Laurin goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to caring for her clients. She genuinely invests in their well-being, not just in terms of nutrition coaching, but also in their mental health and overall life satisfaction. Her empathy, understanding, and compassion shine through in every interaction we have. She creates a safe and supportive environment where I feel comfortable sharing my concerns and challenges.

One of the things that impresses me most about Laurin is her commitment to personal and professional growth. She consistently seeks to expand her skills, stay on top of industry trends, and discover innovative ways to enhance her coaching methods. This dedication ensures that her clients receive the best possible guidance and support on their journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

Laurin possesses a unique combination of intuition, perception, and clear communication skills. She has an uncanny ability to understand her clients’ needs and tailor her coaching approach accordingly. Whether it’s teaching practical skills or providing emotional guidance, Laurin knows how to empower her clients to take control of their lives and bodies.

Before working with Laurin, I had used local coaches and friends to help me with training and diet, but I would never stick with it. I just kept yo-yo dieting and further damaging my body, mind, and soul. In the beginning, we started leveling out my food intake, prioritizing sleep, analyzing blood work, consistently strength training, and not dieting! Even though my goal was (and is) to gain muscle and lose fat for a healthy body composition, we did not talk dieting. The Redefine Healthy approach is to scaffold the client to make intuitive choices and change behaviors over time.

As I gained confidence in my choices, trusted myself to eat well, track my foods accurately, train with intensity, I found so much clarity in my life. I didn’t realize how much energy and brain space my bad relationship with food was consuming. Getting a handle on food and training gave me space to prioritize what matters most to me. I want (and have!) vibrant relationships, moments of joy, connection with my spouse, spiritual awareness, and true embodiment of myself. Before working with Laurin, I felt like I was watching my life from the sidelines. I was detached from myself. I now make decisions that are in alignment with my priorities.

We’ve battled hormonal changes, injuries, sickness, travel, and guess what, that’s life! I am no different than any other female working full time with a home and spouse. I no longer focus solely on the scale but on how I feel, my body composition, and my movement patterns. My goal is to move well as I age. I’m a 43 year old grandma! I can pick up my grandson, play with him, hike, garden, fish, hunt with my husband and do all the hobbies I enjoy. Although I like the aesthetic of my physical appearance, and I am happy to no longer be carrying extra body fat, I am more pleased with my internal work. I am so grateful I hit “send” on July 30, 2020. I am no longer sitting on the sidelines of my life. I’m square in the middle of my best life.

After program hopping for many years, I made the commitment to work with Laurin. When she started coaching me, I had several goals in mind but also some specific challenges including overnight shift work as a firefighter. The results we achieved were literally life changing!

During our time working together Laurin helped guide me through prepping for four photoshoots, a master’s degree program, an engagement, a wedding, and trying to conceive. I am so thankful we were able to build a solid foundation before I became a new mom!

A quick short encounter on an elliptical back in 2016 is when I had my very first conversation with Laurin and learned of her journey to becoming an IFBB Bikini Pro. Being a competitor myself I knew what an accomplishment that was, there was immediate admiration, and respect. Over time there have been many welcomed moments that provided an opportunity for me to spend some time with Laurin and learn more about the uniquely special gift she has as a human, a coach, a confidant, a colleague and a friend.

After making my Pro debut in 2021, to about mid 2022, life brought upon a series of unexpected challenging experiences. My path became unclear, and the foundational habits I had built around the specificity of setting goals seemed impossible to maintain.

It was as if I lost all my power, my control. My life had suddenly become different, and I had to rebuild a different type of foundation. One that would align with where I was currently, without having such specific goals attached. With such an unfamiliar path ahead, I sought out Laurin and her team for guidance.

This past year working with Laurin has given me back the power to clearly articulate a different type of vision for myself. Defining new priorities, finding balance within my current life, and achieving a new vision for the future. This by far has been one of the best decisions I could have made for myself. It’s truly been an amazing year of internal growth!

Since 8th grade, I went through waves of obesity, anorexia, binging, you name it. I struggled for over 10 years until 2019 when I reached out and started working with Karina. It’s one thing to say you’re being authentic, and another to take action. I’m finally in a space where I am being true to myself, and it shows. I wouldn’t be where I am today without this team. Through coaching, my mindset has completely changed with the way I look and feel.

We went through a bodybuilding prep together and then the hard part: post-prep. The process of regaining weight and learning to love your body for more than the way it looks is so hard. It was way harder than any diet ever could be but over time, I’ve been able to embrace my body whether I am in an offseason, prepping, or what have you. I have learned what it’s like to eat like a normal person and not be food focused every minute of every day. I have actually been able to maintain a healthy weight without tracking food!

I have become stronger than ever and I’ve never felt better. I don’t have the words to describe how grateful I am for that. The way that Laurin, Karina, and all the coaches are true to themselves and what they believe is what drew me in, and it was the best decision I ever made. This team has given me a safe space to learn who I am, what I want, and what I need. The years since 2019 have been hard work to get here but it is worth it a million times over and working with the coaches here is the only reason that became possible for me.
