Hi I’m Laura, I help people look and feel their best by living holistically and sustainably.



I’m a World traveling expat Mama, Yoga teacher, Holistic Health Coach & founder of Sacred Hoop Holistic Living.

A little about what brought me to create Sacred Hoop Holistic Living-

Sacred Hoop Holistic Living was born out of a longing to GIVE back to Mother Earth. I’ve always had a deep connection to nature, whether it was finding solace under the ocean while scuba diving or taking a long walk in the jungle. Connecting with nature is my way to heal and rejuvenate. I often wonder how I can reciprocate the endless love from Mother Nature. I bow in reverence daily through my yoga practice and daily rituals and I strive to live sustainably and  holistically, in harmony with nature.

My Yoga journey - I was deeply dedicated to teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga for over a decade when a fall from a date palm tree in Saudi Arabia left me unable to practice and teach the vigorous style of yoga that is so dear to my heart. Through my recovery process and hundreds of hours of deep inner work I found that my life purpose has shifted. I was reminded that sometimes good things fall apart (or from a tree) so better things can fall together.The universe nudged me off the yoga mat and into the world to serve in a different way. Creating Sacred Hoop Holistic Living has given me the opportunity to serve on and off the yoga mat. Through one-on-one Holistic Health Coaching, group classes, workshops and retreats.

I am a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I studied dietary theories spanning the world from ancient Eastern Traditions to modern Western medicine.  Learning from nutrition experts, integrative health researchers, and functional medicine doctors. I gained a deep understanding of functional nutrition, the mind-body connection, and the healing power of whole foods. With this knowledge and my experience teaching hundreds of yoga students my toolbox is now overflowing with tools to help YOU live a more healthful, joyous, holistic life!

I like to remind my clients that I’m not here to provide deep information, I’m here to provide deep transformation! In a world where anything we've ever wanted to know is at our fingertips (for free) why do we still feel sick, anxious, depressed and disconnected from ourselves and nature? The tools for a healthy holistic life have been given to us but the answers are not on Google! I’m excited to guide you through your personal process :)
