Hi, I’m Laura

I’m the Founder of EPN, and I’ve learned that it’s nearly impossible to follow a system you don’t understand or believe in. My job is to help you see the why behind what we do, so you’re not just following instructions, you’re making informed choices that actually make sense for your life.

Before coaching, I was a packaging engineer, so I’ve always been a little obsessed with systems, spreadsheets, and optimization. But even before that, back at Clemson, I was the student-teacher who helped my classmates survive calculus. That’s where my love for teaching complicated things in a way that clicks really started.

Now, instead of explaining math proofs, I get to teach you how to lift and eat in a way that works optimally for your schedule, and finally understand how your body works.

I work best with go-getters who are done with guesswork. Most of my clients are high-achievers who’ve tracked before, lifted before, tried everything before, and still feel stuck. Whether you’re the analytical type who loves data or a busy professional juggling macros and meetings who’d rather offload the number-crunching to a second set of eyes, I’ll help you understand the why behind what you’re doing so you can make confident, sustainable decisions that last long after coaching ends.

My approach blends data-backed science with real-life strategy: helping busy people build nutrition systems that flex with their season, guiding lifters through intentional muscle-building and fat-loss phases, and helping “data nerds” make peace with the scale by learning what their numbers actually mean.

One of my greatest joys is watching someone finally get it, that moment when they realize they can work with their body instead of against it… and that they can live their best life while eating a lot more food than they ever thought possible.

I love helping clients graduate with a deep understanding of exactly what they need to do and the confidence to do it on their own. Getting a message a year or two later from a former client who’s still thriving independently? That’s the ultimate measure of success for me.

When I’m not coaching or training, you’ll find me hiking with my two dogs, snowboarding, or eyeballs-deep in the latest romantasy series.
