Laura Madrigano

Like many Creative Entrepreneurs, I have several passions that I enjoy working on…

Mother to 2 boys, Designer, Creative Director and Small Business Creative Consultant and Heal SVT Naturally Coach

Fashion

I began my career at The Fashion Institute of Technology, and worked as a Fashion Designer in the heart of New York City in the 1990’s. I quickly grew into a Creative Director role and developed my own label.

Known for my ladylike “suits & dresses” I was popular in Dallas, Dubai, and lots of private label in between. My suits were particularly popular with media personalities and leading news journalists like Mary Hart and Ashley Banfield and my collection dominated the catalog suit business of Saks, Barrie Pace, Neiman Marcus and more. 

I pioneered the “Made in NYC” movement which supported artisans, sewers and factories in the trade to produce work locally, without going overseas, and even built a space within my loft to house one of my factories which enabled me to produce at lightening speed and support local sewers with appreciation and quality jobs and compensation.  

After shipping in excess of 14 million dollars with the Laura Madrigano brand, I re-focused to a more “one of a kind” business model and began creating bespoke altered couture pieces which suited my passion for less production and an emphasis on craftsmanship, couture sewing skills, and an appreciation for vintage treasures. This also suited me as I get into my new motherhood role. 

Yes its true, this NYC girl really did fall in love with a farmer, and my collection “Farm Charm Couture” was born, 

An unexpected twist…

During my fast paced lifestyle days in NYC at the age of 26 years old, a health condition called SVT, (supra ventricular tachycardia), came on suddenly and worsened during my early motherhood years. Using my lifelong interest in Holistic medicine and a mind-body-spirit approach, I refused pharmatucials and went dow a self-healing path which included everything from dietary changes, inner child healing work, journaling, acupuncture and more! 

During my journey, I beam a Board Certified Spiritual Coach, went to The Institute of Integrative Nutrition (originally located in the heart of the Fashion District).  and started a blog www.HealSVTnaturally.com which has become the leading resource on the internet for an alternative healing approach for SVT and opting out of medication or ablation surgery.  I became a respected leader in the SVT community and have written several digital books/e-guides on the subject; Heal SVT Naturally: The BasicsThe SVT Prevention Diet, SVT & Gluten Free and “Episode Empowerment”.  I am currently finishing my main book and on-line healing course called The Heal SVT Naturally Approach due out in 2025.

I have since used my coaching and understanding of the importance of doing personal inner healing work to facilitate our true hearts desires and now coach other creative entrepreneurs to do the same. I love to use creative and spiritual tools to assist in this process.

I currently have a design studio at the farm, a brick and mortar gift boutique and have incorporated Creative Direction Services into my list of offerings. 

I am the mother of 2 beautiful young boys, ages 12 and 5 and resides in NJ, USA. (OMG now they are 10 and 17!) time flies!

Testimonials
“Words can barely express the depth of insight and wisdom I have experienced as a result of working with Laura Madrigano as my life coach. She is a very gifted and inspiring person. Working with Laura has been life-changing. Beginning at a stressful point in my life journey, Laura helped me proceed beyond my expectations!”
Joanne

“How can I put into words what Laura has meant for me?

I met her through a free summer book club she was hosting.
On the way out I noticed a flyer with few packages she offered and I thought “Wow, I could actually afford a life coach!”
I had been to therapists over the years but felt we were always rehashing what was “wrong”. I was coping with loss, feeling isolated, stuck, defeated– when alI I wanted was to forge forward in a positive, inspired way. That’s what working with Laura has done for me.
We do everything from visualizations that have helped me manifest friendships, to helping me map out a business idea I have been struggling to “launch”.
I leave her office feeling connected to my spirit and at the same time very grounded. My daughter even came to Laura’s recent Vision Board Event.
It may not all be in place yet, but I now have the courage to follow my inner voice.”
Jennifer

“”Last time I wrote, I mentioned that I was considering an ablation. I took all your advice and started drinking lots of water and going gluten free. In the meantime, the electrophysiologist postponed my appointment not once but twice. I took this as a sign not to go down this road. I’m so glad I opted not to have the ablation. I’m feeling great. I hardly ever get palpitations anymore and when I do get a flutter, I go straight for a big glass of water. I’ve even went back to yoga classes! I’ve only had one episode in the past month and I was able to break it on my own. I am so grateful that I found your website when I did. I was actually looking for information on ablations when I stumbled upon your website. Funny how the universe works:-). Thank you so much for all your valuable information!!”
