"I come from an era in which abuse took place and I suppressed and denied my emotions. Shen therapy has taught me a safe way to release my blockages and repair the past and to live in the present. Laura, my shen therapist very gently and non judgementally supported me to reveal my pain that was locked away since I was a child. I could not reveal it to anyone because I believed I had to understand... I did not own who I was, I was allowing pain and trauma from the past to impact on the present. I took four shen sessions and I experienced grief, loss, guilt, visions of the root of my pain and saw colours. Afterwards I would feel very light for a few days, then I cried a lot but I knew this was a healing process. Then I would relax and become focussed and felt empowered. The abuse had stopped me interacting and now, since the shen therapy, I find it easy to interact, and judgement of myself and from others is less of a big deal. I have discovered it's ok to be me."

"For the first time in my life I am able to feel relaxation, peace, wholeness and wellbeing to the very core of my being. I have a calmness of mind that I have never known and I have an unexplainable "knowing" that the shen healing is profound and permanent.

I know that my six Shen sessions with Laura once and for all dealt with the residue of the memories that were deeply buried. My sessions were non-threatening, gentle, hugely enlightening and entirely spontaneous. Laura has a healing gift and loving care for others that are apparent in her work and which I believe bring a vital element to the Shen therapy she offers.

Thank you Laura, I so appreciate that you were there for me when I needed help.

I recently read the following:

There are some beautiful modalities that can help you shift your body and your emotions when you feel like you have cognitively processed the living daylights out of your stress, yet it still remains a challenge.

Sometimes it may be trauma in the past that you know in your mind you have dealt with and made peace with or moved on from, but your unconscious mind still wrestles with. Or it may be comparatively little things.

Our body goes through everything with us, and despite our head moving on, sometimes our body is stuck in the past.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I believe, with no reservation, that Shen is one of these modalities

"I had Laura in to do a consultation at our place and the difference could be felt immediately! Our house is built on some pretty powerful lay lines that were causing a lot of issues. Fixed! I can highly recommend Laura."

"My husband and I contacted Laura to meet with us at our property with the intention of clearing and healing the land during a major earthworks project. The land had to be excavated 16 feet deep in order to make the site buildable. When Laura visited the site we all ''felt into'' the vibration of the land, We both experienced a very faint heartbeat...which suggested a very low vibratory energy. Laura then carried out some geopathic healing to increase this chi. A week later, we visited the land and there was a much deeper sense of stability and ease as we experienced the property. A settling and healing had begun. We intend to continue visiting the site and spraying the water remedy that Laura made for us to help the healing continue. Thank you Laura for your clear intentions and healing energy.

"I first met Laura Campbell when she came to my house that I had just moved into. She was amazing with placing furniture, pictures etc in certain areas to create a positive flow around my home. I had been single for 10 years and soon after the consultation, I started a new relationship!

I also came to Laura for life coaching for 6 weeks. Over that time Laura helped me to transform my goals into realisable plans and I developed greater self-esteem and self confidence. Laura is fantastic to work with and I would recommend her as a life coach as well as a feng shui coach.

Thanks a million Laura!"

"I really had very little idea of what to expect on the oneness awakening course. The whole weekend was an amazing experience - one that is not easy to put into words! Amongst other things, we meditated, danced, laughed and cried. During each of the guided meditations that Laura led, I found myself reaching inwards visiting spaces deep within me that felt foreign and yet vaguely familiar. I experienced so many emotions, but most of all an overwhelming sense of calm and peace. Something in me changed.

That was a few weeks ago; since the Awakening course things have continued to change. My mind is so much calmer and clearer, I require less sleep, have more energy, eat less and things just seem to fall into place with little effort. I feel a much greater connection with my body, nature and other people. Life looks (and feels)different.

Thank you Laura for being You. Your ability to facilitate such a special journey with compassion, understanding and love is incredible. Thank you.

"Sometimes its hard to look at yourself and see the things that need improving, but Laura helps you do just that!!! Throughout my Life Coaching sessions with Laura I felt comfortable and secure in the fact, that the things we were talking about were a road to improving my life. Challenging me and encouraging me to look at things from a different perspective definitely helped me understand why I do things a certain way.
Lauras advice and skills are immense and even sometimes fun! I would thoroughly reccommend Laura if you are thinking about making your life even better than it already is....

"I have been a "spiritual workshop junkie" and have been on a spiritual quest for nearly 20 years. I have been to the pyramids in Mexico, have done year of Shamanic apprenticeship and have read countless spiritual books and am writing my own. Despite all this work, spirituality was merely a concept in my mind.

I first met Laura and her husband Jim at Convergence, a spiritual festival near Christchurch. Their tent next to mine. They seemed to always be laughing and having the time of their life until all hours of the night. They spoke to each other and to their children with love and respect, and I often wondered what they were smoking! Toward the end of the week I found out about the Oneness Blessing and that they "coincidentally" live just a few kilometers from me near Nelson. So I went to a few Oneness blessing groups and noticed that the people looked different - more peaceful.

Much of the reading I had been doing seemed to say that Heaven is perfect Oneness. Since I wanted to find Heaven, it seemed only logical to me to sign up for the Oneness Awakening Course thinking it would help me understand Oneness and Heaven.

I was greatly surprised that the weekend was almost all experiential and involved several guided meditations. During one of the meditations, I had an experience of being at One with the Universe, and experienced Overwhelming Love and compassion for everyone. I felt there was a deep and meaningful purpose for everyone and everything.

Later, we did an open eye meditation, in which I felt a connection and a Oneness with nature without an individual me looking at it. After that, we did our oneness blessing giver initiation ceremony. Leading up to the ceremony, I felt a sense of loss. I cried with the sense of experiencing the death to the person I thought I was. The ceremony was one that felt like a rebirth and a reconnection to my True Self that is One with everything. Though I continued crying for a while after the ceremony, I felt a huge shift.

In the past when I had huge shifts, major dramas would arise in my life that knocked me out of balance. I would then slowly slide back into my ordinary state of being. After this weekend, although I had similar dramas, I experienced them from a place of peace and calmness. Even though it is now about one month after the weekend, I have had more and more experiences of Oneness and these experiences are getting deeper and deeper.

Something major seems to have shifted in my life after the Oneness weekend and I feel there is no turning back.

"Hi Laura,

Great to meet you last Tuesday and thank you for looking at our house. We have put into place a number of your recommendations and are working on the others . With the changes that we have done so far the atmosphere in the house has changed dramatically - it is calmer and more restful and feels more a "home" than a house - this of course reflects on us as we feel calmer and more relaxed and able to cope with life.

I went for another interview on Thursday and was offered the job - I start tomorrow !!

Thank You so much and hope to be in contact with you in the future

Cheers "

"I have been deeply and profoundly impacted by Laura's skills as a coach and a healer. I am certain that without her steady, strong , yet compassionate guidance I would today be in a very different place in my life. Laura is real, she is honest and she is deeply intuitive. Her passion for healing and making a difference in the world is clear from the moment you first speak to her. With Laura I feel safe, I feel listened to and honoured, and with Laura I feel that the world truly can be my oyster, if that is what I want. She has been instrumental in helping me to find my voice, reclaim my confidence and embrace who I really am. I have no doubts in the world that Laura will continue to be part of my journey. Thank you for what you do, it truly makes a difference.

" I had Laura do a Feng Shui consultation on our home; wow - talk about getting to know yourself! This girl's like a house clairvoyant! She was right on the button in terms of what areas of life we were having struggles with, and the fact that she could assess where we were at & what was happening, by how our house was, is amazing! She was able to offer simple, readily affordable solutions for us to be able to re-balance & lift the energies of our home, to then impact on our life; just a LIFE-saver!
And, as a wonderful off-shoot, in the past, I'd had no drive to furnish the house much, but now that I know what we do DOES have a REAL effect, I'm all fired up again to put the love back in where it belongs!

"Recently I had the honour of experiencing a shen session with Laura and as a result I have felt a sense of freedom both physically and emotionally. Laura has a gentle manner and a kind approach that allowed me to feel safe and secure with releasing present and past emotions.
I came to Laura in a state of shock and grief over a sudden tragedy within my life. Shen allowed me to re-connect back into my body and helped me to release the shock and grief I was feeling at that time. As a follow on from the healing I also received a Life Coaching session from Laura which has allowed me to integrate my experience and new awareness into my life.
Throughout both sessions I felt truly supported and cared for. Laura is a beautiful and passionate women who I believe works deeply on a soulful level. I will be eternally grateful for the healing, her presence and the gifts she has given to me within these sessions. Anyone who gets the opportunity to work with or alongside Laura will be truly blessed.
Namaste

"I've always been interested in Feng Shui but had trouble coming to grips with the concept from the little I did read - it all sounded far too complicated! After reading Laura's Nelson Mail article, curiosity got the better of me and I gave her a call - it would be interesting to see if she could do something about the constant chaos in our house! Using a to scale plan of our home and a compass Laura established exactly which areas related to which life areas and then using what we had, taking into account my likes and dislikes, we rearraranged items to fit more appropriately with the various elements and my desires. Laura actually gave me the confidence to do things I wanted to do and now when I'm buying something for the house, I have a much more defined idea of what I want. I guess for the sceptics amongst us, there's no way of really proving that Feng Shui has made the difference - but I can honestly say that since Laura's visit I enjoy our home more and my career has gone forward in leaps and bounds. Thanks Laura!

"After my first session of bio-cleanse I couldn't stand coffee and I was used to drinking it all day long. After my second session of bio-cleanse I couldn't stand beer, and I was used to having a bottle each night and a few at the weekend. I used to drink a bottle of wine each week. I still have no desire for any of these stimulants and two years have passed since my first bio-cleanse!"

"When I first contacted Laura, my husband of fifty four years had been dead just three years. I felt his presence in the house for over a year, also once at the cemetery which I found very difficult. I needed help with this one and so I contacted a Spiritualist. She told me he was trying to tell me to be happy and move on with my life. As time progressed I joined different clubs and learned to play Bridge. I had quite a social life, my family were very happy for me, but to me I was just filling in time and space. Then I met a man at bridge and we became good friends, I was starting to become very fond of him, but I felt terribly guilty. Emotionally I was a mess, I did not tell family or friends because of the guilt. It was then I contacted Laura. What a wonderful lady! She too told me Ray wanted me to move on, but I found myself speaking freely to Laura without embarrassment, she understood where I was coming from. Then Laura assessed the feng shui of my house explaining different areas relating to relationship, health, wealth etc. She recommended some personalised changes to help me let go of the past and create a new life. Following these through was a cathartic experience and the pain in my chest vanished and I could sleep at night again. Soon after I found the courage to hold my first party plan evening and made record sales. When someone comes to the house for the first time they say " What a nice feel this house has". Laura and Jim attended our garden wedding on the 7th of Feb, I am very happy and at peace with myself now. I will never be able to thank Laura enough.

"Laura Campbell's feng shui talks at Country Living Magazine's Spring Fair played a major role in the many positive comments we received."
Zoe Davis, Country Living Magazine, SECC

"I was thrilled with the work Laura and Jim did - My house had been on the market for 8 months with lots of people through but no offers. They made my house easier to live in and immediately after they had improved the entrance I received my first offer, which I turned down in hope of a better one. They carried out their proposed plans and worked creatively within a tight budget, 3 months later my house was sold and I could move on at last! Laura was knowledgeable and fun to work with - I highly recommend the services of Life Design.

"I had put a hedgehog in the middle of my collage: Laura asked me to describe what a hedge hog is to her as if she had never seen one before. I told her " they are small prickly creatures - only they don't mean to be prickly - they are only prickly because they are scared and don't want anyone to come close to them, but deep down they just want to be friends." Suddenly I connected this explanation with me; I knew I had been repelling people with my sharpness all my life, but couldn't stop myself, it was in that moment I realised I did that because I was scared and deep down wanted to be friends with them-My collage helped me discover the source of my key problem and for the first time ever I felt compassion for myself."
