Dany – ‘Laetitia blends a lovely mix of fun, creative inspiration and gentle encouragement’
When Laetitia approached me to find out if she could be of any support to me with the writing of my book, I wasn’t sure I needed help. I felt confident in my ability to write as I had a lot of experience creating programmes which required workbooks to go with them. I also knew that I had the discipline to maintain motivation throughout the writing process.
After consideration, the reason I chose to do the Birth Your Book Programme was that I wanted to ensure my book didn’t just feel like a larger version of a workbook.
I found it very valuable to chat through writing ideas with Laetitia and really appreciated how she would also follow up with additional thoughts on a topic we’d been discussing, as she processed the ideas further in her mind between sessions (the tag line for my book being a fabulous example of this).
Laetitia blends a lovely mix of fun, creative inspiration and gentle encouragement with practical steps for self-publishing.
Laetitia also recommends trusted people you need on your ‘book birthing team’, for such things as editing, proofreading, formatting and book cover design – all saving time and energy.
Laetitia leaves you in no doubt that she is as passionate about you getting to the point of birthing your book as you are, and although I did not initially feel like I ‘needed’ to work with Laetitia, I am glad I trusted my instincts as it was 100% the right decision to do so.

Anna – ‘I’m so grateful to Laetitia for the help and inspiration she’s given me’
Before working with Laetitia, although I had started the writing process, it felt heavy and uncomfortable. I wasn’t enjoying writing and I was avoiding working on my book despite knowing it was what I wanted and was being called to do. Laetitia helped me to recognise what was holding me back from writing and then enabled me to free myself from those blocks using EFT and other techniques.
I would say that the fears and anxieties that I held were completely eradicated. I no longer worry about what others’ opinions of my writing might be and I feel free to express what I want to say in the way that feels true to me.
Laetitia has also helped me to structure my book and break down the chapters into clear and manageable chunks, making the writing process feel light and enjoyable. The end is in sight for writing my final few chapters. I have a plan in place and a routine to my writing.
I’m so grateful to Laetitia for the help and inspiration she’s given me, moving me from overwhelm into ease with writing my book. I would highly recommend to anyone who feels at all stuck in their writing to speak to Laetitia about how she could help them.
UPDATE AFTER PUBLISHING THE BOOK
I’m so grateful for your support. I’ve been reflecting on the difference it made. My mentorship members asked me if I’d found the process stressful and I can honestly say that I didn’t. I did at times feel frustrated that it was taking me so long, when others can produce a book much more quickly. But in all honesty it wouldn’t be as good if I had rushed it, so I’m glad I took the year or so to write and publish it.
The sessions we had were so so helpful, motivating and calming, and the links to meditation and the moon were super powerful for my creativity.

Helen – ‘what I receive is always pure gold, I highly recommend all her services’
Laetitia is so great at seeing what you can’t see for yourself and at guiding you through the darkness that book writing can be sometimes. Her structure, title and chapter ideas are endless, and she can help you separate the wheat from the chaff really effectively, clarifying what was muddled and bringing to the fore what is important. Her editing and proofreading skills are fabulous, making whatever you’re writing sharp and clear.
I often ask her for advice and ideas on particular topics and what I receive is always pure gold, I highly recommend all her services.

Kim – ‘Laetitia is like the fairy we all need – just ask, she can do it’
I was completely stuck in my business, I didn’t know how to move forward. I contacted Laetitia because she had been recommended to me and I could see how creative and inspired she was in her various ventures. I realised I needed allllll her services, including book doulaing!
She helped me by working on my Archetypes (all of them!) and Human Design and what I really wanted in my business. It’s a small local business but I really needed lots of ideas to make all the changes I wanted to make. Laetitia is like the fairy we all need – just ask, she can do it. She proofread some of my materials (leaflets, business cards), gave me ideas for my e-book (which saved me so much time – I didn’t have to explain everything to each of my clients, I could just hand them my e-book!), she edited and proofread it too, and her ideas for how to set up my office and organise my business hours (and my writing hours!) as well as her money mindset mentoring (so that I could make those changes!) were invaluable. Thank you, Laetitia!

Emily – ‘a big thank you for holding the space and for supporting me with ideas’
I was feeling stuck with my next steps in my business and feeling overwhelmed, stressed and emotional. The day worked really well for me. I was so emotional that I wasn’t sure I had picked the right day, but the way it unfolded was just right. I want to say a big thank you for holding the space and for supporting me with ideas for my business and how to move forward with it, and also with my writing and my money fears.
I now feel more able to handle everything and I had some insights which make everything a bit clearer for me, most notably around my emerging writing style. I am excited at seeing my poems coming together (you editing one of them on the day was really helpful) and the money exercise really helped me alleviate my money fears.
Thank you so much for this valuable day.

Joy – ‘Laetitia is the woman you should go to. I hope you find that her enthusiasm for your growth and projects are as helpful and transformative as I have’
Thank you so much for your gentle understanding and encouragement over the last year or so, with our ‘Birth Your Book’ and ‘Birth Your Business’ sessions, Laetitia. I feel that I’ve been coaxed and supported on an incredible journey of recognising many blockages in some areas of my life and self – and then using some of your suggested techniques to clear them. How do you have the knack of knowing what I was needing to talk about and move forward with, haha??! 🙂
‘Thank you’ doesn’t say enough really …
I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t done those initial sessions with you back at the end of 2019 – I don’t think that I would have had the courage to leave the bank if I hadn’t done them then! I will always treasure finding you through Z. and for opening my mind and my eyes to what is really living for me (not everyone else), and so much more. You are a truly special lady.
So, dear reader of this page, if you’re thinking of writing your book or creating your business, Laetitia is the woman you should go to. I hope you find that her enthusiasm for your growth and projects are as helpful and transformative as I have.
Joy, editor, proofreader and writer
Hannah – ‘just knowing that you’re there to support me has given me a lot of confidence’
Thank you so much for your help. I’ve been thinking a lot more about my book, I can see how all the chapters are going to flow now, and just knowing that you’re there to support me has given me a lot of confidence and has made me feel so much better about the whole book-birthing process.

Rena – ‘they simply need Laetitia to coax them along their own journey. She truly is an amazing Book Doula’
Laetitia is a guide, a coach, a mentor who helps people work things out for themselves in their own time. They don’t need a path to follow, they don’t need signs to tell them which way to go and what to think and what to do. They simply need Laetitia to coax them along their own journey. She truly is an amazing Book Doula.
