Work With Me

Laura Primus is a Bay Area health and wellness expert, certified personal trainer, certified life coach, cancer coach and breast cancer survivor. She specializes in transformative coaching for cancer survivors, cancer patients or those who simply desire an anti-cancer lifestyle.  

Laura’s approach to coaching is refreshingly different because she understands that making the changes to implement an anti-cancer lifestyle can be overwhelming and sometimes confusing.  Laura's coaching focuses on the mind-body connection of each client and works to help them uncover the mental roadblocks that stand in the way of reaching their health goals.

“It’s not just about what you’re feeding your body, but what you’re feeding your brain as well. There is a huge interwovenness between your mind and your physical body that’s vastly underestimated when people want to make healthy lifestyle changes to fight cancer. Awareness of that connection is so important! Those thoughts subconsciously running through our heads, that we don’t even realize we’re thinking, have a tremendous impact on the food we put in our mouths and, ultimately, whether or not we’ll be successful in the changes we try to make.”

In order to create lasting results, Laura coaches clients slowly, focusing on what she calls “one degree shifts” in thinking and action. Through a series of small, easy changes, mental coaching and nutritional education, her clients are able to create a body that naturally repels cancer and more likely to keep cancer at bay.

Over the years, numerous people have her to thank for giving them the tools to become happier, healthier, more energetic and more productive.

Laura lives in Pleasant Hill with her husband Mike and two kids, Grace and Zachary. Laura is a member of the local Business Networking International chapter, Business By Referral.  She has been interviewed by Ronnie Joy, The Midlife Dating Coach, on Right on Time Dating and by Jeena Cho’s The Resilient Lawyer podcast and has had numerous speaking engagements in the San Francisco Bay Area.  

Laura is a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Association of Sports Medicine, a Certified Health Coach through the Institute of Transformational Nutrition, and a Certified Transformation Coach through Holistic MBA.  Additionally, she has been certified in Gut Health through Andrea Nakayama's Whole Body Systems.  She is currently studying to become a Certified Cancer Coach and a Certified Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach.
