Vitality Coaching - Oakland, California

Laura’s coaching provided clarity, structure, and support at a pivotal time for me. Her coaching helped me gain clarity on my professional path, strengthen my emotional awareness, and deepen my commitment to wellness. Through her guidance, I became more intentional in my relationships, reduced rumination, and built sustainable habits that support my energy and perspective. I especially appreciated the many frameworks she provided, which continue to be useful tools in my daily life. Laura’s approach was both thoughtful and practical, offering the right balance of challenge and support. I left our work together with greater confidence, balance, and a renewed sense of curiosity and empathy.

After years of therapists never really helping me mobilize in my life, working with Laura changed everything. She is the perfect combo of compassionate and understanding while being strong on her commitment to help you move towards your set goals. She will ask the hard questions, she will be your accountability person and she will celebrate with you every step of the way. My life is entirely different because of my work with Laura and I can't recommend her enough

I came to Laura with a view to accelerating progress in my current job, and came away with so much more - expansive and holistic goals for career, vitality and life. She has coached me through one of the most difficult times in my personal life with incredible empathy, and continue to coach and support me throughout. By the end of our sessions, I had set more ambitious and exciting goals for myself, made progress and have the tools to continue to advance despite life's inevitable challenges. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura for her deep expertise, experience and empathy.

I can’t recommend Laura enough. When I was stuck in a toxic work environment with a micromanaging boss, I reached out to Laura for help. She helped me strategize to stay focused and sane while searching for a new opportunity, and made me realize the problem wasn’t me. When my boss left, Laura guided me on stepping into a leadership role and building my self-confidence. Her supportive, non-judgmental approach helped me find the answers..

After six months of working together, I now truly enjoy my job and look forward to going in every day. I couldn’t have done it without Laura’s guidance and support.

My work with Laura was truly transformative. I wasn't very familiar with coaching before a friend recommended Laura to me, and I was a little hesitant to begin. But my husband pointed out: "If it could change your life, wouldn't it be worth it?" And it did. And it was. Laura is a gifted listener and motivator. Her experience and knowledge provided a structure that was goal-oriented and focused on accountability and action while still being personalized, flexible, and organic. Working with her, I felt deeply known, supported, and cared for. She creates safe space and pulls you forward gently, calling you to accept the next challenge, insightfully pointing out helpful wisdom and expertise, while always providing room for you to process and recognize what your true self and body already know. I was able to move forward in areas where I've felt stuck for years. And I am more stable, grounded, strong, energized, and hopeful than I've been in a decade. I am deeply thankful for Laura's guidance and insight, and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a coach.

Laura is a wonderful NIA teacher—the best in the SF Bay Area! Even though I no longer live there, I still enjoy dancing in her weekly Zoom classes from my new home in Mexico.
Laura is such a warm and supportive facilitator, guiding her students to feel comfort in their own bodies and let the music and movements carry them through a nourishing body-mind-spirit experience. I highly recommend her NIA classes!

Laura has been my mentor coach for the past year, contributing significantly to my evolution as a more authentic coach, an improved people leader, and a more fulfilled individual. In each coaching session, I found both inspiration and actionable insights that resonate with my life's purpose. Her ability to seamlessly transition between the roles of mentor and life coach enhanced my learning on a personal and professional level. Laura exemplifies the vitality equation in her own life and has a knack for bringing out the best in people. I extend my sincere appreciation for your coaching. She is a great coach role modeling vitality and generosity. Thank you Laura!

When I embarked on my coaching certification program at New Ventures West, I hired Laura to serve as a mentor coach for me. Her support has been invaluable --whether in modeling coaching best practices, helping me think through business side of coaching, or coaching me to take courageous action. I have also appreciated that Laura fosters a professional coaching community through her monthly Coaches Think Tank-- which offers the opportunity to engage with and learn from others. Overall, a great experience--I have learned so much from Laura that I will take forward into my own practice!
