I have been an impassioned plant-based nutrition specialist for many years and I provide real life expertise, support, and guidance to empower people to achieve their health and situational goals and create, what I call, a Plant-Based Thrivestyle™.

My journey started back in 2017 when my family of five watched the documentaries, What the Health, Forks Over Knives, and Plant Pure Nation. What followed was a complete transition to a plant-based life for all of us. We took this one step at a time, cutting out animal products and then working to eliminate processed junk foods while at the same time increasing our daily consumption of a variety of plants. We were encouraged along the way by the myriad of health benefits we quickly noticed. Feeling so good and watching my family experience these benefits motivated me to dive into learning all I could about the science and research behind plant-based nutrition. From this deep dive and from years of trial and error, I figured out how to make this work for my entire family in our real, day-to-day lives, without giving up social events, going out to eat, traveling, and hosting family and friends.

Whether you’re plant-curious, fully plant-based, or somewhere in-between, I have been there and would love to help you learn how to easily, sustainably, and joyfully thrive while eating more plants!

Do you know people who want to eat more whole, plant-based foods but don’t know how to do it successfully? Or who are struggling with digestive issues they can’t resolve?

Well, through my coaching programs, my busy clients learn to cook delicious, life-giving meals while spending less money on food and less time in the kitchen. I’m helping them resolve a variety of issues causing gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, you name it. As a result, they have more energy, think more clearly, and sleep more soundly.

In fact, my client Jenny learned to cook a variety of whole food, plant-based recipes, and loves it! She’s lost 25 lbs, lowered her cholesterol 35 points, and her doctor is no longer bugging her about taking statin drugs. She went from experiencing daily gas and bloating to having none at all. She has more energy, less brain fog, and sleeps soundly.

As a coach, I love helping my clients feel better using plants as medicine. My clients meet their weight goals, discover food sensitivities, balance blood sugar, resolve emotional eating, and soothe cravings. As a result, they feel balanced, sleep well, enjoy exercising, and eat to live. They recognize when their body is out of balance and know how to get it back in balance. It takes courage to get started, but it’s a journey well worth beginning!

Laura bid farewell to 35 lbs of excess weight, painful knee arthritis, intense hot flashes, severe digestive issues with chronic bloating and abdominal pain, and stage 3 chronic kidney disease. Lost in a maze of nutritional confusion, Laura tried extreme measures like diet pills, meal replacement shakes, calorie counting and restriction, keto diets and over-exercising.

Laura discovered whole food, plant-based eating and committed to eating this way. Until then, her beliefs were shaped entirely by gimmicks, marketing, and falsehoods. Laura began researching everything related to this lifestyle. Understanding the science behind how a diet rich in plants and free from processed and animal-derived foods promotes health was transformative. Laura became a private WFPB chef, helping women transform their health through weight loss and reversing chronic conditions by preparing delicious oil-free meals made from plants that their entire families enjoyed. She then became a certified nutrition and wellness coach and helps individuals discover their best, healthiest selves through the power of food.

If you find yourself in the throes of nutritional confusion along with fighting cravings and ingrained habits, this could be your first step towards clarity, optimal health, and liberation from all that has hindered you. Laura specializes in plant-based nutrition and assisting people like you in making sustainable positive changes needed to enjoy optimal health. Together, you can discover your superpowers, eliminate obstacles and embark on a journey towards the health and life you wish for and deserve.

My journey to becoming a health coach started in 2012 when I noticed how my health was being affected by my dietary and lifestyle choices. At the time, I was a bit lost and overwhelmed with the amount of information that seemed contradictory in providing answers that would improve my health and wellbeing. In addition to making lifestyle changes, studying the latest research and adopting a whole food plant-based diet, I have dramatically changed my health for the better.

As a certified plant-based coach, I will help you adopt a plant-based diet and help you make healthier, more sustainable choices. With a passion for plant-based living, I provide guidance and support to help you achieve your optimal health and wellness goals. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and thrive, and I’m committed to helping you achieve the results you desire.
