Learn more about Dr. Laura Bourne :
Laura was an HR executive for 17 years. She was the person that had to plan and deliver really bad news (tough conversations like you didn’t get the job, we don’t think you are a fit, you are under investigation, you are fired.)
After hundreds (thousands?) of tough conversations that would make you squirm, she noticed the people who could get back up again all shared one thing in common: resiliency.
Determined to understand more about how nutrition, stress, sleep, and emotions affects human performance, she returned to school to become a Holistic Nutritionist.
She approaches her Nutrition Coaching from the viewpoint of productivity & performance.
She teaches tired and burned out leaders, particularly moms, how to make time and space for wellness, and she integrates doTERRA essential oils into the business.
