High-performance leadership with soul, science, and full alignment.
In the thick of my burnout, a patient looked at me and said, “Dr. Schwindt, you’re so good at doing it all.” She meant it as a compliment. But it landed in my chest like a truth I could no longer outrun. Yes, I was doing it all. But the things that mattered most were slipping through the cracks. That moment became my breaking point, the catalyst that pushed me to finally hire a life coach. And that one decision changed everything.
After more than a year of working together, something became unmistakably clear: the support, clarity, and transformation I experienced were gifts I felt called to give others. Several years later, I sold my practice, stepped out of the identity I had built, and pursued coach certification through Heroic.
The training didn’t just teach me how to coach. It transformed me.
Going through the program as “Client Zero,” I had one unequivocal realization: if I had possessed these tools, this mindset, and this level of support back in dental school and throughout my early career, I would never have reached burnout in the first place.
In that moment, I made a vow.
I would bring this work wholeheartedly to every person I touch. Through coaching, speaking, and workshop facilitation, I’m committed to advancing Heroic’s mission to help 51 percent of humanity flourish by 2051.
This is the work that changed my life. Now it’s the work I’m here to share.

Former dentist and practice owner
Dr. Laura Schwindt is a catalyst for human flourishing, known for helping accomplished, purpose-driven professionals reclaim their vitality, align with what truly fuels them, and lead from their most profound truth. As a dentist, entrepreneur, and former solo-practice owner, she has lived the pressures, perfectionism, and emotional demands of high-stakes careers. She brings that lived experience forward with grounded empathy and rigorous, science-backed methodology.
Her professional foundation spans Heroic Coaching and Heroic Workshop Facilitation, Trauma-Informed Coaching, Mindfulness and Somatic Coaching, and Positive Psychology. Every discipline informs her integrated approach: evidence-based, wisdom-infused, and always centered on the whole human.
Within dentistry, Dr. Laura is both a former clinician and practice owner, and a progressive voice shaping the profession’s future. Her leadership includes co-founding The Mint Door, a pioneering platform for dental well-being; serving as a Founding Member of the International Academy of Dental Life Coaches; earning Fellowship within the Dynamic Speaker Institute; and completing Transformational Trainer certification through LionSpeak. She has served as a Community Builder for The Dental Avengers for Mental Wellness, is a proud member of Dental Entrepreneur Woman, and actively mentors through the Women in Dentistry Mentorship Program. Her influence is rooted in one mission: to elevate the humans who serve others.
At the center of her philosophy is a bold premise: sustainable leadership isn’t created by doing more; it’s created by becoming more you.
Dr. Laura coaches accomplished high-achievers, healthcare professionals, visionary women, entrepreneurs, emerging leaders, and high-performing teams who are ready to realign with their North Star. She guides them back to their inner compass so they can rekindle their radiance, restore their energy, and design their next chapter with clarity, courage, and purpose.
Her work focuses on authentic success: the kind that prioritizes well-being, deepens fulfillment, strengthens relationships, and amplifies impact. She helps high performers slow down just enough to listen to their truth, reconnect with what matters, and lead in a way that expands their gifts far beyond themselves. Because real success isn’t simply what you achieve; it is who you become along the way.
A core pillar of her approach is Heroic Performance Coaching: a system rooted in ancient wisdom, modern science, optimal performance research, and world-class behavioral tools. This framework helps close the gap between who someone is today and who they are capable of being at their best. When combined with somatic intelligence, mindfulness work, trauma-informed practice, and positive psychology, the result is a transformational process that is as soul-led as it is science-backed.
Dr. Laura offers private coaching, immersive workshops, soul-shifting study clubs, speaking engagements, and restorative team retreats. Every experience is designed to ignite clarity, strengthen resilience, elevate leadership, and help individuals and teams show up as their brightest, most grounded selves.
She doesn’t just teach Heroic principles; she lives them.
And she’s devoted to helping others live their own best and most fully expressed lives, one aligned action at a time.
“The meaning and purpose of life is for you to be the-best-version-of-yourself.”
