Laura Murphy founded WayfinderWoman in 2013, beginning in her garage with a simple aim: to create a space where women feel seen, supported and able to rediscover who they are.

An experienced coach and organisational development specialist, she has worked nationally with the NHS Leadership Academy and across public sector organisations. Recognised with a Points of Light Award and leading the charity to a Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, Laura now advises the Board and continues to volunteer as a Peer Supporter and speaker.

Katie has over 12 years’ experience working in the charity sector alongside inspiring people, teams, and organisations. Her work has centred on communication, training, and behaviour change, driven by a passion for strategy and for supporting kind, inclusive workplaces where people can thrive and organisations can achieve meaningful impact. Alongside all of this, she’s also a Registered Public Health Nutritionist.

Outside of work, you’ll find Katie hiking with her spaniel, reading, or playing the ukulele!
