ABOUT GREEN HAMMOCK 

Where Joy is Devotion & Dabbling is a Sacred Art

LAURA MANNING

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 Ayurvdic Health and Primordial Sound Meditation (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— not as a departure from my career, but as an evolution to how I lead, support and build.

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

Our vision is a world where every woman—whether nurturing a family, rebuilding her life, or stepping into the spaciousness of midlife and beyond—knows her inherent worth and is supported in living with clarity, resilience, and joy. We envision communities where women uplift one another, creating ripples of wellbeing that strengthen families, deepen connection, and cultivate a more compassionate world.​

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.

Nothing needs to change, but it will.

That's the power of meditation and mindfulness.
