LAURA MARIE

I am a certified professional life coach with a degree in music education and more than twenty-five years of experience as a performing singer-songwriter. 

*a life coach is not a replacement for a mental health professional. Though I do incorporate mind-body approaches in my coaching, our sessions will focus mainly on setting and achieving specific goals and overcoming obstacles in various areas of your life as a creative person. If you need immediate help for a mental illness or other significant emotional concern, please seek a mental health professional. If you are able, we can work together to address your needs and reach you goals. 

HI! I'm Laura Marie and I'm a music industry survival guide. I can help if you, like me, came to the music industry with big hopes, dreams, and a whole lot of baggage. OR, if you came in expecting a welcome wagon and ended up feeling lost in the woods. 

I am a sexual trauma and suicide attempt survivor diagnosed with OCD and CPTSD who has struggled with debilitating stage fright, anxiety, agoraphobia, and depression. 

Making music was my therapy but being in the music industry triggered all my worst fears and self-sabotaging behaviors. My relationships in and out of the industry were a mess and, because I kept running into predatory people, I was on the verge of quitting more times than I can count. 

After 25+ years of hitting the same obstacles, I finally worked my way around and over them to be exactly who I want to be as an artist and a human being. It's my mission to help others do the same. 

If you are in a creative field and feel alone, out of place, targeted, paralyzed by your insecurities, or stuck in self sabotaging patterns, I'm here to help you find and follow the one thing that can get you through:

 your own internal compass

Trust me! You have one and the way to get what you really want out of your career is to learn to trust it.
