MEDITATION TEACHER & SOUL COACH
Join us on a “Journey Back to Self”—a full day woman’s meditation and spiritual retreat.
Over the course of the day, discover the three major themes the soul is here to learn while experiencing life in a physical body, and learn transformational tools to assist you in overcoming them so you can live a happier, authentic and more connected life.
This day retreat is for any woman seeking to develop a deeper connection and relationship with themselves, and their soul. Together, we will work to uncover all that holds you back from true self-love and feeling at peace and one within yourself.
We will guide you on a journey back to your soul—your true self.

Laurie Oakes
MEDIUM, SPIRITUAL TEACHER & INTUITIVE COACH
Spirituality and mediumship have been interests and passions of Laurie's from a very young age. She can recall receiving messages and images and pondering her soul’s purpose and path in this life from a young age, seeking to find the answers to her questions about the meaning of life outside of this experience in a physical body.
Her interest in spirituality grew and she then met her mentor and good friend, Dagmar Butler. Through her time and dedication, Dagmar guided Laurie step by step in learning mediumship, channeling and spiritual teachings. She shared with Laurie God’s teachings and helped her to understand what it means to live a more positive and happy life. With Dagmar's help, Laurie learned how to communicate, channel God, and trust in following His Guidance.
In 2020, Laurie was honoured with the opportunity to work in the Dagmar Butler School for Spirituality as a channel for two years.
Laurie's soul’s purpose is to work as a medium and help to lift others, as she was. She is honoured to hear and receive God’s guidance in all areas of her life. She has experienced and learned that when you walk with Him, you walk on solid ground.
