About Me

Hi, I’m Laura, a Wellness Coach with certifications as a health and life coach, menopause coaching specialist and Certified HeartMath® Coach with BA in psychology and over 25 years in corporate human resources working with employees and their families in high stress situations. 

Over the past 15 years, I’ve navigated fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, adrenal challenges, and perimenopause while raising a family and maintaining a demanding career. These experiences taught me that I didn’t want to simply get by. I wanted to thrive. I learned to listen to my body, mind and spirit to rebuild energy in small, doable ways, and redefine what wellness meant for me.

Along the way, I discovered a common thread behind every symptom and setback: the nervous system.

The nervous system shapes mood, sleep, digestion, pain, focus, and how we show up in the world. When we’re stuck in “fight, flight, or freeze,” true well-being becomes difficult to access.  I learned to reframe things, let go of unhelpful patterns and change my thoughts —and that has changed my perspective. Now I help others find their way back to themselves.

I had to find my way through these challenges the hard way, but you don’t have to!

My Mission

My mission is to support women and offer a grounded, compassionate path toward well-being that truly fits their life. I will help you determine realistic goals, understand what your body and nervous system are communicating, recognize what’s helping and what’s hindering you, and move forward without the pressure to push harder or hold everything together alone.

A core part of this work is building simple, sustainable habits and creating a foundation that supports your physical, emotional, and daily life—so you can move through your days with more clarity, steadiness, and resilience.

You deserve a life that gives you room to breathe, space to be who you are, and the support to feel well in your own body.

Whether you:

  • want a healthier lifestyle

  • have chronic fatigue or pain

  • feel overwhelmed

  • are navigating a life transition

  • are seeking a steadier, more grounded way forward

You are not alone! I can help.

You deserve a life that gives you space to be who you are.
