I’m Laura,
And I help you get your confidence back after a breakup that stripped you of your dignity.
When your last breakup was a life ruiner (the kind that messed you up so badly, you don’t even know who you are anymore), getting “over it” isn’t so simple.
Nobody understands how much a narcissistic relationship destroys you.
But I do.
Which is why I help women like you trust themselves again. Using body-based coaching that retrains your nervous system to recognise what safety feels like and trust those signals.
Because after going the long way round to healing, I’ve learned: you can’t think your way out of trauma.
My last relationship proper fucked me up.
Nothing prepared me for that kind of breakup.
The worst part was the isolation. Feeling like I was the only one in the world who understood the pain I was going through.
And since 2019 I’ve been doing the work to recover from it:
💵 I’ve invested THOUSANDS in therapy and coaching.
📚 Devoured every book on healing and narcissistic abuse (the good, the bad, and the absolute shite)!
👩💻 Certified as a somatic trauma informed coach and narcissistic abuse specialist.
🤓 Studied somatic EMDR, parts work and breath-work.
🥋 And even earned my blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (no sorry, it’s unethical for me to offer to choke your ex—although imagine that as a service)!
I’ve had countless face-palm moments too, like:
“Oh, the silent treatment was a tactic to control me!”
“So that’s why every argument somehow ended up being my fault!”
“Wow, the lack of empathy was a real tip-off too!”
So I’ve already made the mistakes and wasted my time and money trying methods that don’t work.
I’m not just another self-help guru, copying lazy AI-generated text and calling themselves a coach – I know what works because I’ve lived it.
So the guidance I give you is deeply rooted in my personal experience. And I’ve paired it with my hard-earned wisdom to offer you the shortcut I wished I’d had:
An approach to healing that goes beyond just talking about what you need, and teaches you how to feel it instead.
This is for you if…
🙋♀️ Your brain is still replaying everything, even though you’ve left.
🙋♀️ You can’t believe you were so stupid to stay that long.
🙋♀️ You’ve lost your dignity, your self-worth and you have zero self-confidence.
🙋♀️ People keep telling you to just “get over it already”. (But you and I both know this wasn’t a “normal” breakup).
🙋♀️ The thought of having to meet another man makes you feel sick to the stomach 🤢.
If you’re getting a full house, you’re in the right place – because I’ve been there too.
I was exhausted, confused and terrified I’d never feel normal again.
But you don’t need to feel ready to start healing, you just need to take the next step. Because I meet you where you’re at.
So if you’ve already spent a small fortune on self-help and dabbling in talk therapy – and you’re not seeing real transformation – it’s because everything you’ve tried has been surface-level fixes.
And regular advice doesn’t cut it when you’re dealing with a breakup and the effects of abuse.
You need something different, that addresses the deeper wounds. And that gives you the guidance and consistency required to actually shift patterns.
And yes, I know you’re worried about wasting more money on something else that might not work. That fear makes complete sense after everything you’ve been through. Which is why I offer a money-back guarantee when you buy a coaching package with me.
Why somatic work?
Narcissistic abuse wires you to distrust yourself. You override gut feelings, dismiss red flags and shrink to fit someone else’s agenda.
But it didn’t just start there…
What came before the abuse—whether childhood dynamics, previous relationships, or cultural conditioning—paved the way for it. Those earlier experiences created the perfect foundation for a narcissist to exploit.
When you left, logically you knew you’d got out. But your body’s signals, like your shallow breathing, kept triggering the same predictions your brain learned during the abuse: threat.
This is why you can intellectualise everything that happened, but still find yourself unable to let go of his approval. It’s why you still doubt what happened and whether maybe you were actually the narcissist (PS you’re not). Because trauma IS a nervous system response, it’s not just in your mind.
So your toxic relationship, although unhealthy, became familiar to your brain. And your brain learned to predict ‘this is normal’, even if it wasn’t healthy. That’s why your nervous system treated it as your baseline.
So leaving and healing feels terrifying. Because your brain learned that this relationship (though toxic) was predictable. Now change means uncertainty. And your brain interprets uncertainty as potential danger, triggering the same stress responses you felt during the abuse.
Which is why a cognitive approach alone isn’t enough.
What somatic work does
Through body-based practices, you learn to:
✔️ Notice what’s happening in your body as it happens, so you can catch when your body’s warning you of danger that isn’t actually there anymore.
✔️ Practice new responses through your body, repeatedly, so your brain stops automatically treating everyday situations the way it learned to during the abuse.
✔️ Prove to your brain (through experiences) that you’re safe now, so it stops reacting like you’re still under threat.
This isn’t like talk therapy though…
Somatic coaching focuses on your intentions and how you can take action towards them. But with an emphasis on what’s happening in your body (read about the difference between somatic coaching and therapy here).
My honest and relatable approach helps you get clear on what’s keeping you stuck. And what steps you can take to start moving forward.
What you’ll feel like
Here’s what changes when we work together:
✔️ You’ll feel calm instead of constantly anxious and on edge.
✔️ You’ll trust yourself and know what you want without seeking everyone else’s approval first.
✔️ You’ll feel confident and worthy again, reclaiming the self-respect that was taken from you.
And most importantly, you’ll stop betraying your promises. You’ll validate your gut instincts and respond from a grounded place instead of constantly people-pleasing.
Why “Sallt” with two L’s?
I originally started this blog with my best friend, who’s also called Laura (LP), who’s also had a toxic relationship. But with a woman – female narcs exist too!
And the sea was one of our many childhood connections. We’d be out in the ocean for hours; weeing in our wetsuits and slipping off our boards! It was always the best time.
So when there’s two Lauras in the sea, the sea’s extra sal-lty!
Wait for it, there’s more…
Back in the day (not a historian so not sure how far back), salt was used to cure wounds. You’d rub it into a wound and it would sting like hell. But healing would always follow.
Just like facing the effects of your abuse might sting at first before it gets better.
Because somatic coaching asks you to feel what you’ve been avoiding and resisting, like the tension, the uncontrollable reactions or the heavy dread. And we salt it together, at your pace and with your nervous system calling the shots.
So I’m your sister who gets it. And I’ll never ask you “why didn’t you just leave?” Because (a) we both know it’s more complicated than that, and (b) that’s a fucking stupid and insensitive question.
