Laurie Martin’s life began on a family farm, where hard work, grit, and the steady support of her family shaped her understanding of resilience—and taught her the ways “how to” turn adversity into lessons that shift into positive life experiences, often with heartfelt humour that seemed to appear just when it was needed most. Life wasn’t easy—missteps, betrayals, secrecy, and setbacks marked her path—but each challenge guided her toward the career she has been privileged to build today.

For over 25 years, Laurie has worked at the intersection of leadership, loss, and lived adversity, supporting people through life’s unexpected challenges—trauma, crisis, disruption, and the transformative opportunities they can bring. Her work is grounded in both personal and professional experience and guided by the belief that clarity provides strength. She teaches that forward movement comes from understanding oneself and others, nurturing connection, honesty, and staying present—not relying on fixes.

Known for her compassion, warmth, and grounded guidance, Laurie meets people where they are. An overcomer herself, she helps others navigate life’s challenges with steadiness, insight, and humanity. Clients describe her as compassionate, authentic, relatable, and engaging. She supports leaders and teams in building psychological safety, self-awareness, and practical strategies for real-time situations, helping them stay present and effective under pressure. She also works one-to-one with individuals navigating trauma, loss, relationship challenges, illness, or the quieter struggles of feeling stuck or disconnected—guiding them toward steadiness, confidence, and forward momentum.

For those seeking body-based guidance, Laurie offers yoga, fitness, and wellness practices that strengthen the whole body, regulate the nervous system, and cultivate sustainable wellbeing—ideal for individuals, team-building sessions, or conference breakouts.
