what willpower

I’m Laura Coglianese, LJ for short. 

I don’t coach your sport. I don’t coach your career. I coach what’s in the way.

Whether you’re an athlete freezing under pressure or a high performer hitting the same ceiling over and over, the root is usually the same. A pattern running quietly in the background that more reps, more strategy, and more willpower haven’t touched.

I’m a licensed social worker and certified EFT practitioner.

I work with what no one else is coaching: your subconscious mind and nervous system. The internal stuff that shows up right when the stakes are highest. And keeps showing up, no matter what you try.

Which One Are You?

When the pressure is external

You perform in front of people who are watching to see if you deliver. A crowd, a client, a board, a scoreboard. The pressure comes from outside you and your body has learned to respond to it whether you want it to or not.

  • You put in the work and something still shifts the second the stakes go up

  • You freeze, tighten, or spiral in the exact moments that matter most

  • A bad outcome follows you into the next one and you cannot shake it loose

  • You have tried the mindset work, the visualization, the pep talks. Still hitting the same wall.

  • Your training is dialed in. Your nervous system was never trained at all. That is what we work with.

when the exposure is the pressure

You built something people can see. A brand, an audience, a business with your name on it. The freeze does not happen before a big moment, it happens before the ordinary ones. The post you almost do not publish. The idea you sit on for three months. The gap between who you are when the camera is on and who you actually are.

  • You know exactly what to say and still cannot make yourself hit record

  • You self-sabotage in ways you can see clearly and still can't stop

  • You've done therapy, read the books, tried the habits but something still hasn't shifted

  • The harder you push, the more it feels like you're working against yourself

  • The pattern isn't a character flaw. It's a nervous system response. And it's trainable.

  • "Her sessions have been transformative"

    Before discovering EFT with Laura, I struggled with nauseating anxiety and lacked confidence in my career. Now, thanks to her expertise, I can sleep sound the night before big events and approach them with newfound confidence. Her sessions have been transformative, and I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking emotional well-being and professional empowerment.

  • "Her approach is different, and it works"

    Laura’s expertise and passion for helping others are evident in every interaction. She has an incredible ability to see your potential even when you can’t, and she’s dedicated to helping you achieve your biggest dreams. If you’re serious about leveling up, Laura is the coach you need. Her approach is different, and it works.

  • "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.
