About Laura
You could say Laura has lived a few lifetimes in one.
An Indiana All-Star in a basketball-obsessed state. A Patricia L. Roy Mental Attitude Award winner – not just for her stats, but for her character under pressure. A Division I athlete. A corporate executive with 20 years in the game spanning professional sports, philanthropy and healthcare. A human who has grieved out-of-order loss of a loved one. A mom navigating the life of raising a child with complex medical needs. A coach who genuinely sees people—and helps them thrive.
Her journey into health and wellness didn’t start with a textbook. It started on the basketball court, where she learned that greatness isn’t just about talent—it’s about mindset, discipline, and the right fuel. That same drive carried her through elite athletics and into the corporate world, where she led teams across various sectors that transformed workplaces from burnout zones into thriving ecosystems.
But the real turning point? Becoming a mom to a child with complex medical challenges. That’s where her passion deepened. She didn’t just study wellness—she lived it. She became the advocate, the researcher, the calm in the chaos, the navigator of doctors and care experiences. She learned what true resilience looks like, and how foundational health is to everything we do. She learned how to leverage science for outcomes and navigate where the path was not well-marked.
Today, she brings that full-circle wisdom to Team Thrive Lab. Her coaching goes beyond green smoothies and gym routines (though she’s got tips there, too). It’s about helping you find sustainable rhythms that work for your life. Whether you’re a high performer needing a reset, a parent juggling it all, an everyday person motivated to overcome a recent health diagnosis, a seeker of youthfulness as you age, or someone who’s tired of feeling meh—she’s got your back.

Tailored Plan
What sets my coaching apart is how deeply I listen. In a world full of noise and distractions, I offer something rare: my full attention.
I take the time to truly hear what you’re saying—often even what you’re not saying—and reflect it back in the form of thoughtful, personalized plans and practical steps. My clients tell me it feels like having a mirror, coach, and strategist all in one.
You won’t find cookie-cutter advice here. What you’ll get is meaningful partnership, grounded in who you are and what matters most to you.
I’ve always found joy in helping people grow—especially when it comes to their health. As a health and lifestyle coach, my greatest fulfillment comes from seeing clients feel in control of their wellness and excited by their own progress.
My approach blends evidence-based guidance with heart-centered coaching. I partner with you to uncover what matters most, break it down into doable actions, and champion you as you step into your own version of health—day by day, habit by habit.
This work isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about real change that fits your real life.
Is this you?
At Team Thrive Lab, we don’t believe in fixing people—because you’re not broken.
We believe in guiding heartbeats who are ready to shift, grow, and build a foundation of health that actually feels good. Whether you’re all-in on change or still exploring what wellness could look like for you, this space was made for you. Or, if you know the plan but need help sticking to it, we’re your built-in accountability system—part coach, part wellness lab assistant, all-in for your goals.
You’ve already made the decision—
to feel better, live stronger, and take care of your body and mind with more intention. You’re not waiting for “someday”—you’re ready now.
You’re curious and open—
not chasing a quick fix, but ready to explore what happens when you finally put you first.
You’re managing a chronic condition—
like diabetes, high cholesterol, or weight gain—and want more than symptom control. You want a personalized path toward real improvement.
You want something sustainable—
not another crash plan, but a lasting, realistic approach that fits your life and energy.
You crave support, not shame—
you’re done being talked at. You want a coach who listens, gets it, and works with your full story.
You want structure and space—
a clear direction with flexibility built in (yes, that’s possible!).
You appreciate a little humor with your healing—
because growth is messy, and we might as well laugh along the way.
Whether you’re in recovery mode, reversal mode, prevention mode, or “I just want to feel like me again” mode, you’ll be met with care, clarity, and evidence-based support—customized just for you.
