Meet Lara

The Creator behind Destination Namaste
I have always gravitated towards creativity in whatever shape and form and love creating and collaborating on unique events, projects and retreats with others. There is something magical about something starting out as an idea and then bringing it to life and seeing the profound impact it has on others.
I am Lara, Originally from South-Africa but I have lived and spent time in various places across the globe. I am currently settled in the South of France near Nice.
I am also a certified Somatic Relationship Coach, ABS certified Sexologist and Embodiment Teacher @lara_lark_coaching. With over 15 years experience in hosting and organising events, I went from hosting events to guiding others in hosting theirs.
Throughout my years of working with coaches, yoga teachers, artists, dancers, chefs creating events, I have gained extensive experience in offering guidance and support to facilitators, companies, space owners and private clients to create their own unique retreats and events.
I help wellness professionals to sharpen their vision, find their voice to create their own unique events and offerings. Including, the practical, financial, logistical and organisational aspects that are often overlooked.
My experience has given me the opportunity to work closely with owners of retreat spaces, hotels, guesthouses as well as a vast array of facilitators, where I have assisted in getting their own events off the ground and running smoothly. Or helping them connect with the right people or spaces for their specific needs.
As the wellness industry continues to expand rapidly, there is a need to adapt and grow quickly but there is not always sufficient knowledge of the industry and what is available as an outsider. Being a coach myself and constantly staying on top of the changes in the field, I really can offer clients in depth knowledge and a creative perspective to create something unique and cutting edge for them.
I look forward to connecting with you to see how we could work together, Lara

Testimonial
“To be in a coaching session with Lara is to step out of your head and come back into your body. Lara guides and evokes. Her voice alone is activating on a cellular level. A part of me that was still, forgotten and dormant, came alive in one of her coaching sessions and what I thought was stuck or dead changed into a kinetic empowering potency that I can now allow to ripple through my life.Lara is astute, strong and direct and also so gentle. Combining talking, breath-work, visualisation, words, experiential practices, empathy there is no place she can not meet you. She will tickle new feelings and ideas into your awareness, stimulating growth and possibilities. Lara brought me from uncomfortable to a point where I feel safe enough to explore what I didn’t know I wanted, safe enough to let myself want what I want. If you yearn for something, find yourself longing to expand and deepen your relationships, your creativity and experience of self, spend time with her. ”
