On the floor with some cover around it so she has privacy, and yes, leave her completely. It can take many hours and being watched or disturbed mid-dig is how they abandon the attempt. Afterwards she will cover the eggs and be exhausted, so have food and water ready.

She is female and she is about to lay. Veiled females produce eggs without ever meeting a male, the eggs are infertile, and she still has to get them out. Digging, coming down off the branches, going off food and a rounder belly is the full set.
She needs a laying bin today rather than at the weekend. A container of moist packable sand, or sand and soil, damp enough to hold a tunnel shape without collapsing, deep enough that she can dig a proper tunnel. Keepers generally go from several inches to about a foot.
