I believe God has revealed all we need to know to thrive and enjoy meaningful relationships with Him, others and ourselves.
Unfortunately, too many women get overwhelmed when it comes to actually turning the wisdom found in the pages of Scripture into an actionable solution to their challenges.
Hi! I’m Laura
Certified Life Coach
I founded Agape Soul Spa to provide a judgment-free space of unconditional love where I coach high-achieving Christian women on how to enjoy soul-satisfying relationships.
Here you’ll discover how to renew your mind and revitalize your relationships using cutting edge neuroscience and coaching skills all grounded in the eternal truth of the Bible.
Think of it as a spa for your soul where your makeover really does change your life.
Begin your makeover today!
Do you long for more satisfying relationships?
Do you wish you could effectively engage with the challenging people in your life?
How would it feel to confidently show up as your true self and not fear the reactions of others?
It’s truly possible!
I know because I’ve had my own life transforming makeover.
My first Bible study was a homework assignment from my therapist. I was not amused.
I was 26 and a hot mess. As I struggled to deal for the first time with the impact of the sexual abuse I had experienced as a child, depression swallowed me up.
My therapist asked what I had enjoyed doing before the dark cloud of depression set in. I said learning. So she tasked me with signing up for a “highly structured, high accountability” course.
At the time, I wasn’t even sure I believed in God. And I for sure couldn’t have told you what some dude hanging on a cross 2000 years ago had to do with me.
But with no job, a college class was out of the question. So I signed up for a course at my parents’ church designed to help adults deal with childhood trauma.
I sauntered into that class with a chip on my shoulder the size of Mount Rushmore and filled with cynicism (but also secretly hoping I’d find help).
What I learned in that class brought about such a healing transformation in me that my Jewish therapist asked the pastor teaching the class what he was teaching me.
I ENCOUNTERED JESUS.
I LEARNED ABOUT SETTING HEALTHY BOUNDARIES, SHUTTING DOWN NEGATIVE SELF-TALK, AND DEVELOPING HEALTHY COPING STRATEGIES.
I couldn’t get enough of God’s Word and personal development after that.
What I loved most was helping others apply the eternal truth and grace within the pages of Scripture to their real lives.
I discovered I had a gift for making those ancient words practical and applicable to the challenges of daily life.
And I still love it
more than 20 years later.
I now leverage my Biblical expertise along with my coaching skills, tools and techniques to help high achieving Christian women cultivate true confidence and emotional freedom so they can create the soul-satisfying relationships they’ve longed for.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became an adult, I set aside childish ways.
—1 Corinthians 13:11 (NET)
Why coach with me?
You’ve been struggling for a while and it’s starting to feel like you’ve tried everything but nothing’s worked.
So you might be asking…
“What makes Christian life coaching different?“
and
“Why should I choose you as my coach?“
I’m so glad you asked.
Christian life coaching combines the eternal truth found in the Scriptures with cutting edge neuroscience and the guidance of a supportive and well trained coach.
In a judgement-free space of unconditional love, I’ll teach you essential concepts, biblical principles, and guide you in completing practical exercises so you can achieve your own soul-deep makeover.
I’ve spent over 20 years intensely studying the Scriptures.
I’ve studied systematic theology, Christian doctrine, and hermeneutics (that’s the scholarly word for “sound Biblical interpretation”).
I served on staff at a 4,000 member congregation as the Director of Discipleship.
And I’ve taught Bible studies for over twenty years, including publishing one of my own. (That’s me when the first copies of that study arrived from my publisher.)
I DON’T BELIEVE GOD’S TRUTH SHOULD JUST BE THE SPRINKLES ON THE SOLUTION SUNDAE.
THE GOSPEL IS THE FOUNDATION ON WHICH TRUE TRANSFORMATION IS BUILT.
But I also know you need more than just another pretty Bible study that packages the principles into entertaining stories but gives no practical guidance on how to actually apply those to solve your problems.
I’m Invested in Your Transformation
I’ve spent over $18,000 achieving the BEST training in the life coaching industry. In fact, the school from which I earned my certification is known as “the Harvard” of coach training programs.
And I’ve invested an additional $20,000 in my own coaching and personal development.
When you coach with me, you’ll leverage not only that elite-level training but also my decades of experience applying God’s Word to real life challenges and pursuits.
You’ll discover what the Bible says you should do, and you’ll also get coached on how to actually do it and reap real results.
