Laura Timm is a certified life coach and mindfulness teacher for ambitious women at a turning point. Her clients have built full lives and now find those lives are running them. They are ready for a change, even if they can’t yet say exactly what it is.

Laura helps them uncover the patterns driving their anxiety and burnout and reconnect with what really matters to them now, so they can feel confident and energized about the future and enjoy the life they worked so hard to build.

Laura spent thirty-five years in investment industry leadership before becoming a professional coach. She started in public accounting, managed risk on a derivatives trading desk, and later led global investment management firms through organizational change. She raised two children during those years and believed exhaustion was the price of doing it all well.

Mindfulness changed that. A 25-year yoga practice had been supportive, but it was the dedicated practice of mindfulness and studying the neuroscience behind it that changed her relationship to her own thoughts and loosened the perfectionism and pushing through that had been running on autopilot.

As she planned her own career transition, she pursued formal training so she could offer other women what she had experienced.

Laura is an ICF-Certified Coach (Martha Beck Wayfinder), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Facilitator (Brown University), and certified yoga teacher. She trained in the neuroscience of habit change with Dr. Judson Brewer, a neuroscientist at Brown, and continues to study and practice mindfulness, including sitting extended silent retreats each year.

She brings the unique combination of the analytical career, years of contemplative practice, and the insight and compassion from having walked through real transitions of her own to her coaching.

The women she works best with are thoughtful and ready for some honest work. They're looking for a coach who can hold the analytical and the intuitive sides of them at once, and help them design what comes next on their own terms.

Her signature course, The Worry Habit, explains the science behind a mind that never shuts off and offers a practical method for stepping out of the loop.

She also offers workshops, one-on-one coaching, and a six-month program for women at a turning point in their lives who want direction and support to create lasting change and learn skills they can leverage for years to come.
