something in me recognized the wisdom.

So I learned, I practiced. I taught. I shared. And slowly, Green Hammock, (greenhammock.life) emerged—not as a brand, but as a living extension of that journey.

It's still evolving.
Just like I am.

A hammock, after all, is never fixed. It sways, it breathes, it holds.

And so do we.

Why Meditation

Green Hammock Mission

You are perfect right now, exactly as you are. And guess what? No matter what's going on outside of you, life—at its core—is beautiful and something to celebrate!

Green Hammock’s mission is to create accessible, nurturing spaces where women can reconnect with themselves through mindfulness, breathwork, and gentle inner work. We support women in cultivating clarity, resilience, and renewed vitality — empowering them to participate more fully in their lives, their relationships, and their communities.

Nothing needs to change, but it will.

That's the power of meditation and mindfulness.

My Personal Mission

To spend time with my authentic self each day, through the practice of yoga and meditation, and to live each moment mindfully. To know my worth. To live with integrity, strength, compassion, joy, and kindness. To recognize and celebrate life's miracles—no matter how seemingly insignificant they may be. To feel a resounding sense of lightness in my being and joy in my heart, regardless of circumstance. And to be a light for other women who may be struggling (or simply juggling), so they too can shine their light for others and live each day in glorious celebration.
