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 Basics, The 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!
