Meet Lauren

I founded The Ayla Network and Ayla Coaching in 2022 because I believe that women deserve more spaces to be seen, heard, and find their networks.

Ayla is about anyone who identifies as a woman, not only those assigned this gender.

I am a qualified Certified Professional Coach.

I have a background in youth work and mental health in project development and leadership roles, in the UK and Aotearoa.

I have been coaching unofficially for 10 years and officially since June 2022.

On a personal note, my pronouns are she/her and I am a member of the queer community.

I love losing myself in a good book, hiking in the bush or by water fills me up, and Queer Eye, international travel, and cheese are my weaknesses. I have a little one who adventures with me and my partner.
