Today we’d like to introduce you to Laura Cavallo.

Laura, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I played sports most of my life and excelled on the lacrosse field at UC Berkeley but it wasn’t until my late 20’s that I decided to pursue a career in the health and wellness field. My desire and ambition to help others stemmed from my own personal struggles with pursuing a healthy life. Post-college I lived in New York and I lacked a balanced life: I didn’t eat well; my fitness routine was mediocre and my sleep was less than restful. In addition, I was partying a lot and living paycheck to paycheck: I felt unfulfilled and unhappy with the path I was on. As I approached my five-year mark in New York and the thought of moving back to California had become a daily contemplation I got a startling wakeup call: I was assaulted in broad daylight by a mentally distressed man who passed me on the street. I am lucky that I was not badly physically hurt but mentally and emotionally I was deeply scarred. It was then that I knew I needed to get away from the depleting environment I called home.

I ended up moving to Los Angeles where I had some family and received my personal training certification and began taking self-defense classes. I also started reading every day and taught myself how to eat better. I got more sleep, engaged in creative activities and surrounded myself with positive people: all choices that enhanced my mental and emotional state. I started my fitness career at Equinox Santa Monica and thrived in a wellness environment where I was constantly learning and engaged in a healthier routine with my exercise and diet. My first year at Equinox was coming to a close and I felt I wanted to offer a more personalized and holistic approach to wellness because I know that being healthy is more than working out and eating well. Here I am today coaching clients through healthier habits, one day at a time.

So, let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Live Consciously with LC story. Tell us more about the business.
Live Consciously with LC is a health and wellness company that takes a holistic approach to health and coaches men and women to not only look better but FEEL better too. There are multiple factors that help or hinder us from achieving a healthy lifestyle. By looking at exercise, diet and lifestyle habits I am able to assess where behavior modification needs to take place in order to maximize results for long-term success and happiness. I am most proud of the fact that I am able to coach my clients to success by showing that small but consistent habit changes lead to profound long-term results.
