Laura has been studying Positive Psychology since 2015, learning first under Harvard-trained Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar and later with Dr. Martin Seligman, the founder of the field. She holds a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) from the University of Pennsylvania, and her passion has always been empowering teens to take charge of their own lives.

With a focus on strengths, purpose, and intrinsic motivation, Laura helps young people uncover what makes them unique and how they want to contribute to the world. Positive Psychology research shows that when we align what we’re good at, what we love, and what the world needs, engagement, resilience, and confidence naturally follow.

Blending mindfulness, self-reflection, appreciative inquiry, and somatic intelligence, Laura’s coaching supports teens in navigating the complex journey of growing up. With so many external pressures—family, friends, school, and society—it’s easy to lose sight of who you truly are. Laura’s organic conversations around values and priorities help young people connect with their most authentic selves.

Her approach is rooted in tested Positive Psychology practices that build self-belief and help teens recognize what’s already working in their lives. She equips them with the tools to navigate challenges and create meaningful paths forward.

Laura is a wife, a mom of three, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada, and the founder of Discovering My Purpose. A yoga teacher for 20 years, she’s also a foster mom for kittens and recently helped her son’s lemonade business get featured in Costco’s national magazine.
