My Story
Through her own journey from morbid obesity, Laura has learned the value of life and enjoying all we have been given. She sees each day as a gift to embrace and seeks to make the most of it.
Having suffered with an additional 80 pounds of fat, high blood pressure and knee issues, Laura knows what it is like to have to work through difficult health issues to reach personal health and wellness goals. She lost the fat and has maintained this weight loss for 16 years with no high blood pressure, no medications and no orthopedic issues. This journey has inspired Laura to share the truth about health and fitness.
She spent over six years working as a golf fitness specialist, nutrition coach and personal trainer at Isleworth Golf and Country Club in Windermere, Florida - one of the world's most premiere and exclusive golf clubs in the world.
