the path to transformation
Strong back
We are resilient, brave and hard working. We believe in building our physical strength. We know when we set our minds and hearts to something, we get it done. We allow ourselves to be proud, especially of our bodies. When faced with a challenge, we stand – chin up, chest high, feet on the ground – and say, let’s go.

Focused Mind
We are lifelong learners. We are introspective and use our self-knowledge for our own benefit, releasing self-attack and self-judgment. We believe in self-mastery. We use our wisdom to help ourselves and guide others. We manage and process our thoughts and emotions in healthy ways.

Joyful heart
We know love is always the answer, especially self-love. We radiate that outward to whomever we come in contact with. We unearth our desires and follow through on them. We believe in living from a place of gratitude and grace. We seek joy; knowing we don’t have to earn it. Our capacity for love makes us stronger.

Everyday Magic
We believe in mindfulness and cherishing small and big moments; knowing that normal and everyday life is special. We cultivate our lives and our individual days so that they are magical. Celebrating wins and receiving compliments is easy. We invite serendipity, connection and laughter.

powerful inputs
We are intentional about what we take in – food, movement, what we read, who we’re around. We know how to set and adhere to boundaries. We pay attention to our energy. We take rest and make time for stillness. We know how powerful the breath is, so we breathe deeply every day.

But Laura… that all sounds great, but what do I do next?
Commit to not doing it all alone. Life is more fun when you can share the hardships and joy. Ask yourself, what do I need most right now? To focus on my physical strength? Find group support? Reduce anxiety and stress?
I have programs and services to help you, from in-person training to group support. You deserve the life you want.
Find out more below how we can get you there…
AN INVITATION TO WORK WITH ME
I’m not a dictator or your boss, I’m your partner. Your cheerleader. The person you can go to for support, encouragement and a different perspective. I question everything and want you to do the same – even me. This is called establishing agency. It’s how you transform. I have helped hundreds of women become stronger because they realized their own power, whether that’s through strength training, coaching or in stillness.
I’ll teach you how to pay attention. I’ll give you tools to build new habits. I’ll help with the healing necessary to see yourself as worthy of what you really want (sometimes admitting your deepest desires is the hardest thing!).
When you’re ready to be a deliberate creator, you’re ready to work with me. When you’re ready to test what is possible, reach out. When you’re done doing the same things over and over and can’t stop sabotaging yourself, I’m here for you. We’ve all needed this, including me. I’ve had coaches for my life, my business and my fitness. I have a group I’ve met with once a week for the last three years. The best of the best place a high value on having support.
There is no reason to put so much pressure on yourself to figure it all out alone.
Find out more about how to work with me. We can also do the First Time Combo + Assessment if you want help figuring out a plan.
Let’s Ducking Go.
Love, Laura
In-Person Strength Training
I train clients at the Freedom Fitness Wentzville location, off Highway 40 in St. Charles County. My focus is on strength and resistance training in a way that improves functional moving, meaning your day to day life improves. My clients range in age and I offer both 1:1 and semi-private. If you’re new to the gym, you’ll learn how to lift safely, but my programming is progressive so even someone who is experienced will be challenged.
MEDITATION CLASSES & PERSONAL RECORDINGS
Join me on the first Tuesday of every month at The Chakra Healing Room for Breathe Easy, a meditation class for busy minds. It’s perfect for people who don’t know how to meditate and want to learn some tips and tricks to be able to take with them, as well as experience a deeply relaxing guided experience. I can also do custom, recorded meditations for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
stronger everywhere tribe (SET)
SET is a private online community for women whose lives are changing as children get older and we are going through perimenopause. This is a safe space to talk about this unique time in our lives, share resources and strategies, so we stay motivated to take care of ourselves in the best possible way. We know our lives and our bodies are in transition. We are setting new and different standards, choosing to feel empowered in our bodies and optimistic for the future.

You don’t need ongoing coaching, but you’re looking for a sounding board and some expert guidance as you pursue something important to you. This offer is for virtual clients and includes 3 private sessions scheduled strategically to ensure you follow through on yourself. Stop wasting time. I’m here to tell you, you’ve got this! We’ll figure it out together.

Here’s to healing and transforming and truly becoming stronger everywhere with a strong back, focused mind and a joyful heart. Let’s make magic!

Reviews & results
Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s some client testimonials. 💜
“Laura’s Breathe Easy Meditation class has been a game changer in my ability to control my stress and stay grounded. I was provided with some very easy to follow meditation techniques that can be done just about anywhere, at almost anytime.
I found uses for these techniques while sitting at my office chair, laying in bed, and even driving in my car. I highly recommend Laura’s approach as she guides you through your process.” — Clint
Laura is an inspiration, full of joy, peace and determination to help improve the lives of everyone around her mentally and physically. As my trainer, she has completely changed my mindset about health and fitness as I get closer to 50.
I have increased strength, balance and muscle tone. She is supportive, never judges and has the biggest heart and is there to help people live their best lives all around! — Heather
I had been looping in the same diet culture for years and when I didn’t want to do it, I would just give up. But in working with you, things landed in a different way. You have me something I had been searching for years; I’ve changed my relationship with food.
For the first time in so long, after dealing with insomnia, depression, some unexplained illnesses, I have energy and feel differently in my body. The critical voice has been kicked out the door! — Kelsi

What is your perfect day?
We like to use “conversation” cards during family dinner. This week, we had “describe a perfect day” and I asked my boys (who are 15 and 12) to list mine. It was crazy, cool how the responses were pretty much my life right now. Working out, being with clients in the gym and online, focusing on my business, walking the dog (or being in nature), writing, drinking coffee, and of course spending...
