Laura is a Health Coach who empowers her clients to make lasting, positive change.
She read Overcoming MS by Professor George Jelinek while recovering from a relapse that left her struggling to walk and talk and immediately began to implement the steps outlined in the program. She attended an Overcoming MS retreat in 2018 which she describes as ‘life changing’ and is an active member of her local Overcoming MS Circle. Five years after diagnosis, Laura is relapse-free and happier and healthier than ever before.
As a Health Coach, Laura finds that most people already know that they would be healthier if they ate more whole foods, moved more and stressed less. The issue for many (including herself pre-diagnosis), is that despite knowing this and wanting to be healthier, they don’t apply this knowledge. Laura believes that this is where stories come in. She works alongside clients as they create more empowering stories that lead to lasting, positive change.
Laura is currently working hard to qualify as a personal trainer as movement has been a fundamental part of her Overcoming MS journey. She also believes that it’s a key component of a healthy lifestyle that everyone can adopt and one that she’s keen to share with clients.
Laura lives in Cornwall with her husband, two teenage children and a rather naughty Jack Russell. She enjoys reading, spending time with her family, exploring the South West Coast path and she completed her first marathon this year.
