Laura is an advanced, certified level 2 trainer and marathon runner.
Laura has run 13 marathons and many more half marathons. She started her Lagree practice as a complementary training to her marathon training for injury prevention. Training with Lagree minimized all potential new injuries and eliminated all her chronic injuries, pain and joint issues. This is where her Lagree journey began.
The love of this method and the Lagree culture led her to become certified and has taken her down a life changing path. Lagree is physically, mentally and emotionally rewarding. Laura teaches at multiple studios in the Los Angeles area and for Lagree On Demand. She has visited multiple studios taking classes in Kauai, Sacramento, all over SoCal, Paris and London. Laura plans on continuing to travel, visiting Lagree studios along the way.
Laura can’t wait to continue spreading her love of this method. It gives her great joy to see the progress, benefits and life changing results this brings to all her clients.
