✨ AURA – Conscious Connection & Networking for Women ✨
Welcome to AURA — a high-vibe, conscious networking space for women who value connection, growth and meaningful relationships, both personally and professionally.
AURA was created from a genuine desire to bring together like-minded female founders, business owners and corporate women who want more than surface-level networking. This is a space to feel seen, supported and inspired — without pressure, pretence or awkward small talk.
🌿 Why AURA exists
AURA was founded by Nicola, a Positive Psychology Coach specialising in female empowerment and wellbeing. Positive Psychology is the science of happiness, fulfilment and human potential — and at the heart of this work is one powerful truth:
The quality of your life is deeply influenced by the quality of your relationships.
Nicola is passionate about creating a community where women can connect authentically, elevate their mindset and unlock their potential — supported by science, self-belief and shared experience.
✨ What AURA stands for
AURA is built on the values that help women truly thrive:
A – Align
Reconnect with yourself, your strengths and what makes you flourish
U – Unlock
Release self-doubt, fear and the beliefs that have been holding you back
R – Rise
Build confidence, resilience and a mindset rooted in self-belief
A – Attract
Create space for abundance, opportunity and aligned connections
💫 What makes AURA different?
We believe collaboration beats competition — every time. When women come together with intention, something powerful happens.
At AURA, you can expect:
• A warm, pressure-free, super-friendly environment
• Genuine connection (no forced pitches or awkward intros)
• A community that champions confidence, inclusion and fun
• A sense of belonging from the moment you walk in
Each month, we welcome a high-calibre guest speaker from the personal or business development space — and our speakers consistently receive rave reviews for their insight, energy and impact.
Our biggest USP?
✨ We truly care about people — and about building a community where everyone feels welcome.
