I help individuals and teams gain clarity, move forward with intention, and build something that actually works for them and the people around them.
The Work
You don't have to have it all figured out to get started.
You just have to be willing to show up honestly. I bring decades of operational experience, certified Enneagram coaching, and a calm, grounded presence to every conversation. I help you cut through the noise and find your way forward.
◈
Team Facilitation
For teams ready to move from friction to flow. I help groups communicate better, lead more effectively, and build the kind of trust that actually gets things done.
◇
Individual Coaching
For the person who knows something needs to shift but isn't sure where to start. Together, we'll get clear on who you are, what you want, and how to move forward.

Haven Retreats
An immersive experience on Lake Superior's North Shore for individuals who need space to breathe, and teams that need to do their most honest work together.
⬡
Enneagram
A powerful framework for self-awareness and growth. Understanding your type, and the types around you, changes everything about how you lead and connect.
About Laura
I listen for what's unspoken. That is where the real work begins.
I don't come with a rigid framework or a one-size-fits-all answer. I come with decades of real operational experience, a deep understanding of what makes people tick, and the rare ability to find the simple truth inside a complicated situation.
I ask the questions you didn't know you needed. I listen without an agenda. And I create a space where people feel safe enough to be completely honest, often very quickly.
What People Say
Words from the people I've worked with
"Working with Laura is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your personal and professional development. After every session, I leave feeling inspired, centered, and at peace."
Kaci H.
Individual Coaching
"We started with a dysfunctional team and a desire to work against each other. In just 2 days, you had us laughing at ourselves, finding ways to listen to each other. You are meant to do this work."
Robert B.
Team Facilitation
"I did not see the value of having a facilitator for our team offsite. Within 15 minutes I understood your value and I will never have an offsite without someone like you."
Michael L.
Team Facilitation
"I arrived at the Haven hot. Sitting with Laura in Adirondack chairs over Lake Superior, she made it safe to name an identity I needed to let go of, and gave me permission to go as slow as I needed to. I went home with clarity, peace, and the confidence to focus on my most important work."

Haven Retreat
Ready to do something real?
It starts with a single honest conversation. No pressure, no script.
About Laura
What I know is this: people already have what they need.
My job is to help them find it. And trust it.
My Story
Decades of real work inform everything I do.
I have spent my whole life showing up in the moments that matter.
The moment someone asks a question and I hear not the words they used, but the ones underneath it. The moment I see greatness in someone before they can see it themselves. The moment the room needs someone to cut through the noise and find what is actually true.
Those moments are what led me here. Not a single turning point, but a lifetime of learning that the most powerful thing one person can do for another is to truly see them.
I bring calm to chaos. I listen with intention. I hold sacred what is shared with me. I will never go along to get along, and I will not stay where loyalty asks me to abandon my integrity.
I have spent over two decades leading people through hard things. I live on the North Shore of Lake Superior, and the work I do from here is the most purposeful work of my life.
If you are ready to be seen and to do something real with it, I am here.
What I Believe
"The interaction should feel sacred. Not flitty, not superficial. Like somebody finally sees you."
That's the standard I hold myself to in every conversation, whether it's a one-hour discovery call or a year of work together. You deserve to feel met, not managed.
I'd love to hear what's going on for you.
No commitment required. Just a conversation.
Individual Coaching
You Already Know Something Needs to Change.
Let's figure out what that is, and what to do about it.
The Work
Deep, honest work so you can move forward fully.
Sometimes you're at a crossroads. Sometimes you're successful by every outside measure but still feel like something isn't quite right. Sometimes you just know you're capable of more and you can't figure out what's in the way.
I don't give you a formula. I give you my full attention, the right questions, and a calm, honest space to work through what's actually happening beneath the surface.
Deep, one-on-one conversations that go beyond the surface
Enneagram-informed insight into your patterns, strengths, and blind spots
A focus on both your well-being and your success
Real, practical clarity you can act on
A space where it's safe to be completely honest
Pricing is discussed in our first conversation. Every engagement is shaped around what you actually need.
This is for you if...
You're navigating a career transition or crossroads
You want to understand what's driving your patterns. Not just what you do, but why.
You want to make decisions with clarity instead of guilt
You want to show up fully for others and yourself
How It Works
01
We Start With a Conversation
A conversation where I listen to what drives you, what you're carrying, and where you feel stuck. No agenda, just honesty.
02
We Design the Work Together
From there, we determine the right next step: whether that's ongoing coaching, Enneagram work, or something more focused.
03
We Go Deep and Move Forward
You'll leave each session with something real: clarity, a decision made, a pattern named, or a path forward that fits who you are.
What's going on in your world right now?
That's the only question you need to answer to get started.
Team Facilitation
Great Teams Don't Happen by Accident.
They're built through honest conversations, shared understanding, and the willingness to do the work.
This is for you if...
Your team communicates, but not clearly
Trust has eroded, or never fully formed
You're planning something big and want alignment before you execute
You want your team to do their most honest work together
The Work
You can't fully lead the room and be in it at the same time.
Every team has a story. Sometimes it's one of momentum and possibility. Sometimes it's friction, miscommunication, and people working harder than the work demands. Most of the time, it's both.
I create and protect the space so you can be fully present with your people and leave with clarity that changes how you move forward.
Facilitation designed around your specific dynamics and goals
Enneagram-based tools for communication styles and conflict patterns
A focus on both relational and operational team health
Clear takeaways your team can actually use
Every engagement is custom. Pricing is shaped around team size, scope, and what you're trying to accomplish. Let's talk first.
The Process
How It Works
01
We Meet
Before anything is designed, I want to understand your team. What is the dynamic? What is the real challenge underneath the stated one? What does success look like for the people in the room? This conversation shapes everything.
02
I Design Something
Every engagement is built from scratch. No templates, no off-the-shelf curriculum. I design the session, the pacing, and the approach based on what I learned about your team.
03
We Do the Work Together
I facilitate. You and your team show up. I hold the space, protect the honesty in the room, and guide the conversation toward what actually needs to be said. You leave with something real.

The Haven · North Shore, Minnesota
Some work needs a different kind of space.
The Haven is a retreat experience on the edge of Lake Superior. The pace slows. The noise drops. The real conversations can finally happen.
Why the Haven Exists
Sometimes you need to leave your life to finally hear yourself think.
The North Shore has a way of quieting the parts of you that are always performing, always producing, always holding things together. That's what makes it a powerful container for the kind of work I do.
Whether you come alone for a personal retreat or bring your team for an immersive facilitation experience, the Haven offers something offices and conference rooms simply can't: the kind of safety that only comes from stepping away from the ordinary.
I host a limited number of retreats each year. Each one is intentional, carefully designed, and deeply personal.
"I am living on the North Shore. I have hosted team retreats and opened the space for wellness retreats. I have let go of the 40+ hours = success equation and have found balance in living my purpose in and outside of work. I am present, grounded, and living a life of gratitude."
— Laura's vision for The Haven
◇
Personal Retreat
Space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Guided by Laura, these are for the person who gives everything to everyone else and rarely stops to ask what they actually need.
◈
Team Retreat
An immersive offsite for your team to do their most honest work. Far enough from the office to tell the truth, and supported by skilled facilitation every step of the way.
◉
Wellness & Reflection
Curated retreat experiences focused on whole-person renewal. Time in nature, Enneagram exploration, and guided reflection for those seeking clarity about who they are and where they're headed.
The Process
How It Works
It starts with a conversation.
The Haven is intentionally small and carefully curated. Before anything is confirmed, we talk. I want to understand where you are, what you are carrying, and how you will benefit from the Haven. From there, if it feels like the right fit, we design something meaningful.
From a Recent Retreat
"I arrived at the Haven hot. Fast pace. Brain jumping from one thing to the next. What I remember most is sitting with Laura in Adirondack chairs overlooking Lake Superior. We were talking about something I needed to retire. An identity I'd been carrying too long. Laura held the space for me to name it, and gave me permission to go as slow as I needed to get to the root of what I was actually ready to let go of. Time stopped in those chairs. I felt safe. I felt like I could finally slow down and let my brain rest. I went home with clarity, peace, focus, and confidence in the direction I already knew I wanted to go. I'd been feeling a little guilty about focusing on it. Laura helped me see that focusing was not just allowed, it was the point. And that the right boundaries are what protect the most important work. The Haven is built for the helpers. If that's you, Laura is the person to walk you there."

The Enneagram
Know Yourself. Lead Yourself. Then Lead Others.
The Enneagram isn't a personality box. It's a map to your deeper motivations: the ones driving everything you do, whether you realize it or not.
What It Is
A map to your deeper motivations: not what you do, but why.
The Enneagram describes nine distinct ways of experiencing the world, each with its own core motivation, fear, desire, and path toward growth. It goes far deeper than most personality frameworks because it doesn't just describe behavior. It reveals the architecture underneath it.
Understanding your type gives you access to something most people never get: a clear view of the patterns driving your decisions, relationships, and stress responses, and a real path toward changing them.
The Nine Types

This assessment is a starting point, a way to get oriented. True typing happens in conversation, with time, and with someone who can help you distinguish between who you are and who you've learned to be. Take it as an invitation to curiosity, not a definitive answer.
