About Laura
My mission in life is to inspire transformation. When people move from suffering to satisfaction their whole world opens up. I know this firsthand. Coaching helped me transform from a burned out, angry, disappointed employee to a thriving entrepreneur. I’m committed to supporting eager leaders, business professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives to facilitate lasting, profound, and sustainable change.
How it Started: My Story
In 2007, I had what I thought was my dream job. I was a fashion designer who drew all day and traveled to Europe and Asia. I got to create every single day. But I was working all the time. I wasn’t sleeping. I was worried about whether I was producing enough. My personal life was practically non-existent.
A breast cancer diagnosis forced me to stop and reevaluate my life. I knew for sure that I didn’t want the following etched into my tombstone- "Here lies Laura Foster. She worked weekends."
I committed myself to find a way to make a change. For me, it started with learning who I am outside of the work that I do.
Then I learned how to stop living with the assumption that the world was against me and I started to embrace the idea that I am the creator of my own life. I did the inner work necessary to drastically alter how I was showing up in the world. Everything shifted.
Even though the work I do today as a professional coach is very much in alignment with my purpose, I know that it is just a part of who I am.
I have more balance, more freedom, and more joy than I ever dared dream of.
This is possible for you too.
My Mission
One Client’s Transformation-
“I’m so impressed with Laura’s coaching, she has an amazing way of listening to the whole person - business, body and everything in between. Laura helped me identify solutions for my lifestyle and business that aim right at the source, preventing burnout, enhancing my own enjoyment of my work, and better balance in my personal life.”

Why I Coach and Speak
I work with executives, entrepreneurs and professional leaders who look like they have it all together on the outside- BUT- feel deep-down like they might be missing out on the most important parts of life.
Maybe this is you. Perhaps you have the job title or the car or the investment portfolio you thought you wanted. You might even have the relationship you assumed would change everything.
And, if some of these things are true for you- then why is there a part of you that wants MORE?
Why aren’t you SATISFIED with your life?
I help people just like you answer this question all day long. I know it’s part of my purpose here on this earth.
Do any of these ring true for you?
-
I don’t have enough TIME.
-
I’m overwhelmed.
-
I feel trapped in my life.
-
I don’t know what I need | want | desire.
-
If only I could run away. Anywhere would be better than here.
-
I don’t have a clear vision of what I want in my future.
-
I don’t know how to handle my stress.
-
I worry about what other people think about me.
-
I SHOULD be meditating. I SHOULD be better at taking care of myself.
-
I SHOULD be happy.
If any of this sounds like you: I hear you. I understand where you are. I used to be like you. Are you open to believing that change is possible for you too?
I help people create-
-
A deep understanding of who you are and why you’re here. An aligned sense of your purpose.
-
A tangible vision for the future YOU want to create on all levels- in your career, in your relationships, in your own self-care, and in your service to others.
-
An understanding of what satisfaction and meaning in your life feels like for YOU.
-
Freedom. Love. Joy. Hope. Mastery. A Commitment to Self-Care. Connection.
A Legacy.
