Hi! I'm Dr. Laura.
I help driven folks actually enjoy the life that they've worked so hard to create.
Professional Background
Here's where I've been and where I'm at now!
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.
I'm originally from Long Island, NY, but we are currently living in rural Ireland! 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!
Mission
To help as many Type-A folks as I can live differently. Because our satisfaction with the experience of our lives matters.
Vision
I want to live in a world where values-driven folks are well resourced with plenty of time, energy, and fulfillment.
