I discovered Nia more than 20 years ago and since then, I've been taking Nia classes around the Bay Area and in other states and countries when I'm traveling. Laura is a dedicated, talented teacher, who cares about her students and brings her whole self to her classes. I always look forward to Laura's classes, which help me feel more centered and balanced especially during tough times. Laura leads us in dancing in ways that always make me feel better, both physically and emotionally. When I come to class worrying about what's happening in the world, I follow Laura's lead in setting a focus and intention for our class and start moving to the wonderful music Laura chooses for each class. At some point during class, I notice that I'm feeling lighter and that feeling continues after class ends as well. I really appreciate Laura's commitment to her teaching and to us, as her students.

Working with Laura has had a profound impact on my life.
When we started working together, I knew I wanted to make a career change but wasn’t sure what that looked like. I had tried to make that change on my own but hadn't been successful.
Since then, I've developed a career that is fulfilling and exciting. It took a lot of steps to get here and Laura has guided and supported me the whole way. I truly couldn't have done it without her.
Laura has been my Coach for 10 years now. She is a trusted advisor that encourages me to be me, speak my mind and not be afraid. I cannot highly recommend her enough!

I came to coaching with Laura at a particularly difficult time for me. My self confidence was at a low and I was having trouble charting a constructive path forward. Laura's empathetic approach combined with excellent practical advice motivated me to apply for new jobs, focus on endeavors that are meaningful to me, and to envision a more fulfilling life. I am grateful for the time I spent working with Laura!
