Meet The Collective
The Collective is held up by a core team of pioneers, activists and educators who are powering the rising women movement. We co-create, working with the awareness of our individual energies and unique powers to deliver the ever expanding offer to the world.
As a non-hierarchical team we represent the Collective at large - balance, empathy and creativity. Individually, we each offer something unique which is driving forward the mission of rising women.
Do you have something unique to offer the Collective? We would love to hear from you, please get in touch here
Laura - creator
The Wake Collective is a creation birthed by Laura Anne Chappell- a teacher, activist and healer - who, just like you, is navigating a complex journey through life. Her biggest vulnerability is being in groups of women, which led to the manifestation of The Wake Collective: creating a supportive community in which to share and speak our truth.
The Chakra System helped Laura to navigate the complexities of her mid twenties, and from that moment she began to deepen into her truth. Laura’s purpose is to demystify the chakra system and and bring to the mainstream as a means of education, enriched living and self empowerment.
Laura represents the feminine of our future, reshaping what it means to be a woman today, and on a journey to fully claim her personal power to make positive change in the world.
As a trained Yoga, Meditation teacher, and menstrual mentor, Laura holds gratitude for all of her teachers who have guided her on this journey, and for nature that continues to inspire her work
Laura offers one on one sessions in yoga, meditation and healing. Please click here for more information.
Sophie - The voice of the collective
With a passion for people, and authentic connection, Sophie works intuitively to provide space where people can tune into their inner wisdom. Through her work as an actress and training as a Body Harmony practitioner, Sophie connects with people on a soul to soul level. She recognises that we are not alone, and encourages people to be the truest version of themselves.
Sophie came to The Wake Collective on her own journey of self discovery. Her openness and heart led nature brought her together with like minded souls, to pioneer how we belong in community.
Sophie is the voice and and playful nature of the collective - her deep sense of empathy brings alive the emotion, and ensures that belonging is at the heart of everything we do.
Annlouise - producer and outreach
As Producer of The Wake Collective, Annlouise brings experience and a passion for creation, education and community. An activist, she champions change through her strong ethical values and open acceptance of every individual.
Annlouise came to The Wake Collective through Yoga and The Chakra programme, on a journey to deepen her understanding of herself and community. Bringing an evolved perspective to the collective, she challenges our thinking to ensure we are on the leading edge of the wellbeing industry.
