Hi, I'm Laura

Having struggled with weight my whole life it was very damaging to my self esteem. It shaped almost all aspects of how I behaved including how I learned to earn acceptance by abandoning myself and my needs and trying to satisfy the needs of others. Falsely believing if I could keep the peace, I’d be needed and worthy of their love. This transferred across all avenues of my life including my work. I loved helping people and considering my own weight struggles I wanted to help people lose weight, so I became a personal trainer. But when my clients weren’t satisfied with the results I pursued further education as a nutrition specialist. That led to fantastic results…… but not lasting results, which was when I eventually found my calling, coaching. Around that same time I had several struggles in my personal life that exasperated my original survival behavior to a level that I considered taking my own life. Ironically it was the pain I would potentially inflict on others that stopped the action. 

 

Thankfully however, it inspired an alternative action, one of reclaiming authority over my life. To be honest the journey was scary, emotional, empowering and freeing. It was well worth it and I’d do it again to get the freedom I’ve earned, but it was challenging. It reiterated a long held belief I’ve preached- if it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you- which then became the blog I planned on starting. It didn’t take long for that blog to turn into a business as I started to share my knowledge with my clients and started seeing the very same results I was having, in them. I was finally delivering lasting health in their body and their mind. It provided clarity, helping me see that I’d been approaching health the wrong way, from the outside-in, rather than from the inside-out. 

 

The entire experience, one might call my life, transformed my world for the better. I see so much value in life, in all the day to day experiences, even the unenjoyable ones that give me strength. I have found confidence in learning who I am, not who I’ve been told I am. I’ve found freedom from the stress addiction of urgency to prove my value, and now get to enjoy calm productivity taken through my values and sense of worthiness. It was the journey I needed to take because I found freedom, but it wasn’t just for me, but for you as well. 

 

I believe we are on this earth to support each other, and with the knowledge I’ve gained I’ve been able to help each and every person I’ve had the privilege of working with find their inner power, reset their autopilot and transform their mind for lasting results inside and out. That’s how I see it. It’s MY privilege and MY honor when someone selects me, chooses to trust me and my knowledge to guide them. As I stated, it is a scary, vulnerable journey and I don’t take that lightly. If you ask me there is NOTHING more rewarding than seeing someone find their power, and that is what I do.
