About Laura

A little about my journey
 I found my love of movement and creativity at the age of four at Mrs. Hackney’s school of dance.  I went on to pursue a career in the performing arts, beginning as a professional dancer, choreographer, and dance instructor.  I taught and choreographed throughout New England and New York City and eventually ended up in Chicago where I taught for the Academy for the Performing Arts, Roosevelt University, and Columbia College.  Following a third knee injury and subsequent surgery, I turned my passion from the performing arts to the visual arts through photography.  I am a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography and an award winning photographer and mixed media artist.  As I began to integrate my art and personal growth I knew coaching would be a good fit for me so I decided to learn more.  I am a certified Life, Wellness, and Professional coach as well as a certified Personal Trainer.   One of the most powerful things I’ve learned on my journey is compassion.  I know how hard and challenging life can be and I am grateful to have found my true passions.   I love to support and encourage people through coaching, training, speaking and art to embrace their authentic self.  It is my privilege and honor to be a witness as they reclaim their personal power  and transforms their lives. I’d love to support you in creating and living the life of your dreams.
