Testimonials
Real change can feel surprisingly simple.
I felt more relaxed than I have in a very long time; Great class with perfect timing - it was a great experience with a calming coach; Loved the hands on techniques and not intimidating atmosphere and Laurie's ability to modify the instruction to the level of the participants; The content was great and presented at a good speed - not too much and not too little - I recommend this class for learning to focus on being present and to improve connection to self and others.
Froedtert Hospital Staff Restorative Retreat Comments
It has been an honor to work with you. I appreciate all you have done for the staff and myself personally. I think the work you did with the mindfulness drop-in sessions made an impact in the lives of those who attended. The reference list and resources you provided the participants were very helpful and supported the science behind the practice. Staff members told me they looked forward to the drop-in sessions and it helped them re-center themselves for the remainder of their workday. The skills and strategies you taught fit in so nicely with our wellness initiatives aimed at improving the overall well-being of our staff at Froedtert health.

We thoroughly enjoyed the yoga and bodywork sessions. Laurie has mastered the craft and creatively infused some education about the mind and body into an incredibly relaxing and beneficial experience.

When Laurie and I started I felt I had lost my joy. I wanted that back - my daily smile, laughter, love for life, energy - everything I did seemed as if it was such a chore at that point. Laurie and I worked together to find out what steps I could take to achieve my goal of getting my joy back. My story is all too familiar these days. I am the one child in the family that takes care of everyone. Caregiver burn out! You just go on with taking care of everyone and deny this could happen to you. Thanks to my Health Coach, Laurie, I now feel that I am on track to continue my journey as a Caregiver. I will cautiously continue and make sure that I always take care of my physical and mental health so that I can be a good Caregiver. Working with my health coach I've learned so much. One of my most valuable lessons in the course is definitely taking a good look at the person that I've become, realizing what my needs are and making them a priority along with other's needs. Thank you Laurie for all of your encouragement each week. Your coaching has been very instrumental in helping me to live life to its fullest again.

About
Tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life.
- Mary Oliver
The early loss of my mother to cancer and growing up in an alcoholic family system were impetus to discover skillful means for healing body, mind and spirit. My coaching is grounded in study and work in the medical and wellness sectors - psychology bachelors, M.D. degree (left family practice residency program to raise my family), trauma-informed somatic therapy, mindfulness, and restorative yoga. I became certified in Health Coaching in 2016 through the Health Coach Institute expanding my skill set with whole foods nutrition, motivational interviewing, and mindset strategies.
The experiences of raising a family, running the Prairie House (guest house and gardens) for 16 years where I hosted hundreds of groups and extended families celebrating life passages, community volunteering, caring for parents, family, and friends at end-of-life and most recently the joy of grandparenting (delivering my last grandchild in an unexpected home birth) lend breadth, depth and the occasional colorful story to the coaching sessions.
Most recently, I worked at the Ommani Center for Integrative Medicine as a health coach and somatic therapist, and my coaching experience includes a keynote presentation on Mindfulness in Medicine for the annual Family Physician's Meeting sponsored by Froedtert Hospital, West Bend; hosting a restorative retreat for Froedtert Nurse Department Heads; facilitation of Introduction to Mindfulness workshops and lunch n learns for groups of up to 50 hospital staff through the Internal Wellness Program at Froedtert Hospital; and providing virtual and in-person mindfulness workshops for IT companies in Wisconsin and Boston.
I strive to meet people where they are and to taper lifestyle education to their specific needs. Health Coaching challenges me to walk the talk and to continue to grow and develop my coaching toolbox. It's an honor and a joy to help people reconnect with a sense of wholeness and relaxation, to reduce pain and stress-related symptoms, and to cultivate stillness - that place where our mental clarity, creativity, emotional balance, resilience and joy flows naturally with ease and grace.
Warmly,
Laurie Sullivan
