Maybe your challenge is you’ve done well so far, but you just can’t seem to reach that next level.
Maybe you created this business so you could live the life you dreamed of, but now you just don’t seem to have the time to do anything other than work!
In fact, 82% of coaching businesses fail within two years.
There is no single reason, but one of the most common reasons is because the reality of running your own business often becomes something very different to what was in mind at the start.

Laura McDonald is a business strategist specialising in the holistic and wellness industry, with a focus on hypnotherapists, life coaches, yoga teachers, and similar professionals. Based in the West of Ireland, Laura is a hypnotherapist, coach, BWRT practitioner, trainer, mentor, and author, who brings nearly 20 years of experience to her work.
With a BA(Hons) degree in Linguistics and Literature, Laura went on to pursue hypnotherapy to better understand her own mind. She soon discovered the profound impact it could have on others and made it her mission to empower people with this knowledge.
Laura's client journey began in her birth place of North-West London, where she helped pregnant women quit smoking at the Kensington and Chelsea SureStart clinic. This led to her working at a wellness centre in Willesden Green, before relocating to Ireland, where she operated for 15 years from a holistic centre in Castlebar. After a further two years in her own premises in the heart of the town, she transitioned her business entirely online, allowing her to serve clients worldwide. Her extensive experience spans working with clients on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, fears, phobias, smoking cessation, confidence building, sports performance, hypnosis for childbirth and so much more.
In 2016, Laura established licensed training schools to teach others these transformative techniques, helping them qualify as hypnotherapists and BWRT practitioners. She has since organised numerous events, including businesswoman awards nights, and is a sought-after speaker at corporate networking events. Most recently, she spoke at the Irish Hypnotherapy Conference in April 2024. In September 2024 she will be speaking at the Network Ireland National Awards event in Kilkenny.
Laura's expertise has been recognized in various publications, including Woman & Home, Metro UK, House of Coco Magazine and Connaught Telegraph, and local radio.. Her meditations on the global Insight Timer app have been downloaded over 400,000 times, a testament to her ability to reach and resonate with a broad audience. She has received multiple awards for her contributions to hypnosis, wellness, and business.
Now, Laura focuses on helping wellness businesses thrive, combining her vast personal experience along with insights from TBSC to deliver exceptional results for both businesses and their clients.
When she's not working, Laura enjoys spending time with her husband, four children, and their dog—her favorite gang to be with on weekends.
