I’m Faye Lawand ✨🌟💫

Internal Conflict Resolution Expert, Nervous System Educator, Trauma-Informed Clinical Hypnotherapist, and winner of the Global Woman of the Year 2025 award.

If you’re a high-achieving woman in midlife who has already done the therapy, the apps, supplements, read the self-help books, listened to the podcasts and you’re still waking up tired, wired, or running on empty, this is for you.

I help women like you resolve the hidden internal chaos that drives chronic stress, anxiety, exhaustion, and symptoms that never shift with surface fixes so you can restore energy, confidence, and motivation in 3 months or less.

This isn’t therapy or mindset coaching and it isn’t about “managing” stress.

It’s about RESOLUTION.

Working at the level of the nervous system + subconscious mind where the real problem is created and stored.

My clients don’t come looking for more tips or coping strategies.

They come because they want their life back and they’re desperate to feel like themselves again:
• Mornings where they wake rested, clear-headed and ready to face the day.
• Days powered by steady energy that lasts.
• Quiet confidence to make decisions and set boundaries without guilt.
• Evenings filled with presence and genuine joy, not just relief that the day is over.

These shifts aren’t aspirational. They’re common outcomes of this work.

One client described finally sleeping through the night and feeling “like I’d won the lottery.”

Another shared, “Things that tormented me for years no longer have a hold on me.”
And one calls this work “counselling on steroids” - the kind of process that should be the first point of call for anyone serious about ending the cycle of mental exhaustion and overwhelm.

Others talk about reclaiming their voice, leaving toxic jobs, or simply enjoying mornings with their kids instead of dreading the day.

If you’re done with coping and ready for real resolution, you're in the right place.
Message me if you’re curious and want to learn more.

I’ll show you how this process ends the cycle and brings you back to the person you always sensed you could be in 3 months or less.

💙 The S-Word ... And It's Not What You Think It Is 💙
"Stop being so sensitive!"
"God, Faye, you're so sensitive ...."
"You can't go through life being so sensitive."

Sound familiar? Growing up, I heard these words a lot – from everyone around me!
Parents, teachers, siblings, friends, cousins and other family members.

SENSITIVE had a bad wrap! Being labeled as "sensitive" felt like a bad thing. And I tried to fight it for years.
Until I didn't and until I made peace with the internal battles, embraced all parts of myself and turned my struggles into my strengths.
Back then, sensitivity meant feeling everything intensely, picking up on vibes, and understanding the unspoken. It was tough, especially when others thought it was a flaw. I struggled, trying to fit into a world that said being sensitive was wrong.
Fast forward to today, and I've flipped the script. Being sensitive is my superwork, especially in the work I do helping others navigate their struggles. Feeling deeply allows me to connect with people on a profound level, to understand their emotions, and to create a space for healing.
So, here's to embracing our unique qualities and turning struggles into strengths.
Your turn now - How have you transformed a challenge into a superpower? Let 's talk about it in the comment section down below! 💬💪

I recently stumbled upon the gorgeous soul-soothing melodies of Karen Drucker which I'd love to share with you too.
If you're not familiar with her music, trust me, you're in for a real treat. Karen's tunes are like a warm hug for your ears, and they've become an integral part of my personal wellness routine. I match one of her songs to suit my mood every single morning and also at the beginning and end of every class I teach. I even prescribe her music to my private clients and they can't stop raving about it.
And just so you know, there's no financial gain in sharing this with you – it's purely a passion project because I genuinely believe in the power of her music.
Karen Drucker's songs are more than just a treat for your ears. For me, they feel like a mirror and a safe space for both our darkest and brightest moments on the journey toward healing and happiness. The songs are real, soulful and downright soul-stirring. I literally can't get enough!
Here are a few of my all-time favourite Karen Drucker tracks to kickstart your journey:
*** Breathe - Perfect for grounding and reminding your lungs to keep breathing through it all.
*** Gentle With Myself - Great reminder to be kind with yourself
*** To Be Here - Beautifully encapsulates the purpose of life: to be present, feel it all, and embrace your worthiness.
Just a note as you explore to always be mindful of the music you choose. Music has a profound impact on your nervous system – it can instantly shift you into past narratives or propel you into a space of positivity and inspiration. These tunes are guaranteed to do the latter, and you might catch yourself repeating their uplifting words throughout your day.
I hope you find great enjoyment and comfort in this beautiful music.

It's great to be back in my element, doing what I'm truly passionate about – teaching, coaching, and empowering others. Today, I'm here at College for a weekend course, and I'm thrilled to share a sneak peek with you from our training session.
I'm addressing a group of incredible professional women who, like many of us, are juggling the demands of a fast-paced, modern world. We all know how stress can be a constant companion in our lives, and that's why our discussion is so vital.
At the core of our conversation is the mission to dispel common myths surrounding stress and to understand why conventional stress management techniques often fall short in tackling the stress pandemic we're collectively experiencing worldwide. It's time to get to the root of the issue. In this video, you'll get a taste of the transformative content we covered over the weekend.
As a bonus, I'm thrilled to introduce you to my 3-step Mental Health Blueprint, a powerful tool designed to help you overcome poor mental health, exhaustion, and pain in 3 months or less without meditation, medication or talk therapy. Check out the diagram I've shared in the first line of the comment section for a visual guide on these transformative steps – save it, refer back to it, and integrate it into your daily life.

Many of you have reached out to me personally after my previous post about my time in Lebanon🇱🇧. One concern that seems to be on everyone's mind is the safety situation here. I truly appreciate your concern for my well-being – THANK YOU!

And I’d also like to address some of the misconceptions surrounding safety in Lebanon. 👇

If we define safety as the ABSENCE OF CONFLICT, then it's true that Lebanon🚫IS NOT completely safe. But then again nowhere on planet Earth is. Conflict is an inevitable part of human communities and relationships, it’s just that the conflict looks different in different countries. Take 🇫🇷France, for example. Would you consider France a "safe" country? Surprisingly, many people in Lebanon (during the summer of 2023) would regard it as much safer than France.

✅ Safety is a relative and contextual concept.

Now, if you're specifically asking about the safety in terms of ARMED CONFLICT, I can assure you that Lebanon IS safe. The armed conflicts here ended some time ago, although the potential for conflict still exists due to our location in a volatile region. Again, this assessment is relative and contextual. Many here would ask, are schools plagued by armed shootings in the 🇺🇸 US safe? Are dairies targeted by knife attacks and hammer assaults in 🇳🇿Auckland safe?

Safety is a relative and contextual concept. ✅

The idea that Lebanon isn’t safe is (in my opinion) a MYTH.

Throughout the years, I have encountered numerous myths about my birth country of 🇱🇧Lebanon. As a proud and passionate Lebanese, I have always enjoyed dispelling these myths.

Here are some of the main myths about Lebanon that I have been delighted to debunk over the years👇

❌1. MYTH: Lebanon is a desert.

In reality, we have mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, and beaches, but no desert. The landscape is very Mediterranean, similar to Italy, Cyprus, Greece, and parts of Spain. And because we don't have a desert, it also means we don't have camels, except for the zoo, of course!

❌2. MYTH: It doesn’t snow in Lebanon

I actually learned to ski in the mountains of Lebanon at the age of 11.

❌ 3. MYTH: Lebanon is a Muslim nation

In fact, Lebanon is a religiously diverse nation. We even had Jews in Lebanon until the turn of this century. I come from a Christian family.

❌4. MYTH: All Lebanese are terrorists

I could write a dissertation on this topic, but for now, you'll just have to take my word that this is not true. 🤓

This post is in no way intended to be political or controversial. It is a genuine message of thanks for your concern and a slightly different perspective on what you might be encountering through the media.

Your turn now – which of the myths above did you (or have you) believed to be true about Lebanon? Let us know in the comment section below👇 by dropping the number 1, 2, 3 or 4.

I've been away from New Zealand since April, spending quality time back home in Lebanon. It's been a bit of a juggling act between homes, time zones, and hemispheres, but overall, it's been wonderful to reconnect with my sense of home.
While enjoying Lebanon's stunning nature and gorgeous Mediterranean lifestyle, I've been keeping busy with my amazing clients. My schedule has been packed with online sessions, consultations, podcast interviews, group sessions, and in-person trainings and workshops.
I live in the mountains of Lebanon, where we have beautiful pine forests, cedar reserves, and juniper forests. Each one is unique and breathtakingly beautiful. When I'm not working or hanging out with family and friends, I love being outside and surrounded by the energy of the trees and the forests. Lately, I've been exploring a wellness practice that has become my latest obsession: OBSERVING FRACTALS IN NATURE.
I want to share a glimpse of my recent hiking trip among the stunning cedars of Lebanon. In this short 2-minute video, I'll walk you through the powerful practice of observing fractals in nature. It's a little-known technique that can shift your nervous system into a calm and confident state.
