Ways to Work Together
Begin the Journey
Meeting Your Inner Buddha
Learning to slow down, get still, and actually listen to yourself.
Unleashing the Jester
Why joy isn't frivolous, and how to let yourself have more of it.
Crowning the Queen
Stepping into your power with grace, boundaries, and zero apologies.
Whether you're looking for one-on-one support, a transformative group experience, or simply a voice that makes you feel seen, there's a place for you here.
Individual Therapy
A safe space to explore, heal, and grow.
With warmth, honesty, and deep compassion, Laurie offers individual therapy for women navigating life's most meaningful, and sometimes most challenging, chapters. With over 20+ years of counseling and mindfulness practice, she brings a depth of experience to every session. Whether you're working through anxiety, relationship patterns, life transitions, or longing for more insight, therapy with Laurie is a place where you can finally exhale.
The BJQ Method™
Become the woman each moment asks you to be.
The BJQ Method™ is a live weekly practice designed to help women reconnect with themselves through three timeless archetypes: the Buddha, the Jester, and the Queen.
Life often leaves us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or simply going through the motions. The BJQ Method offers a different path. Rather than trying to fix yourself, you'll learn to pause, ask one transformative question, "What do I need?" and consciously choose the qualities that best serve the moment.
The Buddha cultivates presence, calm, compassion, and deep listening. The Jester awakens curiosity, creativity, joy, resilience, and resourcefulness. The Queen embodies confidence, grace, humility, discernment, and authentic leadership.
Over live Zoom sessions, you'll learn how to recognize which qualities are needed in your daily life and intentionally practice them. As awareness grows, reactive patterns begin to soften, your choices become more aligned with your values, and you develop greater trust in yourself.
The BJQ Method isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering the wisdom, joy, and strength that have always been within you, and learning to embody them with intention, one moment at a time.
BJQ Retreats
Immersive experiences designed to restore and reconnect.
A retreat for women ready to live in devotion to what matters most.
Laurie's retreats are intimate, thoughtfully curated experiences designed for women who sense there is more available to them, not more to do, but a deeper way of being.
Together, we explore mindfulness, joy, values, and sovereignty through the wisdom of the Buddha, the playfulness of the Jester, and the self-honoring leadership of the Queen. These archetypes offer a compassionate framework for recognizing what may be missing in your life, and for cultivating the qualities that help you return to yourself.
Through heartfelt conversation, shared experiences, laughter, adventure, and quiet moments of reflection, you'll reconnect with your own wisdom and the woman you've always been beneath the expectations of the world.
You'll leave with more than memories.
You'll leave with a renewed relationship to yourself, and a deeper devotion to the life you're here to live.
The Podcast
Real talk about mindful living, joy, and everything in between.
Laurie's podcast is the girlfriend conversation you didn't know you needed. Each episode dives into the real stuff, the messy, the meaningful, the hilarious, and the profound. With guests who are living it and insights that actually land, it's the kind of listening that makes you feel less alone and more alive.
The Book
A Girlfriend's Guide to a Mindful (and Joyful) Life.
Sitting Pretty is the book Laurie wishes she'd had — funny, honest, and deeply practical. It points to everyday wisdom and behaviors of the Buddha that can bring more joy and presence to your life. A good place to begin your journey!
