I am a mom, teacher, healer, writer, and coach. I help highly sensitive people (HSP’s) to shed unwanted behaviors and reconnect with their sensitive qualities to embrace a fulfilling life of endless potential.
I have an avid thirst to deepen my life experience through learning something new everyday.
Heartbreak and loss changed my reasons for drinking. Becoming a parent awakened me to begin my journey to healing. I found freedom from alcohol through Annie Grace and her book, This Naked Mind.
Today, I celebrate my sensitive qualities, make empowered choices, nurture a strong connection with my daughter, and actively pursue my dreams!
Now, I’m a certified This Naked Mind coach! This methodology changed my life in the most profound ways and my mission is to offer my support and skills to help others do the same.
Here’s how we can work together:
Discovery Call
Alcohol Recovery Coaching
Emotional Recovery Coaching
The power of story
With alcohol out of the picture, I started embracing all of me--deep feeling, highly sensitive, complex, intense, and gritty. My articles on high functioning anxiety and how I overcame job interview challenges were published on Introvert, Dear, an online forum for introverts.
By unmuting my humanity and being real with my own struggles, I’ve opened up a space through writing and coaching for others to do the same.
So, if you’ve ever shamed or blamed yourself for going into autopilot when life gets overwhelming sometimes, please know that I see you, and I can relate.
Through 1:1 coaching, I will guide you in exploring your own story with curiosity, building self-awareness, and releasing what that no longer serves you to create the life you want.
“Once I was informed of what life coaches do for people by Laura, I was immediately hooked. During our sessions, Laura was a vessel that allowed me to dive deep and overcome a life obstacle. This was an awesome opportunity that more people need to be aware of and utilize! I was discussing uncomfortable things but felt anything but that!”

The meaning behind the logo
The letters V and W hold a very special place in my heart. They were chosen in memory of my nanny, Vera and my dad, Walter. They are also my daughter’s initials! The heartbeat line symbolizes how close this journey is to my own heart. As we navigate through life’s ups and downs, my hope is that it reminds us of the power we were all born with, our own resilience. The power to be with every beat. The power to choose not just to live, but to be fully alive.
Poetry
Writing is a huge passion of mine. Poetry and art have ways of speaking gentle truths to me. Processing my emotions through creative expression continues to be a way for me to make sense of my experiences. My first poetry book is currently in the works! Stay tuned!
Family
I live in Pennsylvania with my husband, daughter, and our dog, Stella. We adopted Stella in May of 2021, which is when I made the decision to stop drinking. She has been with me every step of the way!
The greatest gift we can give to our children is the healing of ourselves.
I believe in our ability as humans to feel and process our emotions in healthy ways with the right tools. In doing so, we clear space for possibilities we could not see before.
