About Laura Crooks

I am an RN who left patient care to become a certified wellness coach in order to help people shift from controlling their symptoms to actually improving their health and functioning at an optimal level of wellness.  For years I helped people understand wellness; now I have found a fabulous way to support people in actually living their wellness.

I specialize in helping experienced dieters keep their weight off permanently.   My approach is holistic; I believe that your weight is determined by your mindset, sleep, happiness, energy, stress, eating, exercise, mood, time management, and values.  Through coaching I help you figure out how to actually make lasting, healthy lifestyle changes.

My nursing background enables me to help you sort through the abundance of confusing health-related information available.  My adult education experience lets me present the information in a way that makes it relevant and easy to use.  My coaching training enhances my ability to meet you where you are in the change process and successfully move forward.

My education includes a B.N. from the University of Michigan, an M.Ed. from Penn State University, and a certification as a wellness coach from Wellcoaches.
