Profile

Laurie is a certified mindfulness teacher and coach with an eclectic background in healthcare, wellness and finance. She has been teaching mindfulness for over a decade and has trained in a variety of mind-body and wellness disciplines. Laurie is known for her warm and engaging style. She has worked in five continents and has a global perspective. Laurie discovered the practice of mindfulness in 2005 through the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn. After a 20 career in financial services, she found her calling to help clients find a greater sense of focus, clarity, and well-being so they can live richer, more purposeful lives. Mindfulness transformed her life. Although she had practiced another form of meditation for decades, she found mindfulness to have a greater impact on her life and wellbeing. Mindfulness helped her become calmer, more focused, less reactive, and more resilient. Laurie feels that mindfulness is the greatest gift of her life and blessed to be able to share it with others. She hopes that little by little, one by one, she can help make the world a kinder more mindful place. Laurie lives in New York City where she is a mindfulness-based certified professional coach (CPC) at Evenkeel Wellbeing and a mindfulness teacher with eMindful and The Mindful Living Collective. She spends summers in the Austrian Alps where she organizes well-being retreats for stressed-out urbanites and others who want to reconnect with nature and themselves. Laurie has an MBA in Finance and an MA in Health and Behavior Studies from Columbia University and is a certified coach through iPEC.
