Laurie’s comprehensive training in energy medicine and transformational life coaching are the foundational offerings at HolEssence, a healing studio she founded over a decade ago in Crystal Lake, Illinois. With the philosophy of “Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing,” Laurie works with the whole person, helping them turn intention into action; getting them from where they are, to where they want to be—body, mind, and spirit.
A teacher and student of purposeful living, Laurie is respectful of the earth’s natural resources. Her goal is to leave the slightest footprint on the planet, while at the same time making a lasting impression on its inhabitants—one that is positive, uplifting, constructive, and healing.
A few of Laurie’s favorite pastimes include writing, hiking, swimming, long bicycle rides, travel, and photography. A voracious reader, she and her husband have not had a television in their home for over 30 years. Now that's bliss!
"Laurie, it is OBVIOUS how you consistently show up for yourself in the Universe, this is EXACTLY why the Universe shows up for in in even greeter proportions. The way you move and intend, there's no other way for all of life to respond to you any differently."
- Sibyl English, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, SIBYL Magazine
