My Journey:
Helping Others Thrive Through Life’s Challenges
Hello! I’m Lora, the founder of Empowered at Work, a Social Worker and a passionate wellness advocate. I’m here to help individuals and businesses unlock their potential through workshops and personalised support. My journey into this work has been shaped by a deep passion for helping others and an ever-evolving path that’s led me to a variety of roles, experiences, and lessons along the way.
From Switzerland to Australia: A Journey of Growt
I’m originally from Switzerland, a place that instilled in me a strong work ethic and a deep respect for personal well-being. But like many people, life had other plans, and I found myself in Australia, navigating the challenges of being a migrant learning a new culture, adapting to a new language, and balancing the demands of starting fresh in a foreign land. This experience gave me a resilience I didn’t know I had, and it sparked a desire to help others navigate their own challenges, whether personal or professional.
A Passion for Helping and Healing
From a young age, I’ve always felt a sense of fulfillment in helping others. Whether it was offering guidance to a friend or stepping into roles where I could provide care and support, I knew that my purpose was to make a positive impact on people’s lives.
That led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, and along the way, I gathered numerous qualifications in areas such as mental health, coaching, resilience, and stress management. I’m not just a certified healer, but also someone who has walked the path of personal growth and transformation. My own journey as a step-parent and my experience of moving across countries has given me invaluable insight into the challenges we all face in our personal and professional lives.
A Holistic Approach to Wellness and Work
With my diverse background, I offer more than just one type of support. Whether through burnout prevention, stress management, effective communication, or resilience building, I design customised workshops that address the unique needs of teams and individuals. I believe that achieving balance, well-being, and success at work starts with an understanding of ourselves, our emotions, and how we relate to others.
In each of my workshops, I combine evidence-based practices with a personal, empathetic approach, rooted in my own experiences of overcoming challenges. My goal is to provide individuals and businesses with the tools to thrive both at work and in life.
Why I Do What I Do
Helping others has always felt like a calling and every new challenge or experience only strengthens my commitment to this work. What motivates me most is seeing the transformation in others. When a business or individual comes to me feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, and leaves with the confidence and tools to move forward, I know I’m making a difference.
I understand that life and work can be overwhelming at times. But I truly believe that with the right support, everyone can rediscover their passion, balance, and purpose whether it’s through personal growth or creating a more positive, collaborative workplace.
Let’s Work Together
If you’re looking to improve your work environment, prevent burnout, or simply strengthen your personal resilience, I’d love to connect. Together, we can create a path forward that aligns with your goals and helps you or your team thrive in both life and work.
A Little More About Me
Outside of my work, I’m passionate about Pilates and breathwork - two practices that have deeply influenced my own well-being. Pilates helps me maintain a strong body and a calm mind, while breathwork has taught me the power of intentional breathing to reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance emotional clarity. I believe in leading by example, and these practices are integral to my own work-life balance.
Life is a journey, and I’m committed to helping others navigate it with strength, clarity, and a sense of purpose -whether through workshops, personal coaching, or my own well-being practices.
