Oh heyy!
I’m Laura, the idea behind SOULSIS was built through my own experiences travelling the world, seeking deeper friendships and wanting to try new things, I’m just a curious soul!!! ⭐️
I wholeheartedly believe challenging ourselves independently, especially as women, is so important for our self confidence and wellbeing. Whether it’s simply trying a new hobby or going to that new cafe alone, or embarking on an adventure across the world, confidence is not found it is built through leaving your comfort zone.
Oh heyy!
Everything SOULSIS has become, was quietly blossoming in the back of my mind since 2020, when I decided life was too short to wait around for others and I took my first solo trip to Italy. Meeting the most incredible girls also ‘doing the thing’ it really inspired me to share my experiences with others online.
I’d later solo travel around the world, through Europe, Asia and Australia. I adored the feeling of learning about new cultures, people and their backgrounds. It puts into perspective how small our individual problems really are, it was a euphoric and freeing adventure.
Through the lense of a woman who leaves her comfort zone constantly, I spent 2025 learning to teach yoga (another passion of mine) and curating unique wellness events that are designed to connect you with your tribe, your sisterhood.
In 2026, we’ve grown. We’ve hosted UK wellness retreats and have taken our girls abroad for adventurous group trips around the world. It comes full circle, I want every woman to have the life-changing escapism I had, without the “how do I even do this?”.
Coming up for 2027, I’ve designed more events, retreats and incredible group trips based on my own experience in each destination. We aren’t a tour operator taking you to an Instagram spot, we aren’t another wellbeing retreat with the same standard schedule. We’re building a boutique wellness company that focuses on intimate and intentional settings, each detail is uniquely crafted based on what I know our community needs.
I genuinely understand how daunting it is to trust yourself and do things alone, that’s why I know exactly what you’ll need from us and how to give you that. SOULSIS offers a place of belonging, you’re far from a number to us, but a real friend! The destination or event activity is important to us, but how you feel when you’re there is what creates memories to be cherished.
Running a business as a beauty therapist for over 8 years, I’ve held a safe space for women to open up to me day in day out. You soon realise we’re all seeking the same things. We all have pivotal moments in womanhood that change us no matter how old we are, leaving us seeking more. That’s where our SOULSIS community bridges the gap between your inner knowing and unfolding what’s on the other side.
I knew something had to change back home, the UK, in places like the North East, where quiet towns can dim our light and limit opportunities. We need experiences to impact us, a community to thrive in, spaces to meet likeminded women and leave our comfort zones on our doorstep.
