let’s skip the

small talk

I’m LJ, and I see people differently. 

I’m a licensed social worker, certified EFT practitioner, deep feeler, and total straight shooter…with a very healthy dose of sarcasm.

I help high-performing athletes break out of the mental loops that lead to overthinking, inconsistency, and burnout, so they can compete, recover, and lead from a place of confidence and clarity. 

My expertise is in the one part of performance that often gets ignored but impacts everything: the subconscious. That’s where your pressure responses, belief systems, and stuck patterns live—and that’s what we work with.

I didn’t create Mind by LJ because I’ve played at the highest level. I created it because I understand how the brain and nervous system work under pressure. And my method of using EFT reprograms them at both a mental and physical level. The result? Athletes don’t just have new beliefs. They can actually trust those beliefs in the moments that matter the most.

I’m not here to coach your mechanics or fix your form. I’m here to help you shift what’s happening beneath the surface so your full potential can actually show up on game day.

I know what it’s like to look good on paper but feel stuck inside your own head. I’ve had to rebuild my confidence, rework the stories I believed, and stop letting old habits run my life. 

Now, I help athletes destined for greatness do the same: With science-backed tools, real conversations, and zero fluff. At this level, more grit isn’t the answer. 

Deeper work is.

And in case you’re wondering…I was skeptical about EFT too, until I saw the research and experienced it myself. Now I use it every day.

When I’m not coaching, you can find me planning spontaneous travel, making core memories with my nieces and nephews, or deep in a podcast/book as the personal development junkie I am. Layla, my rescue pup and emotional support potato, runs the household and makes up most of my camera roll.

If you’re here because you’re stuck in your own head, over your own excuses, or ready to take your performance to the level your potential deserves: Welcome. You’re in the right place.

Let’s get to work.

  • "I was initially skeptical about EFT"

    Working with Laura has been a game changer for me. I have to admit, I was initially skeptical about EFT and wasn’t sure if tapping could make a real difference. I was amazed at how quickly I felt a shift. After just one session, I experienced a noticeable difference in my anxiety levels and overall mindset. The issues I had been struggling with for years started to unravel and I felt more empowered and focused than ever before.

  • "One of the most genuine people I have ever met."

    For someone passionate about mental health and growth, I was eager to try EFT the moment Laura told me about it. During our first session feeling scared and nervous for no reason but Laura walked me through each step and helped me work through my emotions. To be honest I wouldn’t have been as eager to try EFT if she hadn’t been the one guiding me. Her genuine wish for people to heal, coupled with her constant encouragement and kindness, makes her one of the most genuine people I have ever met.
