Bio

Professional Credibility

As an ENFJ, Laura sees the potential in those around her and strives to help them grow. Whether it's designing healthy buildings or speaking to an audience on stage, Laura is not afraid to show her passion, playfulness and authenticity.

Laura has been featured in NBC, ABC, CNN, Fox, Yahoo and many other news outlets. She is the creator of the BEDMAS of Wellness™ system and the author of 2 upcoming books. Laura co-authors "bLU Talks Presents: Business, Life, and the Universe" and is the sole author of "Health Starts With B."

Laura uses her research and knowledge about sustainable lifestyles to help entrepreneurs improve their mental health to create a foundation of wellness for higher performance.

Personality, Beliefs, & Why

Playful & genuinely compassionate, Laura likes to spread love and kindness everywhere she goes in hopes of changing the world.

Laura is unique in that she is both technically & creatively minded, which makes her a great bridge for connecting ideas.

Her professional background is as a building designer & sustainable wellness coach. Laura believes that human health is closely related to the health of the planet, and pursuing sustainable lifestyles will be productive in all areas.

After her bicycle accident in 2011, Laura truly believes it was the best thing that ever happened to her! From physical & mental recovery, to reconnecting with her values, and even becoming an entrepreneur, there have been many challenges that make her who she is today.

Laura doesn't want to see more cheerleaders. She wants to be vulnerable, share her answers, and connect with her audience emotionally. Trust allows her into their minds where she can share tools, mindset shifts and support to move your audience forward.

Expect to see many smiles, lots of personality, possible vibration from passion, and maybe a few tears. Laura has this air about her that is pleasantly addicting...or maybe it's all the love radiating off of her!

4 Reasons We Fail

There are 4 main reasons people fall short of achieving success. The common denominator is THEMSELVES.

Many people start out believing that failure is life's way of saying they're not good enough.

We slowly begin to learn failure is an event. How do we prevent it from happening? What can we learn from the experience when it does happen?

Failure almost never happens because of external factors yet we're so good at making it look that way.

Constructive Vulnerability

Why is authenticity important? How do you take vulnerability from a weakness to a strength? How do I go from victim mindset to constructive change?

Vulnerability can be taken as weakness but today's trend is self-deprecation so others will like & follow you on social media.

This skewed attempt at authenticity through vulnerability only hurts everyone involved.

The goal is to connect with others through being relatable & imperfect, but not at the expense of anyone.

Health Starts With B

The BEDMAS of Wellness formula is the starting point of holistic health. Health empowers us to move past obstacles & reach for higher performance.

After Laura's bicycle accident in 2011, she realized she could no longer get body change results as she had many times in the past. What was missing?

She followed her expertise & other industry professionals but almost nothing was changing anymore. Why?

There were missing pieces of the equation that helps creates our foundation for change.
