Laura Jack Coaching

Laura Jack is a committed, compassionate and omni-​competent group facilitator and personal coach. I was privileged to work with Laura for four days recently as she provided leadership for a Grief Recovery Method Certification group that I was a part of. Our group was incredibly diverse; spanning differences of race, religion, gender, geography, sexual orientation and perhaps political leanings. Laura has a unique way of making us feel at home with her and with each other. As a recently retired CEO of a national not-​for-​profit organization, I was delighted to meet and work with this emerging leader, learn from Laura and become inspired by her devotion to her discipline. I feel incredibly fortunate to have learned so much from her.

Working with Laura has truly changed me for the better. She’s opened my eyes to so many facets having to do with grief and how it all intertwines into other aspects in life. Her optimistic, encouraging and loving spirit is a joy to know and interact with. Her style is «real» and completely genuine. She seems to know exactly what you need to do to get to the root of the issue within a matter of minutes of talking about it. I attended the Grief Recovery 2-​day workshop and not only was I changed for the better after it, but I saw some amazing transformations in the hearts of others. I highly recommend working with her! — Gina, Austin, TX.

I just completed the grief recovery workshop this past weekend. Laura is such a blessing and you can feel that she is giving her gift to the world! I lost my sister in 2010 tragically and then my Dad 10 months later. I divorced within the next year and half and finally lost my Mom in 2014. I ran really hard away from these deaths only to keep finding myself stuck on a repeated cycle that I didn’t quite know how to get out of. A friend recommended this workshop and I kept making excuses not to go for over a year, but finally had enough of the hurt and sadness and jumped in. I’m so glad I did! The tools make all the difference and the redefinition of how we see grief is transformational!!! I highly recommend this workshop for anyone experiencing any type of loss– I promise you will NOT regret doing this for yourself!

I’ve had the pleasure of following Laura Jack’s work online and working with her in person and she is a warm, compassionate and thoughtful coach and teacher. She makes sharing your grief story so much easier with her understanding presence and her sparkling personality lifts your spirits. She is truly a compassionate witness.

Laura is an outstanding person and teacher. I appreciate how she helped me through the Grief Recovery Method and helped me get certified to teach it. She is filled with joy and love. Her life experiences have given her such compassion for others. With Laura and the Grief Recovery Method, I have found great relief from a very difficult circumstance. She taught me to be free again!

I took a 2 ½ day Personal Grief Recovery Workshop with Laura. My expectations coming in were limited. I was looking to feel lighter and less burdened by unresolved conflict and communication in some of my closest, yet most complicated, relationships. I had doubts about going to the workshop because these people were still alive — was I actually grieving? Would grief recovery help? I wasn’t sure, but Laura assured me it would. The workshop exceeded my expectations. I feel like I truly put the past behind me and was able to let go of resentment, shame, blame, guilt (aka grief!) that I’ve been holding on to for years. Laura compassionately guided the group through some of the most painful but freeing extrication of our most stagnant emotions. Having her share her story and understand that she went through the same process was comforting and motivating because she is truly as example of what it looks like to thrive. Most importantly, I feel like I left with tools to always choosing «thriving» in my life. I highly recommend working with Laura in any capacity if you are dealing with conflicting, confusing emotions that are preventing you from truly thriving.

Laura Jack is a jewell of a person and compassion is a great word to describe her. I had the privilege of being blessed by her four day teaching of the Grief Recovery Method near Nashville, TN. She is one of the best at teaching by first listening to others stories and relating through building relationships. She has a way about her that endures her to people. She is very authentic and open. She too has had grief through loosing her mom suddenly therefore able to relate to grievers. Laura had a huge part in a life changing experience for me and I will be forever grateful. I count her a dear friend and she has even stayed in touch since with me and our group since our training ended. She responds in a timely manner to my emails and other methods of communication.
I would recommend Laura to any person or organization that wants to experience a life change.

For the past 4 ½ years I have been trying to process the tragic death of my sister. During all those years I thought that this is how my life would be from now on, full of sadness, anger, confusion, being scared of anything new, living with constant anxiety and feeling like I was about to explode at any minute. I just happened to stumble across Laura’s Unilocal page when I was searching for grief therapy for my family and I. Laura responded to my email right away asking if we could talk on the phone. The moment we started talking I felt an immediate connection to her. After I realized that my family wasn’t ready to talk to someone, I decided to take this journey on my own and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. Laura is incredibly trustworthy and nonjudgmental. There was never a moment of uneasiness because she welcomed me with open arms and listened to everything I had to say. The program was really beneficial to me because it helped me map out parts of my grief that I wasn’t ready to deal with but once I did, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from me. I’m in a completely different mindset then where I started 8 weeks ago. And I feel like I am finally in a position to start being the person I have wanted to be for so long. It was one of the scariest decisions that I have made for myself in quite a long time, but it was worth every moment.
Thank you for your beautiful soul and the work that you do to heal others, Laura. xoxo

Working with Laura has been an extraordinary experience. I look forward to my sessions because I know that it is safe to talk about ANYTHING, and that no matter how weird or hard my week has been, I will leave the session with a renewed sense of enthusiasm for my life. And the cherry on top, is that I always get some super-​practical action step that takes me closer to achieving my goals for myself. It feels SO GOOD to be heard, understood, acknowledged, and motivated!

My first coaching experience, and I couldn’t be more please. Laura has really helped me get through alot of grief and sadness. She is such a joyful and compassionate being, I can’t recommend her more. Thanks for the love Laura!!!

Working with Laura has been life changing. She is so natural and real. I felt the trust between us immediately. She has the amazing ability to know exactly where you are and what you need. Going to emotionally vulnerable areas can be scary but Laura wraps her wings around you and guides you to the light.

I don’t know how I would have made it through the sudden and devastating loss of my father, had it not been for Laura. Something she taught me was that every loss is different and everyone experiences loss differently. But even though my loss was uniquely my own, she seemed to know how to help me at every turn. Grief is something that we’re ill-​equipped for and after my experience with Laura, I truly believe everyone who is dealing with grief should find themselves a guide to lead them through the darkness. I’d highly recommend Laura to be that guide.

In the midst of a major life change, feeling very overwhelmed and overloaded, Laura helped me to see the beauty in this (& all) change, and in doing so, helped me to truly see this change as a blessing. This not only transformed my self-​worth & confidence, but also helped me move forward with grace, determination, & drive. I could understand acceptance in change– rather than to fear it. This also transferred to all pother areas of my life– relationships, career, etc. This helped decrease stress around many things conjunctively. I highly recommend coaching with Laura, especially for anyone facing a major life change, career transition or a move coaching.

My experience with Laura has been such a trans formative one that I worry my words may be inadequate but here it goes. Aside from the work we have done together the past three months, I really feel as though Laura had targeted me and begun her «work» well prior to this time. Looking back, I think she was just allowing me the time to realize I was ready, when she knew I was all along.
Laura, feels more like a life coach to me than merely a health coach. In addition to improved health and new found energy, she has inspired me to explore new ways of enriching my life. She has also, aided me in finding strength in overcoming many anxieties and changing my daily life so as to simply reduce stress all together.
She has a magnetic and genuine personality; which, is why she is cherished friend by so many, near and far. I owe many heartfelt thank yous to Laura and her work.

The moment that I met them I knew I wanted them to take a deeper look into how I can improve my life. They are very down to earth and easy to talk to. They can help you from life experience to detoxing. They have so many options. I highly recommend them because I know I am a better person because of their help. Without their help, I wouldn’t have tried the new food and I would bottle my emotions instead of dealing with them. Thanks guys!
