LIFE TRANSITIONS COACHING FOR WOMEN
You achieved the things you thought would make you happy.
Yet there’s that quiet sense that something is missing.
You know something needs to change — but what, and how?
You’re not stuck. You’re standing at the edge of something new. And change is hard.
Every life has a moment — sometimes several — when the path that brought you here stops being the path that takes you forward. When the version of yourself that built this life isn't the version meant to live the next one.
The discomfort you're feeling is what that threshold feels like from the inside.
You’re not alone, it's part of being human. And while no one else can walk you across it, you don't have to do it alone.
My work is to walk alongside you, until what felt heavy starts to feel like freedom and what felt forced feels like a choice.
HOW IT TENDS TO FIND YOU
Most of us don't arrive at the threshold all at once. It often comes through a mix of internal and external circumstances:
A career that doesn't feel as exciting or fulfilling as before
A new role as mother that’s reshaping who you are
A divorce or relationship break-up
An empty nest that's emptier than expected
A retirement that lacks a sense of purpose
Or quietly, with no obvious cause. Just a sense that the door behind you has closed, and the door in front hasn't opened yet.
While these circumstances can be vastly different, they have one common element — the need to embrace and step into a new identity.
That’s the hard work. Honoring and grieving for what's ending. Sitting with the uncertainty of what hasn't yet arrived. Allowing yourself the space to imagine, then create, what comes next.
Why willpower hasn’t been enough.
If you've made it this far without an answer, it isn't for lack of trying.
You've powered through. You've set new goals, read the books, listened to the podcasts. Maybe even made time for yoga or breathwork. Some of it helped. But none of it quite reached the thing underneath.
Here's why:
The obstacle is invisible to you.
Not because you aren't smart enough to see it. But because the patterns and beliefs holding you in place were built to keep you safe, and they don't surrender to analysis. They surrender to being seen clearly.
That's what coaching is for.
Not to tell you what to want. Not to hand you a plan. To shine a light on the mindsets and patterns running underneath your life — the ones you can't see from inside them — so the next right step becomes obvious to the only person who should be choosing it.
You.
You can create a life that feels aligned with what matters most.
Not just successful, but purposeful and genuinely yours.
Hi, I’m Laura
I'm a transformational coach with 35 years in financial services leadership and certifications in coaching, mindfulness, and yoga. I've also studied the neuroscience behind why these practices work — because I know analytical minds need more than "just breathe."
I built a career I loved in a fast-paced, demanding industry while raising two children and navigating some of life's biggest transitions: divorce, empty nest, and career reinvention. My coaching blends evidence-based strategies and mindfulness practices with the insight and compassion of having lived it. I help clients slow down enough to hear their own wisdom, get clear on what they actually want, and take meaningful steps toward it.
Expect honest conversation, practical tools, and steady support along the way.

How We Work Together
My approach draws from real-world experience, evidence-based coaching methods, and mindfulness practices. Every session is built around you — your background, your goals, what actually works. These four pillars shape the work.
-
CREATE YOUR VISION
We get clear on your values and what genuinely energizes you, creating a foundation that inspires and motivates action aligned with your goals.
-
OVERCOME BARRIERS
We surface the “I can’t, I should, I have to,” stories running in the background, often accepted as fact. Loosening their grip can open the door to new perspectives, insights, and possibilities.
-
DEFINE GOALS & TAKE ACTION
We translate your vision into concrete next steps. You'll test ideas, adjust as you go, and build momentum toward the life you're designing.
-
REDUCE STRESS & BUILD RESILIENCE
You'll learn practical mindfulness tools that work in real life. Daily routines that align action what matters most. .

Navigating Change: Designing & Living Your Best Life
A Three-Month Journey for Women
Are you standing at a crossroads?
Maybe you're hitting a ceiling in your career, facing a major life change, or simply realizing that what used to work doesn't anymore. You're accomplished, capable, and used to making things happen. But this time, willpower alone isn't enough.
What if this isn't a crisis—but a chrysalis?
Navigating Change is a science-backed, body-centered coaching program that guides women through life's most challenging transitions. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience, proven coaching strategies, and embodied awareness, you'll learn to work with your brain—not against it—to create lasting change.
In three months, you'll break free from old patterns, reconnect with what truly matters, and design a life aligned with your deepest values.
This isn't about positive thinking or pushing through. It's about profound transformation.

Targeted Coaching: Clarity When You Need It
Sometimes you don't need a full transformation—you need clarity on what's right in front of you. These focused sessions help you move from stuck to clear on specific challenges. Perfect when you need support with:
Burnout & the Sunday Night Dread
You're successful by every measure, but you're running on fumes and dreading Monday morning. We'll uncover what's draining you and map out sustainable changes—so you can actually enjoy the life you've worked so hard to build.
Decision Clarity
Finally choosing between the promotion, the pivot, or the exit you've been quietly debating for months. We’ll surface what you actually want — beneath the pros/cons list and opinions — and layout a path you can commit to.
Transition Planning
Strategizing your next steps as empty nest and/or retirement approaches—when you can see the change coming but aren't sure how to meet it. We’ll design the transition on your terms, before it designs itself.
