About Coach Laura
Empowering Postpartum Women to Rediscover Their Strength
Welcome to my website! I'm Laura, a passionate strength coach dedicated to supporting postpartum women on their journey to rediscover their strength, confidence, and overall well-being. As a mother myself, I understand firsthand the unique physical and emotional changes that accompany the postpartum period, and I am here to guide and empower you every step of the way.
I started my strength journey in 2015 after fracturing my ankle. Once starting to work with barbells, I quickly adapted and my recovery turned to growth. I competed for the first time in October of 2016 in Chicago, and have been on the platform seven times since. I broke two state records in 2019, and broke 4 more in 2020. I have studied the Starting Strength Barbell method for 7 years, and am currently pursuing my barbell coaching certification through Starting Strength. I also am a licensed coach in the State of Iowa, a former USA Swim Team coach, a former Special Olympics Coach, and a former YMCA Coach.
My own experience as a postpartum woman and my background in fitness and strength training have fueled my commitment to helping others navigate this transformative phase of life. I firmly believe that every woman deserves to feel strong, vibrant, and capable, regardless of where they are on their postpartum journey.
With a deep understanding of the physical challenges faced by postpartum women, I have developed specialized programs and methodologies tailored to your specific needs. My approach combines evidence-based strength training, functional movements, and targeted exercises to address common postpartum concerns such as core strength, pelvic floor health, and overall physical resilience.
However, my coaching philosophy extends beyond physical fitness. I am a firm believer in the power of mindset and self-care. I strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where you can feel comfortable, inspired, and motivated to prioritize your well-being. Together, we will focus not only on rebuilding your physical strength but also on nurturing your mental and emotional health, fostering a holistic approach to postpartum wellness.
My coaching style is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a genuine desire to see you succeed. I will be your advocate, your cheerleader, and your guide throughout your journey. I am committed to meeting you where you are and helping you set realistic goals that align with your unique circumstances and aspirations. Together, we will celebrate your progress, overcome obstacles, and unlock your full potential.
Beyond coaching, I am dedicated to creating a community of like-minded individuals, where we can share our experiences, support one another, and celebrate the joys and challenges of motherhood. I believe that the power of connection and shared wisdom is an invaluable resource that can uplift and inspire us on our individual paths.
Thank you for visiting my website. I invite you to explore the resources, programs, and content available here. If you are a postpartum woman ready to embark on a transformative journey of strength, resilience, and self-discovery, I would be honored to be your guide. Together, let's embrace this incredible chapter of your life and empower you to become the strongest version of yourself.
Warmest regards,
Coach Laura
