My Name is Lara and I had a pretty easy and fun upbringing but hated school and going to sleep (because of friendly ghosts). I loved soccer, gymnastics, snowboarding and art as a child. I had strange experiences growing up and would watch “Casper The Friendly Ghost” on repeat. That movie always made me feel normal because in my reality I was struggling to comprehend why I was seeing, hearing and feeling dead people. I eventually buried that part of me and it would occasionally emerge in my teens when drinking or late night when I was alone.
I got my first job in a nursing home working in the Kitchen, I then progressed to a carer role at 17. I got exposed to death and dying fast in that role. I loved being there for individuals in their final moments providing them comfort and dignity. I felt natural in that environment, I was drawn to listening to my resident’s life tribulations, lessons, regrets, fears, achievements, and much more.
I was 21 and enjoying time in Canada snowboarding when my whole world got fractured. My beautiful Sis Jenna was diagnosed with a rare cancer and required emergency surgery. I was on my way back from Canada and made it in time however she ultimately died in 2012. I became very ugly, angry time-bomb after she died. I was into my second year studying Nursing but my grief took control and I started failing. I dropped out and threw myself into partying and drinking the pain away.
Thankfully my Sis sent me a healing man. I will never forget the first date we shared, it was one sign after another from her. My partner Jake and I ended up moving to Brisbane and shortly after we got gifted our son. This gave me light again.
I did a Beauty Therapy course while I had my little boy, but it never felt right. It was during COVID my abilities started to slap me in the face. I told my Jake I thought I was a psychic medium or just crazy? He was quick to test me and soon became a believer as I was connecting with his Nana Hannah and relatives on the other side.
Fast forward to today, with all my life experiences and obstacles, I am passionate about sharing my abilities and providing others with the opportunity to communicate spiritually. I strongly believe that without this connection, I wouldn’t be here. I am grateful to my Sis Jenna and guides for providing me perspective to move forward with grief.
With Love
Friendly Ghost
