Testimonials

We thoroughly enjoyed the yoga and bodywork sessions. Laurie has mastered the craft and creatively infused education about the mind and body into an incredibly relaxing and beneficial experience.

When Laurie and I started I felt I had lost my joy. I wanted that back - my daily smile, laughter, love for life, energy - everything I did seemed as if it was such a chore at that point. Laurie and I worked together to find out what steps I could take to achieve my goal of getting my joy back. My story is all too familiar these days. I am the one child in the family that takes care of everyone. Caregiver burn out!  You just go on with taking care of everyone and deny this could happen to you. Thanks to my Health Coach, Laurie, I now feel that I am on track to continue my journey as a Caregiver. I will cautiously continue and make sure that I always take care of my physical and mental health so that I can be a good Caregiver. Working with my health coach I've learned so much. One of my most valuable lessons in the course is definitely taking a good look at the person that I've become, realizing what my needs are and making them a priority along with other's needs. Thank you Laurie for all of your encouragement each week. Your coaching has been very instrumental in helping me to live life to its fullest again. 

It has been an honor to work with you. I appreciate all you have done for the staff and myself personally. I think the work you did with the mindfulness drop-in sessions made an impact in the lives of those who attended. The reference list and resources you provided the participants were very helpful and supported the science behind the practice. Staff members told me they looked forward to the drop-in sessions and it helped them re-center themselves for the remainder of their workday. The skills and strategies you taught fit in so nicely with our wellness initiatives aimed at improving the overall well-being of our staff at Froedtert health.

I felt more relaxed than I have in a very long time; Great class with perfect timing - it was a great experience with a calming coach; Loved the hands on techniques and not intimidating atmosphere and Laurie's ability to modify the instruction to the level of the participants; The content was great and presented at a good speed - not too much and not too little - I recommend this class for learning to focus on being present and to improve connection to self and others.
