FOR THE NEW COACH

(Who is wondering WTF NOW?)

You did it. You're certified. You’re a coach.

And you're also still completely, beautifully human.

Which means the doubt showed up right alongside the credential. All those voices, talking over each other, asking:

  • How do I keep believing in myself when everything feels so new?​​

  • How do I hold space for others when I barely have it for myself?

  • Why does showing up for my own life feel harder now than ever?

And the one that keeps you up at night:

​

How do I show up like a real coach when I'm still entrenched in the career I want to leave?

​

Yeah. That one.

If you’re craving a space to keep growing, let's talk.

Is This You?

  • You're a brand-new coach who's supposed to feel ready — but you don't. And nobody warned you how lonely this part would be.

  • You know how powerful coaching is because it worked for you. And now, without that support, you feel like you've lost a lifeline.

  • You left the training bubble and suddenly you're coaching into a void, wondering where your anchor went.

  • You're doing your best to show up for your clients, but inside you're spinning with your own stuff — and you're craving a place to unravel too.

  • Your coaching brain is fired up. Your human brain is exhausted. And you miss having someone help you untangle the life stuff so you can actually show up fully for the people counting on you.

This is Where I Come In

Coaching with me is about digging into who you are and who you get to be — so you can show up fully for your future clients.

​

Because behind every powerful coach is a real, raw, beautifully human person. That's who I work with. That's who I support. That's who I coach.

Laura DuBois on the beach

Hi, I’m Laura. 

 

In addition to my private coaching practice, I teach and mentor coaches in an accredited certification program. I'm a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, a Master Life Coach, and a Career Transition Coach. I've helped hundreds of students go from "what even is coaching?" to board-certified and thriving.

​

And in that journey, I've noticed something that never changes: coaches thrive when they keep getting coached.

 

It's hard to show up fully for your clients when you're wrestling with your own stuff in silence. It's hard to find your coaching voice when you feel like an imposter. And it's really hard to trust yourself in something new when you haven't yet learned to trust yourself in it.

Coaches Need Coaches, Too.

Being a new coach is a unique kind of loneliness.

 

Being a new coach is a unique kind of lonely.

​

Your friends and family don't quite get it. Other coaches seem lightyears ahead. And even though you're trained to help others navigate change, right now you're the one in unfamiliar territory.

​

I've lived every bit of this — the identity shift, the overthinking, the imposter spiral, the "should I just go back to a real job?" loop. As a board certified coach, course instructor, and career-changer myself, I know exactly what you're sitting in right now.

​

And I know you don't have to sit in it alone.

What I Offer Is:

  • High-touch, 1:1 support for new coaches navigating big life, career, and identity shifts.​

  • A space to keep doing the self-development work that drew you to coaching in the first place.

  • The experience of being coached — really coached — so you can walk your talk with your own clients.

What We Work On Together:

Every session is centered on you. Topics might include:

  • Managing imposter syndrome

  • Navigating career and life transitions

  • Staying aligned with your purpose

  • Giving yourself permission to build something new

  • Creating routines that actually sustain your energy and momentum

​

But the agenda is always yours. Whatever is most pressing for you is where we start.

What Coaches Say About Working With Me

"I  knew I needed a change but would never have taken the steps to change if it weren’t for Laura. She never pushed me to a decision one way or another but instead guided me to see how life could be better if I pursued the work that was calling me."

Let's Talk About the Support You Still Need

(Because becoming a coach didn’t magically turn you into a Zen monk— and it was never supposed to.)

You don't have to coach in a vacuum. You don't have to white-knuckle this part. You deserve to feel supported while you support others.

This is a 15-minute call to connect, get a feel for each other, and make sure this is the right fit. No pressure, no promises — just a real conversation to see if we click. If after that we both feel like there's something here worth exploring, I'll invite you into The Real Talk Call, where we really get into it.

 

The first step is just showing up. Everything else follows from there.
