OwnHER
Coaching
Experience
I’m Laura Meadows, a certified fitness and nutrition coach helping women in their 40s and 50s rebuild their strength, energy, and confidence. Through my OwnHER Framework, I teach women how to move, nourish, restore, and anchor their health so they can thrive in their perimenopause years.
About Me
Laura founded Laura Meadows Strong Health & Fitness to help women take ownership of their health and well-being. She works with women in their perimenopause years and beyond who want to regain their energy, confidence, and strength through a balanced, sustainable approach to fitness, nutrition, and self-care.
Through her signature OwnHER Framework, Laura begins with a full lifestyle audit and meets you where you are — tailoring her approach to your lifestyle, goals, and season of life, vs squeezing you into a cookie cutter program. Combining education, mindset work, and practical strategies, she helps you set clear goals, connect to your deeper why, and build a health foundation that lasts as you get started on your health and fitness journey.

Why choose this approach?
Clarity over overwhelm
Most women I work with are not lazy or unmotivated. They are overwhelmed by conflicting workouts, nutrition rules, and advice. This program gives you a clear starting point and replaces noise with a simple, structured foundation you can actually follow.
Foundations not extremes
Instead of chasing perfect plans or pushing harder, we focus on movement, nourishment, recovery, and stress support in the right order. Nailing the basics creates progress that feels steady, realistic, and sustainable in real life.
Built around you, not a template
This is not a one size fits all plan. Your training, nutrition, and habits are adjusted based on your check ins, real data, and current life demands. When things change, your plan changes so you keep moving forward instead of starting over.
We build a strong foundation for health and fitness that adapts to your changing body and real life demands.
OwnHER is for women who are tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure where to start.
Together, we build a health and fitness foundation around your real life, your energy, and this stage you are in. Not perfection. Not extremes. Just the basics that matter most, done consistently with support.
This is where confusion turns into clarity, effort turns into confidence, and starting over turns into steady progress.
Real experiences from women I coach
Working with Laura Meadows has been such an important part of my health journey. After my surgery, she guided me with compassion and expertise, helping me rebuild strength and confidence through personalized nutrition and fitness support. Recently, as my health status changed, she once again showed her care and adaptability-listening closely, helping me reassess my goals, and creating a plan that aligns with where I am now.
Her approach is thoughtful, encouraging, and always grounded in what's realistic for me. I feel supported, understood, and motivated every step of the way. I'm truly grateful to have Laura as a coach as I continue on my journey of continued wellness. ~Andrea

Meet Laura
Though working in the healthcare industry for over 25 years, it wasn’t until after a lengthy health scare of my own, I found my passion for helping others take ownership over their health and wellness.
For two years, I fought for my life following complications experienced from a routine surgery, feeling a level of poor health, weakness and vulnerability that I never want to feel again.
I chose to take ownership over my health and wellness, and began looking into what all I needed to do, to not only renew my health, but to become the healthiest, strongest version of myself. Scrolling through the internet, reading books, taking screenshots of workouts, meal plans and recipes, countless hours of therapy, self reflection and journaling led to me feeling VERY overwhelmed. Swimming in a sea of recommendations of everything I should be doing, I became paralyzed with analyzing every little detail and yet eager to do it all.
I hired a coach who helped me take that first step. Once I got a taste of good health, strength and vitality, I wanted more. I wanted to not only be the strongest version of myself, I wanted to inspire others to do the same.
Through all of this coaching experience, something within me ignited. A passion for learning the why and how behind what I was doing. Though I have a Masters in Nursing education, I continue to level myself up with my Elite Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coaching Certifications and ongoing education, so I can bring my clients the most informed information and care.
This is your journey. The work is yours, but you do not have to do it alone. I will help you get started, walk alongside you, and support you as you build consistency and keep moving forward when things feel hard.
Book your Consultation
This is a space for us to slow things down and look at the full picture.
During your consultation, we will audit your current health and lifestyle, including movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, and daily routines. We will talk through what is working, what feels hard, and where things may be breaking down.
You will leave with clearer direction and a better understanding of what your body needs right now, whether or not we move forward together.
If OwnHER feels aligned, we can talk about next steps. If not, you will still walk away with clarity instead of guesswork.
No pressure. No obligation. Just an honest conversation about your health and next steps.
