Laura is a psychospiritual guide and the founder of Divine Emergence, LLC—a space built for lasting transformation. With years of experience leading retreats, workshops, and healing ceremonies, her work brings together trauma-informed breathwork, nervous system regulation, and psychedelic-assisted therapies with a strong focus on integration.
Her approach is shaped by lived experience and deep study. After years of navigating anxiety, emotional shutdown, and survival-mode patterns, Laura found her way back through breathwork and nervous system repair. She now helps other women do the same—regulate their systems, reconnect to themselves, and build a foundation they can trust.
Her extensive training with Awakened Breath along with
ancestral medicine studies with Madhu Anand and the Family of Light has deeply informed her facilitation style. Combined with a background in psychology and family systems, Laura is equipped with the tools and insight to guide others through complex healing work with care and clarity.
She spent several years training hundreds of breathwork facilitators and retreat leaders through Awakened Breath before stepping away to focus fully on her own retreats and offerings—spaces that prioritize integration, nervous system support, and transformation that lasts.
Last year, she created EmpowerHER
—a women’s community designed for those just beginning their healing or spiritual journey. It’s a space to explore, learn, and reconnect—without pressure or pretense.This retreat is all about RECLAIMING! So, what do you wish to reclaim in your life?
Here at Chakaruna 11:11, everything will be taken care of from the moment you arrive in Guayaquil, to the time you head back.
We will pick you up from the airport and bring you to our beautiful property, where your journey begins. From the gorgeous surroundings to the thoughtfully curated and hand painted spaces, you’ll immediately feel the tranquility of this sacred land.
Settle into your cozy accommodations and take in the natural beauty around you. Our dedicated team will make sure you feel at home, so you can fully immerse yourself in the transformative experiences that will be available to you.
Throughout your stay, we’ll provide nourishing meals, guided practices, and plenty of space to connect with yourself and others on the same path. From group activities to personal reflection time, every moment is designed to support your healing and growth.
When it’s time to say goodbye, we’ll ensure your journey back to Guayaquil is just as seamless and supported as your arrival.
This beautiful private land offers a serene and secluded experience, featuring cozy private rooms and an exclusive maloca. A maloca is a traditional communal longhouse used by Indigenous peoples in the Amazon, serving as a sacred space for ceremonies, rituals, and healing. .
We will be touring seven different waterfalls and collecting water from each. Each one represents a different chakra or energy center in our bodies.
This is part of our reclamation process—a powerful journey of reconnecting with the elements, our bodies, and our truth.
You weren’t meant to walk this path alone. When powerful women come together in retreat, something incredible happens. Together, we rise higher, love deeper, and reclaim the parts of ourselves that were never lost—they were just waiting to be witnessed.

Last year I found myself in Tulum, out of my comfort zone and ready to do the work on the retreat. Laura is not only a breathwork facilitator; she’s a medicine woman, a friend, a guide, a facilitator, a healer and so much more. She led us through ceremonies with plant medicine. Her voice is powerful and as she leads you through your journey you feel safe and comfortable. And she knows exactly when you need one on one attention. She has a gift. To experience her in a retreat setting is the best investment you could make for yourself. I’d do it all over again!

Breathwork has transformed my life for the better. Doing this in a safe space with you has allowed me to live my most authentic and delicious life. I am going through subtle transformations everyday but I am now married to my breath. This work has brought me eternal peace that talk therapy never could. Attending the empower her events have also brought me out of my shell significantly and I have felt a deeper connection with all women around me at all times because of breath work and especially because of the events. Super grateful every day ❤️

Working with Laura as my breathwork and plant medicine facilitator at a recent retreat was a deeply healing and transformative experience. Her grounded presence immediately made me feel safe, seen, and held. The space she creates is intimate and sacred, allowing for true vulnerability. She is deeply curious and compassionate, always seeking to understand and support your healing journey. I felt her genuine desire to help me move past old traumas. During a particularly intense plant medicine journey, her attentiveness never wavered. She was right there with me—calm, grounded, and fully present. Her support helped me move through some of the most difficult moments with trust. I never felt alone in the process. Laura is a gifted guide, and I’m deeply grateful for the experience.
