Download my FREE Ultimate Moms’ Mental Health Toolkit for Supporting Your Teen and YOU

Hey, I'm Laurie, the founder of Staying Active Health & Wellness. I started this business after navigating my own personal crisis with my teenage daughter, who was struggling with mental health challenges. I vividly remember feeling exhausted, frustrated, and overwhelmed, desperately wanting to help her but not knowing where to start.

I’m creating the community that I needed and wanted at this challenging time in my life. I believe that together we're stronger, and I want to be there for you every step of the way. Our community is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your experiences, learn from others, feel heard and understood and get the support and connection you need from other like-minded moms.

I’m a mom to 4 kids. I’m passionate about helping moms learn how to prioritize their own self-care first!  I know that you can do this no matter how stressed, overwhelmed or exhausted you feel. I know that just 5 minutes a day is all you need to start making a difference in your mental, physical and emotional health & well-being. 

My journey: 

It was during this challenging time that I realized the importance of prioritizing my own mental health and well-being. I discovered that by taking control of my own self-care and practicing simple, yet effective, tools like journaling, breathing exercises, and movement routines, I regained a sense of empowerment and control over my own life. This newfound energy and clarity allowed me to support and connect with my daughter in ways I never thought possible.

With a background in the fitness industry and a deep understanding of the impact self-care has on our ability to care for others, I'm here to share my experiences and support other moms facing similar challenges. This is when I started using some simple self-care tools to apply daily.  I started off with just one thing every day consistently.  Journaling was my start.  I have since added daily movement, reading, breathing exercises and meditation. 

Getting support from like-minded moms in a safe space where I could be vulnerable, raw and honest and feel heard, seen and understood was crucial. Community and connection are essential for growth, healing and learning how to be the parent that I want to be. All of these tools, services and support, changed the quality of my life and my ability to manage and deal with the daily stresses and challenges that life throws at us all.

Why all of this matters to you:

You want to go from feeling: helpless, alone and exhausted by your teen's mental health struggles, to feeling: calm, hopeful, and in control of your life - gaining the state of mind needed to create a strong connection with your teen. By prioritizing your own self-care, you are saying YES to being a better parent!  You are able to connect, help and support your teen, when YOU feel supported!

You can’t do this alone! You need a supportive and safe community. A community that provides:

  • a non-judgmental space where you can share your experiences, and learn from others,

  • a place where you can feel heard and understood and get the support you need from like-minded moms.

My approach to self-care is rooted in simplicity and consistency. I advocate for dedicating even 5 minutes a day to your self-care practice, as it can have a profound impact on your mental well-being. By being the example and role model for your teen, you'll create a ripple effect of positive change within your family.

In our supportive community, I strive to foster connection, understanding, and healing. Through shared experiences and a sense of belonging, we can navigate this journey together. My ultimate goal is to help you experience more peace, calm, and hope in your home, while building a strong and lasting connection with your struggling teen.

I'm excited to be part of your journey toward a healthier and more fulfilling relationship with your teen.
