In this episode of Being Human, host Alun Walker sits down with Laurie Coburn, a dynamic force in Scottish chiropractic, coaching and community leadership. Laurie shares her remarkable journey from performing arts and professional singing to sheep-shearing with her father, before discovering her calling in chiropractic through Tweed Chiropractic Clinic in the Scottish Borders.

She opens up about finding purpose, reconnecting with her roots in Gala Shields, and how working alongside Donald Francis shaped her path into practice management, coaching and public speaking. Laurie explains how her varied life experiences, resilience and love of people led her to thrive as a CA, eventually co-founding Luminate—a coaching group dedicated to empowering chiropractors and front-desk teams across the UK and beyond.

Alun and Laurie explore the importance of mindset, the power of community, and why authentic connection is the foundation of great chiropractic care. Laurie also talks about Luminate’s vision, their coaching philosophy, upcoming seminars, and how they support practices to grow in a way that’s aligned, principled and deeply human.

If you're a chiropractor, a CA, or someone passionate about personal growth and purpose-driven work, this conversation will leave you inspired and energised.
