About Laura

I have been in the fitness industry for over 10 years now. I began as a group fitness instructor, teaching AquaFitness classes at the Uxpool during high school and college. I then became a certified fitness instructor and specialized in HIIT training. I loved gathering with those groups to sweat together and did my best to make exercises fun and attainable. A few years later I began taking on personal training clients. Working with these women has been such a gift and I love being a part of their fitness journey. As those clients started to get pregnant, they wanted to continue exercising. So, I started my research, took some initial courses, and we set out to learn how to exercise safely during pregnancy. That initial research and education opened my eyes to a world of knowledge that is not widely known, and not just pregnancy fitness, but the postpartum recovery journey as well. I wanted to know more, and I wanted to help those I work with and know. Since then, I have acquired several certifications to equip me and allow me to be a valuable resource to my clients and friends. What I’ve learned is that this stuff goes way beyond pre/post-natal care. Anyone with a core should learn about what their core really is and about optimal function.  

I am still learning, every day, but that’s what it’s all about right? The  j o u r n e y.

I help women and men gain confidence with exercise, build strength from the inside-out, and create a sustainable rhythm of fitness. 

I specialize in core rehab, full body strength training programs, and an individualized approach to meet each client's needs and goals.

I believe three of the biggest gaps in fitness today that affect your confidence with exercise are:

1. Education (you are unsure of what to do)

2. Foundation (developing a habit of sustainable fitness, knowing good form and practices to maximize confidence and minimize injury, and having a proper workout structure)

3. Individualization (programming that meets YOUR specific needs, and one that you have a say in!)

My mission is to bridge those gaps for every client so they feel confident to move well and reach their goals. I want my clients to be strong, confident movers who have fitness as a part of their everyday lives. 

As your trainer, I am with you every step of the way. Your live sessions with me allow you to get feedback in real-time, as well as opportunities to learn and ask questions. In addition to your live weekly training sessions, you get an individualized home workout program that compliments your training sessions to create the most efficient path to goal achievement. 

A note on pre/postnatal fitness:

In this particular season, I focus on retraining with confidence. 

With all the changes your body goes through during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and motherhood, your core needs to be retrained before it can be trained. Struggles such as incontinence, diastasis, pelvic or low back pain, and prolapse are common, yes, but should not be assumed as something you have to live with forever. You can begin to improve your quality of life by retraining your core. I use a core confidence program that retrains your inner core to work optimally and allows you to return to your desired activities and go beyond.
