ABOUT LAURA FOLKES

I’m a national board certified health coach and experienced client success professional with a unique blend of empathy, insight, and strategic thinking. With extensive experience across advertising, customer success, and health coaching, I specialize in helping people and organizations get to the root of what holds them back—whether that’s in their personal wellness journey or in scaling effective, impactful programs.In my coaching practice, I support clients in transforming their relationship with food by exploring the underlying beliefs and behaviors that drive self-sabotage. After losing 60 pounds and navigating my own emotional relationship with food, I became passionate about helping others understand why they know what they should be doing, but still feel stuck. For nearly a decade, I’ve built trusted, judgment-free spaces where clients can open up, gain clarity, and finally experience sustainable change.My background in advertising and client services has equipped me with deep experience in building strong stakeholder relationships, managing large-scale projects, and delivering results. I’ve partnered with clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to midsize organization, always focusing on client satisfaction, strategic growth, and seamless execution.Today, I bring together my experience in human behavior, emotional intelligence, and client partnership to make a meaningful impact—whether it’s through 1:1 coaching, group workshops, or supporting enterprise customers in achieving their goals.Let’s connect—whether you\'re looking to explore what\'s getting in the way of lasting change, or need a partner who knows how to deliver results with heart.
