MEET LAURA DUBOIS

I Rebuilt My Life and Career From the Ground Up—Now I Help You Do the Same.

I built a life that checked all the boxes: management role, single mom status handled, house bought, husband met. But behind the scenes, I was running on fumes. It took a cancer diagnosis to stop the runaway train and force me to reevaluate everything.

During recovery, I saw how far I'd strayed from the life I actually wanted. I didn’t just want a career—I wanted vitality, freedom, and purpose. That shift led me to coaching, and now I help other mission-driven professionals reconnect with what lights them up and design their next chapter with intention and direction.

My life looked solid on the outside. I was a respected Physical Therapist in a management role, a proud single mom who owned her home, and newly in love with the man who’d become my husband. Check, check, check.

But behind that curated success story, I was struggling. I was the boss at work and the boss at home. I had no time to rest, reflect, or recover. I felt like the conductor of a train I couldn’t stop—because if I did, everything would crash. So I kept going… on caffeine, sugar, and sheer grit.

Then cancer stopped the train for me.

That diagnosis—and the 18 months of treatment that followed—gave me something I never gave myself: space. Space to think, to rest, to feel. I realized I’d built a life that didn’t feel like mine anymore. I was exhausted, depleted, and quietly grieving the career I once loved but had long outgrown.

That reckoning changed everything. I decided to listen—to myself, to my body, to my spirit. I became a certified coach and poured my experience, training, and hard-won insight into helping others who feel the same stuckness I once did.

Today, I work with ambitious, heart-centered professionals who know there’s more to life than checking boxes and chasing gold stars. They’re ready to pivot, but don’t know how—or if—it’s “too late.” Spoiler: it’s never too late.

Whether it’s burnout, boredom, or just that quiet voice inside saying “this isn’t it,” I help you get honest, get clear, and get moving toward a life and career that actually fit who you are now.

”Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take a step.”

― Naeem Callaway

My approach

Honest. Insightful. Funny. Fierce.

You’re not here for fluff, and I’m not the coach who’s gonna blow smoke. I’m a pragmatic, get-it-done kind of gal who values science, logic, and what actually works. And yet… I also believe in soul lessons, intuitive nudges, and the kind of cosmic timing that makes you say, “Damn, that’s wild.” So if you’re looking for a coach who can hold the data and the divine, welcome—you’ve found her.

My Coaching Philosophy

Honesty

I’m transparent and direct—what you see is what you get. I’ll tell you the truth with compassion, and I expect the same in return. My BS radar is dialed in, so we won’t waste time dancing around what’s really going on.

Perspective

I’ve lived some sh*t. Like you, I’ve faced curveballs and crossroads. I’ve reinvented myself more than once, and all that experience helps me see the bigger picture—yours, mine, and the collective human messiness we’re all navigating. I help you zoom out, make sense of it all, and move forward with clarity.

Humor

Life’s too short to be serious all the time. I bring levity and silliness to our work—because sometimes laughter is the best medicine, and other times it’s just the fastest way to find the truth.

Social Intelligence

I can read a room in 2 seconds flat. It’s part nature, part nurture, and it means I know when to push, when to pause, and how to create an environment that feels both brave and safe. I’ll hold the space for you to stretch, stumble, and grow.

Hope

Even in your messiest, most uncertain moments, I believe in you. Not in a unicorns-and-rainbows way, but because I know transformation is possible. Hope shows up in my coaching as powerful questions, expanded possibilities, and a calm, steady trust that you’ll get to where you need to go.

How My Strengths Serve You

According to CliftonStrengths, my top natural talents are:

Futuristic – I help you envision a bold, meaningful future and get excited about it.
Relator – I build deep trust quickly, so we can go there—to the hard stuff and the big dreams.
Intellection – I ask deep, thought-provoking questions that open up new awareness.
Activator – I’ll guide you (okay, nudge or push if needed!) out of the thinking loop and into aligned action.
Maximizer – I spot your potential and help you own it. No playing small on my watch.

Combine all that with my VIA values—honesty, perspective, humor, social intelligence, and hope—and you’ve got a coach who brings both head and heart, soul and strategy.

Ready to get real, get clear, and start moving toward the life and work you actually want? Let’s talk. This isn’t just coaching.
This is your wake-up call.

Credentials & Training

I’m trained in habit change, transformational coaching, NLP, motivational interviewing, appreciative inquiry, and non-violent communication. (Yeah, it sounds fancy—but here’s what it actually means for you:)

I’ve got the tools to help you break old patterns, shift your mindset, and move forward with clarity and confidence. And I know what it’s like to be in the messy middle of change—because I’ve lived it.

My roots are in health and wellness. I started out as an Exercise Physiologist and Personal Trainer, then earned my Master’s in Physical Therapy and spent years in the trenches as a Licensed PT, helping people rebuild from the ground up. Eventually, I added board certification as a Health & Wellness Coach (NBHWC), a credential created in partnership with the National Board of Medical Examiners.

Bottom line: I’ve walked the walk—through career shifts, burnout, healing, and reinvention. I know the science of change and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. And I’m here to help you navigate both with skill, compassion, and zero B.S.
