About Laura

I create personalized movement programs that start with alignment, build sustainable strength, and fit your real-life needs. These programs are free of diet culture and rigid rules, choosing instead trauma-informed coaching that meets you where you are.


 


Here’s what that means for you:


 


You won’t receive cookie-cutter workouts that disregard your schedule, your body’s needs, or your life circumstances. Instead, you’ll receive programming designed specifically for your movement patterns, accessibility, and goals.


 


We start with alignment because when your body moves well, everything else follows—strength, confidence, and freedom from pain. This approach is not about quick fixes or dramatic transformations. Instead, it’s about building a foundation that supports you through every season of life.


 


Why me?


 


I’m a trauma-informed personal trainer and coach. This means I create safe spaces for you to heal your relationship with movement—without pushing you beyond your boundaries or assuming what your body “should” do.


 


My clients include women and individuals navigating perimenopause, recovering from injuries, returning to movement after years away, and anyone tired of fitness programs that demand significant lifestyle changes to achieve results.


My favorite exercise

My favorite exercise is a deadlift because I have been able to lift the heaviest weight!

My favorite quote

My training philosophy

I am big on safety and knowing your limitations and then building from there. I have had former trainers ask me to perform exercises that were not for the faint of heart and I did injure myself, so I am big on alignment, strength & function, and reaching your goals set by you.
