Exciting News

Hi Everyone!

I have some exciting news! I am beginning a new business as a Health Coach. I will be working with people on how to reach their health goals, including stress reduction, increasing energy, losing weight, and improving their confidence. I’ll accomplish this by supporting them with their food and lifestyle choices.

As you know I have always have an interest in health and nutrition, and I enjoy sharing this knowledge with my friends, clients, and family. I decided to increase this knowledge and learn, in a formal training program, how to live a better life through eating well and taking care of myself. I am currently enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City. I am not only learning to improve my life, I am also receiving very detailed and careful instruction on how to coach others around food and lifestyle choices. It’s an exciting time!

I look forward to sharing more with you about my new career path, and all of the benefits of this work. I’ll be inviting people to health consultations in the near future, to have the opportunity to support them to create happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. I’ll be making new posts periodically to let you know how my training is progressing. I appreciate being able to share this with you.

I used to loathe the thought of working out! No fun, completely boring, and just plain taxing! After much deliberation over this matter, I came to the conclusion that there must be a better way! I contacted Mimi Lauritsen and explained my fitness troubles! She understood how I felt and and offered me "her" solution to my problem! I now see Mimi for a 30 to 45 minute session twice a week! It is amazing how impactful these sessions are in such a short period of time! She has personalized these sessions to for my body and is able to target the areas I am most concerned with! I have worked muscles I didn't even know I had! At the end of the day I feel great about my accomplishment and more energized than ever! I notice changes in my body everyday which is the best reward of all!

Because of Mimi and her expertise in fitness, I have learned how to adopt a healthier active lifestyle, and over all enjoy a better quality of life! Thanks Mimi! I couldn't do it without you!

I have had the pleasure of working with Mimi as my trainer for the past several years and have been very satisfied with her. She has a great attitude and always listens to my concerns (i.e. problems) both physical and mental. She my goals and works hard to me on track. Mimi is also VERY patient with me which, I'm sure, can be stressful for her. I highly recommend her.

Personal Philosophy

When it comes to fitness, I understand the importance of the fact that there is no “one-size-fits-all” method. Different people have different goals and preferences. When working with clients, I make it my number one priority to understand what each person wants to achieve, and to help them get there safely. As a trainer, I take pleasure in many different forms of working out, and because of this, have the experience to guide my clients in the right direction to reach their goals.

I have a background in ballet, which has helped me to understand the human body and how it works differently for everyone. Through years of learning about my own strengths and weaknesses, I believe that those learning experiences have helped me become an open-minded instructor and trainer. Also, I believe that living a healthy lifestyle means finding the right balance between exercise, nutrition, adequate rest, and still having the time and energy to focus on the other areas in your life.

When it comes to reaching your goals, whether it be weight loss, increased muscle mass, nutritional guidance, increased flexibility, core strength, balance or cardiovascular endurance (or all of those), I can help you achieve these goals in a way that is suited best for you.
