Hi, I'm Laura

I'm a board-certified health and wellness coach who helps people navigate health challenges and life transitions with clarity and confidence. With a background in psychology and education, I spent years supporting college students and families through stress and changes before transitioning to health coaching.

After having seven surgeries before age 40 and facing additional health challenges later, I gained firsthand insight into the complexities of healthcare. This personal journey led me to Duke Integrative Medicine, where I trained as a coach and found a way to blend my expertise in human development with my passion for supporting others through their own health struggles.

As the founder of Turnstone Wellness, I bring both professional knowledge and lived experience to my work -- offering evidence-based coaching strategies grounded in empathy, compassion, and real-world understanding.

What Turnstone Means

The Ruddy Turnstone is a shore bird, which finds its food by moving stones. A Turnstone uncovers what’s hidden beneath the stones and leans on its flock when the weight is too heavy.

Similarly, I believe much of wellness is about uncovering what helps you thrive, with the right support by your side.
