When Teams Show Up as Themselves
Great Work Follows
Why Help Your Team Self-Actualize?
Just like food and shelter, people need purpose, creativity, and a sense of growth. When workplaces support these deeper needs, everything changes—burnout fades, absenteeism drops, and a culture of ownership and innovation emerges.
Teams do better. So does the bottom line.
Investing in your people’s growth isn’t a luxury—it’s a business strategy. Companies that ignore this truth won’t stay competitive for long.
What I Do
I design tailored programs that help people grow—fast, meaningfully, and in ways that make them proud to be part of their team. Participants experience real personal growth, supported by their peers, creating stronger bonds and a healthier workplace culture.
What You’ll Learn
In a relaxed, energizing setting, your team will explore simple, science-backed tools to boost well-being, clarity, and energy—both at work and beyond. These practices are easy to use and even easier to stick with when learned together.
Why It Works
Open, meaningful conversations build trust and connection. As people understand themselves and each other better, curiosity, collaboration, and morale naturally rise—driving stronger team performance.
Flexible Format
Onsite, offsite, or in nature—your retreat is fully customizable. From half-day sessions to multi-day immersions, I handle all logistics, including optional activities like hikes or cultural outings.
Why Now
With 85% of employees disengaged, investing in emotional and mental well-being is more than the right thing to do—it’s a business priority. Today’s workforce expects psychological safety and genuine connection.
Why Me
With 20+ years in neuroscience, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence, I create experiences that drive deep growth and real team impact—transformations your people will remember and your business will feel.

Introducing
The 21-Day Challenge Journal
If you don't set the tone of your day, who will?
This spiral-bound journal is a gift for every participant in the challenge. Its purpose is to help participants stay committed to their goals and keep track of their progress. The journal prompts users twice a day to start journaling - a practice followed by many successful entrepreneurs, scientists, and other creative individuals for centuries to keep their ideas focused and organized.
TESTIMONIALS
It is my absolute honor to recommend Dr. Lara to anyone committed to mental health and wellness. Lara brings practical, down-to-earth knowledge and coping tools along with a very entertaining presentation style.
MARK TERRILL, Master Chair at TEC Canada
Insightful and engaging. A breeze of fresh air! Highly appreciated by all the members!
MARTIN DENARI, HOUSTON
Getting to know Lara was an absolute pleasure. Her approach to life is exhilarating and enlightening. She brings her extensive medical acumen along with her inspirational message on how to create a mindset that clearly positions leaders for success. While it is peppered with fun anecdotes and stories, its relevance is solid and purposeful. Our CEO group was riveted and engaged, and taken with the true combination of “head” and "heart."

Excellent, engaging speaker: good balance of neuroscience and engaging the group in doing the “practices” to reduce stress.
The monkey mind and the mountain mind resonated well.
All my members have made a commitment to the 21-Day Challenge.
It was clear to see the impact these practices can have on a personal and professional level!
