Pathways to Rekindle
Your Clarity
When you’re ready to design what’s next, not from pressure, but from purpose…
Here are the three ways we can work together.
Each one is a different doorway back to your brilliance.

Profound personal realignment, clarity, and renewal.
This is bespoke, transformational work for accomplished high achievers ready to reconnect with themselves and create their next chapter with intention.

Workshops & Retreats: Collective Clarity + Renewal
Immersive experiences for teams, groups, and organizations ready to evolve.
Whether it’s a vitality reset, a clarity intensive, or a full-spectrum leadership retreat, these gatherings cut through the noise and make room for the conversations that change everything. They invite your people to step out of autopilot, reclaim their presence, and engage with the deeper work beneath the work.
Your leaders walk away steady, energized, and vividly reconnected to what matters most, equipped to move forward with clarity and conviction.
Available as Lunch and Learns, half-day sessions, or full-day retreats, each experience meets your people where they are and elevates them into who they’re ready to become.

Speaking: Ignite Your Audience’s Next Evolution
Soulful, strategic keynotes for leaders and teams.
My talks invite accomplished high performers to step into a new model of success, one rooted in alignment, vitality, and the kind of clarity that makes exceptional work feel effortless again. This is where purpose replaces aimless striving, and where high achievers remember the deeper why behind all they’ve built.
These are not motivational speeches. They are catalytic invitations: to pause, to question old stories, to rise in a way that feels truer, steadier, and profoundly more sustainable.
Offered as keynotes, 90-minute sessions, and half-day or full-day workshops, each experience meets your people exactly where they are and opens the doorway to who they’re ready to become.
Your team doesn't have a performance problem.
They have a nervous system problem.
And it's costing your organization more than you think.
Bring the Energy.
Shift the Room.
Move Beyond Overdrive. Lead From Within.
Keynotes, workshops, and transformational experiences that help high-achievers move beyond cognitive overdrive, reconnect with purpose, and lead with clarity, courage, and embodied presence.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I'm a dentist who became an Embodied Leadership Coach and Certified Heroic Performance Coach, based in Denver, Colorado. I help dentists who look successful on paper but are running on empty in their own bodies. They've built the whole practice, the whole life, and quietly lost themselves somewhere inside it.
-
Yes. I hold a DDS, and I owned and operated my own dental practice for years. I know the production pressure, the staff and patient load, and what eight hours of tension at the chair does to your jaw and shoulders. I didn't study this from the outside. I lived it, and that's where this work comes from.
-
No. I'm a coach, not a licensed therapist, and coaching is not a substitute for therapy or medical care. Therapy often works on healing the past. My work is about where you are now and where you want to go: getting clear, getting your energy back, and building a way of working and living you can sustain. Some of my clients also see a therapist, and the two work well together.
-
I'm certified through Heroic, the coaching program founded by Brian Johnson. It draws on positive psychology, behavioral science, and ancient philosophy, and it's built on practical, evidence-based steps rather than motivation alone. I combine that training with what I learned running a practice, plus my own framework for coming back to yourself again and again.
-
Practice owners, associates, specialists, hygienists, and practice leaders. I also work with other healthcare professionals and leaders, but dentists are where my experience runs deepest.
-
No. I work with dentists of every gender. A lot of my speaking happens at women-in-dentistry events, so I understand why people ask, but the weight of practicing dentistry isn't limited to one group.
-
Yes. Associates carry their own version of this: production pressure without control, questions about whether to buy in, and wondering if it's supposed to feel like this. That clinical-to-leadership crossroads is one of the places I'm most useful.
-
Clients most often tell me they feel more grounded, have more energy, and finally have a clear direction. Many say less of their personal stress spills into the practice, so they lead their teams with more steadiness. Others say they've set goals for their family and personal life for the first time in years.
"With Dr. Laura's wisdom and encouragement, I went from feeling constantly drained and anxious to waking up each day with energy, clarity, and a deep sense of meaning in the work I do."
— Dr. Amy Chen, Dentist
-
Practice consultants work on the business: production, systems, scheduling, revenue. That work matters. I work on the person running the career/business. If the practice is doing well and you still feel empty, more systems won't fix it.
-
If you're dealing with depression, anxiety that's getting in the way of daily life, trauma, or thoughts of harming yourself, please start with a licensed mental health professional. If you're functioning well but feel disconnected, depleted, or unsure what's next, coaching is a strong fit. Many people benefit from both.
-
Three things. First, I'm a dentist, and I owned a practice, so you won't spend sessions explaining your world to me. Second, I work with what your body is carrying, not only your mindset or your numbers. Third, I give you a framework you can keep returning to, so the change lasts after our work ends.
-
More normal than anyone in your study club will admit. Many dentists hit a point where their career or practice is working, and they aren't. It doesn't mean you chose the wrong career or that something is wrong with you. It usually means you've been giving everything to the work and nothing back to yourself for a long time.
-
No. And you don't have to decide right now. The first goal is to start feeling better. Then, whether you choose to stay in dentistry in a way you can sustain or to step away, you make that choice from a healthy mindset, not a desperate one. Decisions made from exhaustion are usually about escape. Decisions made from a clear head are about what you actually want.
-
It's private, one-on-one coaching, held virtually, with sessions running 45 to 90 minutes. Each one is tailored to what matters most to you. We apply a proven framework to what's relevant in your life right now, not a generic script. Before each session you set an intention so we start in the right place. Afterward you get notes with the key insights and next steps, plus a short reflection to help it stick. Between sessions, you can reach me by email or text when you need support.
-
It's called The Continuum Method. Its core idea is simple: you don't need an overhaul, you need calibration. Instead of chasing a balance you'll never permanently find, you learn to notice when you've drifted and come back. Return. Adjust. Continue. It's not a one-time fix. It's a framework you can return to again and again, long after we finish working together.
-
Books and podcasts give you ideas, and many of them are good ones. But insight alone rarely changes a week with a packed schedule, a short-staffed front desk, and a body that's been bracing every day since 7 a.m. Coaching is where ideas become action, in your actual life and your actual practice. You have a supportive guide beside you who recognizes the patterns you can't see from the inside, because you're the one living in them. And you have someone who holds you to what you said you wanted, which is the part most of us can't do alone.
-
I offer small groups of pinpoint sessions and three more comprehensive private coaching packages, with an investment starting at $2,625. Each includes between-session support.
North Star Clarity is six sessions, focused on cutting through the noise and naming what's true.
North Star Expansion is nine sessions, for growing into what's next without abandoning yourself.
North Star Embodiment is twelve sessions plus a bonus, for turning it all into how you actually live and lead.
North Star Echo is what comes after Embodiment: a custom build, made with you in session, that reflects your own clarity back to you whenever you need it.
We'll talk through which one fits you, and the investment for each, during your complimentary call.
-
Book a complimentary call called The Pause That Changes Everything. It's about 60 minutes, focused entirely on you, and there's no pitch and no strings. We'll work through one real challenge or goal, and you'll leave with clarity whether or not we work together.
-
Yes. I've spoken at the Rocky Mountain Dental Convention, the Star of the North Minnesota State Dental Conference, the Georgia Dental Association Annual Convention, and the Women In Dentistry Symposium, among others. Many hosts invite me back. My sessions run from a 55-minute keynote or lunch-and-learn to a full-day workshop or retreat.
-
Yes. I offer workshops for doctors and teams across a group, built on the same signature sessions. They're especially useful for associate dentists, who often carry heavy production pressure without much support.
