I made this for you. xx

 Hey! I'm Laurie. I help creatives and entrepreneurs like you learn to align your inner world with your outer one.
To help you love and trust yourself so you can create with purpose, passion, and joy. 

People work with me to uncover fresh insights and possibilities, develop powerful habits and create meaningful and lasting change. They count on me to see what they can't, and tough-lovingly say what no one else would dare say ​to them. 

Also, I ask a lot of questions. 

I'm fascinated by human behavior and insatiably curious about what makes us act the way we do.  I earned my  degree in Human Development with an emphasis on social change from Pacific Oaks College. I'm a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) through the Co-Active Training Institute (formerly CTI), one of the preeminent coaching organizations in the world. I'm also Professional Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation, the global governing body of coaching. For the past three years, I've served on the leadership team for master coach, Rich Litvin, and his community.  And before that, I had a long career in advertising, creating campaigns for brands in the health and wellness space.

I can't help but keep making things. 

Last year, while writing my first novel, I found myself blocked and began researching how other artists break through. In the process, I made the Creative Block, a tool that artists, entrepreneurs and even students use to get out of their own way.  What most people don’t know about me is that much of my creativity comes from a deep down sense I developed as a child of never feeling like I was enough. I'm writing the book about that one now. (For more of my story, check out my interview with VoyageLA)
​
All of this brings me to you. I'm here to love and serve and create. To share what I've learned and what I'm learning.  And to help you be the joyful, ass-kicking force of nature you've always wanted to be. 

I want you to know...
​

1. I’m an ideas person who follows through. So many people have great ideas. Far fewer know how to do what it takes to make that vision come to life. From my 15 year career in advertising, I understand the complexities and challenges of the creative process AND the follow through process. I’ve learned that it’s rare for a single person to possess those skills and qualities. I’m grateful to have a firm grasp on both, and love helping my clients get to the finish line on their projects.   
2. I have mad brainstorming skills. I love to help generate ideas, and then help my clients articulate what to say and how to say it.  Language is a sixth sense for me.  I understand how people think and know how to speak their particular language in a way that feels direct and personal.  
3. I’m not afraid of the dark.... or the light.  I go deep with my clients to explore the roots of their suffering and shed light into the darkness. They say you can never take clients deeper than you've gone yourself.  I've done the work. I continue doing the work for my own healing and so that I can be a trusted guide. 
4. I love to laugh. And I'm never afraid to laugh at myself. I love surprises. I'm up for nearly every new adventure. And I can't dance or sing but that's never stopped me from doing either. 

                               These are my superpowers. Do you know yours?

        If the answer is, I'm not 100% sure, let's have a conversation. If you're super creative, but can              sometimes lack confidence and focus, you are my people.  And if you're aware of your shadow            side, but are sometimes hesitant to visit that neighborhood alone, know this:  it helps to have              good company.

Let's Talk
