About

MY NAME IS LAURA WITHAM - THE HUMAN BEHIND THE CALM AF - IM A COMPLIMENTARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (CMA) ACCREDITED PRACTITIONER WITH DIPLOMAS IN BREATHWORK, GROUNDING AND MEDITATION

I CREATED

A WELLNESS SPACE FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT THINK THEY'RE "WELLNESS PEOPLE"

NO PRESSURE TO HAVE YOUR LIFE TOGETHER, SIT PERFECTLY, KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING, DRINK GREEN JUICE EVERYDAY - NO TEACHERS PETS HERE. COME STRESSED, COME TIRED, COME CURIOUS, COME EXACTLY AS YOU ARE... BECAUSE HONESTLY... I CREATED THE SPACE I WISH I'D FOUND WHEN I NEEDED IT MOST

MY JOURNEY

MY JOURNEY INTO SOUND THERAPY & WELLBEING WASNT A STRAIGHT LINE. I DIDNT WAKE UP SURROUNDED BY CRYSTALS, SAGE, PERFECT MORNING ROUTINES AND FLOATING ON A PEACEFUL CLOUD TO ALDI. FROM WORKING AS CABIN CREW, ONLY FOOL & HORSES DEALING MY HANDBUILT FURNITURE OUT MY TRUCK - IN MY FANCY SUIT BEFORE A FLIGHT (CREW CALLED ME "FERAL BERYL"). TO DELIVERING CARPARTS, OFF-ROAD INSTRUCTING- I LOVED BEING HANDS ON, MOVING & GROOVING. I WENT ON TO BUILD AND RUN A SMALL FARM CREATED FROM RECYCLING AND REPURPOSING. I TAUGHT MYSELF SKILLS IN CONSTRUCTION, CARPENTRY, HORTICULTURE AND ANIMAL CARE. - ALONGSIDE WORKING IN THE FAST-PACED, HIGH PRESSURE FILM INDUSTRY. I WORE BUSY LIKE A BADGE OF HONOUR UNTIL EVENTUALLY MY BODY HAD OTHER IDEAS

THE BURNOUT BIT

SUFFERING WITH CHRONIC STRESS, BURNOUT, POOR DIET, LACK OF REST AND TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS. I HAD A BROKEN NOSE, EYE SOCKET, CRUMBLING FEET & GASTRIC SURGERY DUE FOR YEARS, I HAD OFFICIALLY BURNT OUT - MY BODY FORCED ME INTO THE ONE THING I HAD AVOIDED...SLOWING DOWN! WELL ACTUALLY DARN - RIGHT STOPPING..

AT 30, I FOUND MYSELF WITH A CRASH TEAM IN MILTON KEYNES, I HAD A IMPENDING SENSE OF DOOM FOR MONTHS BEFORE (YOU HEAR OF IT- IT REALLY IS A THING). I HAD A LIFE-THREATENING HEALTH EVENT THAT LED ME TO REASSESS EVERYTHING AND LEAVE THE LIFE I WAS LIVING

THE CHANGE

I FOUND MYSELF IN THE VAN WITH MY DOG HARLEY AT ROCK BOTTOM AND SET OUT A PLAN TO GET BACK ON MY FEET. ALAS... I ENDED UP PUSHING AGAIN TO TRY GET BACK TO IT- YEAH.. MINDSET AND HABITS ARE THE HARDEST TO BREAK. I FLIPPED SOME CANAL BOATS EVENTUALLY BRICKS & MORTAR. I SPENT ANOTHER YEAR HAVING SURGERIES, FIXING THE DAMAGE FROM MY TEWNTIES. RECOVERY WAS SLOW, PAINFUL AND HUMBLING- IT FORCED ME TO STOP RUNNING ON ADRENALINE AND ACTUALLY LEARN HOW TO LOOK AFTER MYSELF. DURING THAT TIME I IMMERSED MYSELF IN UNDERSTANDING THE HUMAN BODY, NUTRITION, NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION, ENERGY HEALING, SOUND THERAPY AND BREATHWORK.

FOR THE FIRST TIME WELLNESS WASN'T JUST A "NICE IDEA" - IT WAS WHAT HELPED ME COPE, RECOVER AND REBUILD PROPERLY.

IT LIT A FIRE IN ME, WHAT I HAD BEING STUDYING CHANGED MY LIFE AND HEALTH, THATS WHY I CREATED THE CALM AF - A GROUNDED, NON - JUDGY SPACE FOR ANY TOM, DICK OR HARRY WHO ARE TIRED OF PUSHING THROUGH - READY FOR A REAL REST, REGULATION AND PAUSE

I WAS SO WILDLY APPREHENSIVE ABOUT WELLNESS SO I PRIDE MYSELF NOW ON CATERING FOR THE WELLNESS PEOPLE WHO ARE IMTIMIDATED BY WELLNESS

COME GET CALM AF - MOST PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW THEY NEED IT UNTIL THEY GET IT...

THE FUTURE IS EXCITING

MY DREAM IS TO CREATE A CANAL BOAT STUDIO TRAVELLING BETWEEN APSLEY-BERKHAMSTEAD-TRING AND LEIGHTON BUZZARD. AFTER RESTORING TWO BOATS, I UNEXPECTEDLY FOUND A LOVE & STILLNESS FOR BEING ON THE WATER. THE SPACE WILL OPEN OPPURTUNITIES FOR TALENTED INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE WELLNESS COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER, SHARE KNOWLEDGE & OFFER THEIR GIFTS TO THE WIDER COMMUNITY.

THANKS TO THE RECENT SALE OF MY HOUSE, THIS BOAT WILL BE A FIRST OF ITS KIND, PURPOSE BUILT WITH ACCESSIBILITY AT ITS HEART! INSPIRED BY SO MAMY INCREDIBLE PEOPLE I'VE MET ALONG THE WAY- AND MY PIRATE DAD (THE ONE LEGGED LEGEND!) I WANT TO CREATE A SPACE WHERE NOBODY FEELS LIKE THEY'RE WATCHING LIFE FROM THE SIDELINES. CALM, CONNECTION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE

"I WAS THE LEAST LIKELY WELLNESS PERSON.. WHICH IS WHY I BUILT A WELLNESS SPACE FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME".

WELLNESS FOR PEOPLE INTIMIDATED BY WELLNESS
