Somatic Leadership & Career Coach
Helping Expat Women Move from Overthinking to Clear Action — Grounded, Confident, and True to Themselves.
Laura Ortiz, MSc, is a Psychologist, Somatic Coach, and the founder of Onward Somatic Coaching.
With over 10 years of experience in corporate HR leadership and coaching across multicultural
environments, Laura understands firsthand the inner pressures, transitions, and reinventions women often face when building a career or business abroad.
Today, she helps Spanish and English-speaking expat women in Europe reconnect with their inner clarity and confidence, not just through mindset, but by partnering with the wisdom of their bodies.
Through somatic coaching, the work goes beyond surface-level strategies to reshape how you lead, decide, and move — from the inside out. Because thriving abroad isn’t just about adapting to a new country; it's about building a new relationship with yourself
Unlike traditional coaching that focuses only on thoughts and goals, Laura guides you to access the intelligence of your nervous system and emotions, helping you create lasting change at the root level.
Using somatic practices, nervous system mapping, and body-led decision-making frameworks, Laura supports you in:
Regulating emotional overwhelm and uncertainty
Building embodied confidence
Leading yourself (and others) with more authenticity, clarity, and grounded power
When your body, mind, and heart are aligned, decision-making, leadership, and self-trust become second nature — even in a new country or a new chapter of life.
