THE Business Coach for Vibrant Women Growing a Business you LOVE! | Coaches, Consultants, Course Creators & Creatives | Founder Totally You | Global Speaker | Super-connector & Sisterhood | Mum of 3

You deserve a business where you work with your dream clients, earning the income you want to and enjoy the freedom you crave.

You're bloody brilliant at what you do, whether that be coaching, consulting or creating.  

BUT, you get stressed out with the sales & marketing side of things as you've never been shown how to attract, nurture & convert your dream clients in today's fast-paced and highly competitive world.  

If you worked in corporate for years, like me, there was always teams of people to do that & experts you could talk to solve problems, right?! 

Now, out in the wild west of entrepreneurship, you find yourself lonely and overwhelmed, not being able to prioritise the money-making activities that will help you to grow your much needed business and keep attracting those dreamy clients!  

This is where I come in my love (yes, I'm from the north of England and love a 'darling, sweetheart or love!').
  
I created Totally You as a movement to ignite vibrant women to grow a profitable business that does great, feels great, and IS great! 💜

I work with female business owners like you to grow your business and protect your sanity & energy as you achieve your wildest dreams! 

⚡Sisterhood is my jam so please come along to one of our free monthly super-connector sessions to ignite your network with fabulous women who will cheer you along every step of the way!  https://www.laurabrunton.com/networking.
⚡You're going to love my  Group Coaching Programme, the Ignited Accelerator which helps you to grow and stabilise those £5k+ months, supported closely by me and the most incredible women in business |(£2k+vat): https://www.laurabrunton.com/accelerator-2-0.

As a mum of three young children, I know all too well how all-consuming growing your business can be and how high the stakes are for you: failure is not an option, nor is spending 7 hours a day on LinkedIn & having coffee chats with people who just want to 'pick your (considerable) brains.'  

I'd love to show you the exact steps to magnetise your dream clients, confidently sell your fab services an feel like you are truly building something special.

High energy, hugs and the most incredible experiences are guaranteed when we join forces!
