Laura has been an entrepreneurial small business owner, involved in her community through her children's schools, church groups, and volunteer organizations her entire adult life. She is also part of a huge, loving, loud, loyal family who have been an integral part of her growth, faith and success over the last 25 years as she has focused on family, serving and educating others, and wellness.
After graduating from Texas A&M in 1992, she opened her first business, Pet Care Plus, in January of 1994, followed by Happy Tails Dog Training in 1996. These businesses focused on dog training & pet sitting, with the goal of improving the bond between clients and their pets. This passion for serving others and for families inspired a focus on service dog training & creating Paws for Christ, an animal assisted student ministry.
After more than 20 years working with families and their pets, Laura decided to explore other interests. She still wanted to be in a service-oriented field with a goal of helping others. Laura loves people, new challenges, and excels at relationship building. With a lifelong passion for health & exercise, she decided to put these critical skills to work in 2013, learning more about massage therapy and essential oils.
Laura completed the Massage Therapy Program and internship at Lone Star College and is excited to continue learning new techniques through continuing education classes. Her approach to massage therapy focuses on helping the client restore whole health using a variety of massage techniques, tools, stretches, and therapeutic oils.
In 2022, Laura completed her Life Coaching and Health Coaching Certifications through the Health Coach Institute. This training and certification open up the opportunity to work with her clients holistically - offering individual life coaching, retreats and wellness guidance beyond the massage work she has been doing for years.
Laura currently resides in Spring, Texas. She loves her family, connecting with and helping others, meeting new people, traveling, and all things Texas - Jesus, rodeo, Blue Bell, skeet & target shooting, the great outdoors, BBQ, Mexican food, animals, country music, dancing, etc.
