My Story

Laura grew up in Bronxville, New York, in a physically and emotionally abusive family. At the tender age of 15, she witnessed her mother's early death at the age of 48 from a massive heart attack, and it was this occurrence that motivated the fitness content of her mission. Participating in track and field and other athletics during high school and college, Laura used alcohol and drugs for a decade. She found sobriety at 26 and has lived a sober wellness lifestyle for over 30 years. After years of "acting as if, "Laura found herself in an abusive business relationship in Brooklyn, New York, where owning a 14,000-square-foot gym, only 8 miles from ground zero, in 2001. Frozen in fear, Laura could not hide and began a 6-year relationship of abuse and manipulation, which led to deep depression.

After closing the gym in 2003 and coming out of that dark place, with the support of my family and friends, she began to recapture her love of wellness and fitness. In 2013 Laura underwent a hip replacement at 48 and, a year later, a complete hysterectomy. 

A soul-searching journey to develop a fitness and wellness program for women to embrace and love. Through years of work and determination, Laura has slowly accepted the job ahead of herself to become an utterly loving being to heal the abuse and not mask it. 

The program "Empowerment" is presented to you as empowerment on the cellular level, down to your DNA. It's a long journey on this earth, and to move forward, one must allow the body to become the healthiest it can become. Slowly within your time, you will make lifestyle changes.  

We must examine why we're uncomfortable with the physical form and what makes us feel disconnected. We must understand that our bodies are our vessels and will house our souls until the end of our lives. We need to make our bodies healthy for the journey, our destiny will be fulfilled on this earth, and we cannot do it if our hands damage our vessel. We have done no wrong, but we must change our ways of loving ourselves. New shoes, hairstyles, or nails will no longer satisfy our souls. The change will be more significant; we must work from the soul of genuine commitment to becoming the power to heal this planet; we can no longer play small. We must rise to the forefront and capture the essence of life that is granted. We offer these words of wisdom to wash over our souls to be absorbed and swallowed. 

To embrace the physical power, "It is our birthright" of the divine spirit, we must take it back, no matter how small or our history; we as women must embrace our pure white light of strength.  

We are powerful creatures, and for too many years, we have been held back and kept down; we must rise to the forefront to heal our world and our children.  

This is a testament to the love of the female spirit, and never again will "WE" allow another woman or child to feel isolated, unloved, and physically or mentally trapped. Through the "Empowerment" program of physical/spiritual work, diet, body core strength training, breathing, stretching, and meditation, we can and will find the inner power within our female bodies. Physical activity does not mean one must train like a man, but as a woman of grace, energy, and speed, it is our birthright to be healthy and whole physical beings with no fear. Embrace a natural balance of love and strength within our rights. We are worthy in all aspects; no longer will we place ourselves last and wonder, where is our happiness? We must grow from the inside out and possess the divine power to heal our world.

The goal is to attain complete physical and emotional wellness within today's modern world. "LET'S REINVENT OUR HEALTH"
