Hey there.
We’re Laura & Greg.
Pretty stoked that you’d check out this wee page and find out more about us. We have 2 gorgeous girls (Ayla who’s 3, and Brooke who’s 1) and moved to Nelson, New Zealand at the beginning of 2021. We had been living in Auckland for 6 years.
Some fun facts. We lived in the back of Greg’s parents barn in Kerikeri when we first got married. Kind of like a tiny home. We then stayed in 6 different houses in Auckland so know what it’s like to move around.
Laura is a lover of the outdoors, good food, adventure and parenting our 2 girls. Greg loves good conversations, business, family adventures & is getting into some new hobbies (mountain biking & golf.)
Laura has been an early childhood teacher, health coach, pastor & now is loving being a full time mum. Greg studied law & commerce and has been a pastor, and now helps coaches scale their impact through Online Courses.
Our pursuit of ‘Slow Living’ started a few years ago in 2018 (although we wouldn’t have called it that then) from a conversation in a coffee shop in Auckland. We both realised we were giving up things to make each other happy…but hadn’t spoken about it. After a big chat we listed what those things were, got some new awareness….and asked a brave new question.
‘What would it look like to design a week that we both loved, could repeat indefinitely, and never need to take a holiday from?’
The question of not taking a holiday immediately pointed us to the need for sustainable rhythms of rest in our week. It then led onto relationships, the pace of our life, parenting, and all the different areas listed under ‘Topics’ above.
It’s been an epic journey, still learning every week and adapting. As Covid has caused people to reconsider why they’re doing what they’re doing and what they really want…..we felt it was the key time to create a space to journey these questions and help others design a life they love.
That’s a bit about us. Look forward to hearing a bit about you.
Big love
Laura, Greg, Ayla & Brooke
