About
I am a Menopause Health and Fitness Specialist and Personal Trainer who has been where you are.
My health journey has been long and arduous. At 16 I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, an Endocrine Disorder that made the years leading up to Perimenopause at 38 a roller coaster. Once I hit perimenopause PCOS bit me in the rear. More than a healthy share of stress exacerbated my condition and led to a host of health issues. At 48 I was a full year without a period and officially post-menopausal. A few years ago I was tired, burnt out and miserable from weight gain, fatigue and a short temper. I was also frustrated by the search for answers and lack of support from the medical community.
Fast forward I am now 55 years old and 7 years post-menopausal. I have lost 41 pounds over the last 2 years by advocating for proper care from the right doctors, educating myself and making my health a priority.
I’m prepared through my experience and education to help women in perimenopause and beyond who want to lose stubborn weight, balance their hormones naturally, and gain their confidence back—WITHOUT giving up their favorite foods, tracking every bite, or spending hours at the gym.

Laurie is wonderful, she takes into consideration that I’m 64 and keeps me from hurting myself. I’ve been with her for just over two months and I’m feeling better already. She’s excellent, I highly recommend her as a stay wellcoach.

Working with Laurie has been a dream come true. She is punctual and professional while being personable and intentional. Laurie's style isn't intimidating. She understands the body very well. Very knowledgeable with a lot of patience. Her workout routines with me are not only versatile and inspiring but have helped my mobility and confidence immensely! I've been working with her since this summer and will continue as long as she works with me! I am a senior citizen and was intimidated by other consultants, but Laurie put me right at ease. Her techniques keep me moving. Because of her work with me, I am able to travel and remain independent. Thank you, Laurie, for keeping me on my feet!

Working with Laurie is one of the best things I have done for myself. Her knowledge of women’s health is invaluable. She’s professional, relatable, friendly, and above all- well versed in her field. I feel better after seeing her, not just in my physical well-being, but in a better head space too.

My first step is to gather health information and specific client goals. I then work on achievable goals that can be built upon for continual improvement and results. Each client is unique in both their strength and flexibility. Each workout is customized to my clients needs and goals, and is based on stabilization, strength an endurance in a safe and effective manner.
