Biography

Athlete from the Start

Laura was born on the outskirts of Toronto, Canada in 1985. As a child, competitive sports became something that Laura was heavily involved with – taking part in soccer and running track regularly.

By the time she reached high school, Laura decided to expand her love for competitive sports. It was at this point, Laura began swimming and taking part in gymnastics – fulfilling her desire to lead an active lifestyle.

Soon enough, Laura found that she wanted to build upon her athletic physique. However, Laura didn’t really have a clue where to start. Because of this, she failed to make progress due to a lack of consistency and failure to follow a suitable workout and nutrition program.

Even though Laura had a deep passion for keeping fit, with years of swimming, gymnastics, and weightlifting under her belt, she slowly lost touch with her fitness goals, and her overall health when she entered University. She began taking part in modeling shoots throughout her time in college, but she quickly fell out of love with training in the gym due to her busy lifestyle.

University Lifestyle

During her time at university, Laura spent her days partying, paying little attention to her nutrition and sleeping irregularly. As a result of this, her fitness levels soon began to suffer. During this period, keeping fit was no longer a priority for her.

Throughout her early university career, Laura followed a hectic schedule that involved not only attending lectures, also modeling photo shoots. Because of this, Laura barely had any time for herself. Soon enough, this began to have a negative impact on her life.

It was at this point, her life began to commence on a downward spiral. Laura’s disorganized and unhealthy lifestyle meant that for some time, she relied on prescription drugs and suffered from anemia as a result of her poor eating habits.

But one day, that all began to change, when Laura realized that it was now or never – being the only one that could improve her life. From this moment onward, her love for fitness was reignited. Because of this new found passion for her health, she was motivated more than ever to get her life back.

Dedicated to Helping Others

Laura began training consistently, determined to push past any negative aspects of her life. She worked out at least 30 minutes a day, 3-4 times per week, aiming to regain her fitness levels.

Laura continued to train regularly right up until her graduation from university, when she became a registered nurse. After overcoming a period of ill-health herself, Laura became dedicated to help others follow her lead.

However, Laura also wanted to make a success out of her fitness modelling career. Eventually, she achieved just that – earning WBFF Pro status in 2011, alongside becoming a cover model for a world-famous fitness magazine in 2013.

After reaching her own fitness goals, Laura became an influential personal trainer, inspiring people across the world with her story.
