Hi, I’m Laura.

I specialize in practicing and teaching sustainable methods of strength and conditioning. My goal is to help others develop a solid foundation of strong, quality movement. My hope is to witness the ensuing confidence from physical and mental accomplishment bleed into every other area of people’s lives.

My Qualifications Include:

Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA CSCS)

USA Weightlifting Level 2

RKC Kettlebell Instructor Level 1

CrossFit Level 2

Yoga Vidya 200-hr Instructor Training

Precision Nutrition Level 1

M.A. in Sport Management, specializing in Coaching Education

I also hold a B.A. in Philosophy from McGill University in Montreal, QC, where I completed my first strength and conditioning practicum under the kinesiology department, followed by a year of outpatient physical therapy observation; anatomy, physiology and nutrition courses, and a couple more fitness internships. I have worked with individuals and groups spanning all levels and abilities - from instructing chair yoga in assisted living communities (pictured above) to coaching sport performance for U.S. Olympic, world and national team athletes.

Competing at my gym’s annual throw down, my two teammates and good friends talking strategy in the background, happy to be doing my favorite barbell movement. :)
