About Me!

Hi, I’m Dr. Laura! I help analytical, driven, Type-A folks actually enjoy these lives that we’ve worked so hard to create.

Through mindset, strategy, and experimental execution, I’ll help you:

– overcome overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, and self-doubt

– reconnect with yourself so you can trust yourself and feel grounded

– gain confidence and clarity so that you can go after your goals

– manage your time and get out of procrastination or letting others dictate your priorities so that you can create more space for things you enjoy

We all deserve to have lives that feel as good to live as they look on paper. And I’d love to help you do that! So if you want to work with a coach who gets you, I got you.

I believe that we get to bring our whole selves to every part of our lives, and when we can do that, that’s when the real magic happens.

Once we acknowledge that checking all of the boxes that our culture tells us are required in order to attain success won’t actually make us feel happy or satisfied, it opens up a world of possibility to create success and fulfilment on our own terms.

Professional Background:

I am a mechanical engineer working in the field of engineering for over 18 years. I have been coaching women and men for over seven years, both in corporate and private settings.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Tufts University, a Masters Degree in Energy Management from NYIT, and a PhD in Organizational Leadership from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. My research revolves around how women lead in male-dominated fields and how they use intuition and embodiment as leadership tools.

In addition to my academic training, I am also a certified life coach through the University for Life Coach Training, a BARE certified weight coach and a certified BOLD facilitator for people who identify as girls and young women.

To supplement the knowing of the mind, I also have been certified in modalities that deal with the knowing of the body and intuition. I am a certified energy healer, and I have taken training in trance state meditation, Energy Body Clearing, Shadow Work, Soul Tarot, and Ancestral Healing.

At home, I enjoy spending time with my two small children, my husband, and our dog here in rural Ireland. When I’m not coaching, you can find me with my nose in a book or at the local gym!

How I Work:

As a coach, I aim to be a co-creatrix with you in building a life that feels damn good to live. Together we’ll work to acknowledge the systemic issues that are tripping you up as well as identifying the places in your own mind that are holding you back. We’ll create strategies to achieve your goals without burning out. We’ll tune in to your intuition and practice embodiment to live a truly integrated life.

You can show up big to your own life as a whole person.

I’m here to help you do that.
