Our Beloved Coaches

Laura Rice

Laura's passion for Relationship Coaching and the Path of the Beloved is based on her belief that unconditional self love is the basis for joyful relationships and a fulfilled life. 

Laura teaches women to learn to love themselves unconditionally and to come from a place of feeling whole and fulfilled exactly as we already are.  

Learning to receive pleasure as much as we give, we allow ourselves to feel more and more beautiful each day. Before Laura met her beloved, she had patterns of attempting to create relationship in her life as a means to feeling complete.  Laura struggled with feelings of loneliness, anxiety and fear.  

After many years of attending self-growth workshops, Vision Quest programs and extensive healing and unraveling of her own core negative beliefs, she began to attract relationships from the passionate, authentic and spunky woman that she is today. 

Laura has been happily married for five years and attributes the joy and divine rightness of her relationship to the love and respect she has for herself!  Laura holds a masters degree from the University of Oregon and is a Certified Life Coach.  After attending the Life Purpose Institute in San Diego, Laura discovered that her own life purpose is to empower women to manifest their ideal life and love; she’s helped dozens of women since then- and is enjoying every step of the journey!

Sylvia Valentine

Sylvia met her best friend and precious husband Paul when she moved to Santa Cruz in 2001 through mutual friends. They've been married for 3 years, share the same meditation practice and meditate together twice a day. Its a beautiful connection they share and something that brought them together on a spiritual level right from the start.

She's been doing relationship and personal coaching since 2005 when she graduated with her masters in spiritual psychology.

The main energy that underlies their delightful relaitonship is playfulness. comfort and ease. Wonderful communicators, they give to one other unconditionally and have fun and spread loving wherever we go.

Here is their wedding website from 2005, where they married and honeymooned on Kauai (they call it a "wedding moon"): www.thepaulandsylviashow.com
