A lifelong educator and devoted mother of three, Laura brings a deep commitment to nurturing growth, connection, and belonging—whether in families, classrooms, or communities. Guided by her belief that care begins with presence, she finds joy in gathering people together around wholesome, nourishing meals made with intention and love.

Her work and spirit embody the essence of the Water Bearer Collective: cultivating empowerment, connection, and compassion from the inside out. Laura believes that when we tend the Well Within—body, mind, heart, spirit, and purpose—we create ripples of strength and healing that extend far beyond ourselves, nourishing the communities we call home.
