Client Testimonials
“Coaching with Laura has given me ways to be the best version of myself in my personal and professional life. I went from a fearful call in my basement bathroom, wondering if I could plan a better life, to living my best life working in New York City. Instead of living in fear of negative perceptions, I have chosen to see the positive outcomes of my making good choices about my goals.”

“Laura is a life saver and I am so glad I had her in my corner throughout the divorce process. Call her if you want honest, authentic, knowledgeable help from a very experienced and trained coach. She also was invaluable for my business since she is a leadership coach too. You rock Laura! I highly recommend Laura. She truly is an expert in her field.”
Kathryn Remati
“I was stuck in life, letting all my choices be made for me because I couldn’t make any. Working with Laura, I first defined what I valued most so that I could then move forward, choosing a path that I desired based on my values. I was given the tools I need to make decisions I truly wanted. Now as new challenges pop up in my life, I am able to tune into myself, address my needs and move forward with purpose. I am able to let go of the past or future and make decisions in the present moment. Coaching helped unstick me from whom I thought I was supposed to be and helped me be who I am.”
Natalie Slate
“Laura is, by far, a remarkable coach. I have had an amazing and empowering experience working with her. I am having a really tough time with my life right now. It’s completely upside down and each day is a battle. It’s a long journey toward recovery, but if you are looking to work with someone that will help you and keep you from falling off the edge, she is the person to work with. There’s no judgment, there’s no talking about the past, it’s all about moving forward. We all instinctively want to harp and lament on the past, but Laura does not let you fall into that pit for a long time, because she knows that moving forward is your only option. She helps you realize that focusing on the changes we can make now will shape the future we want. I don’t know what is to become of my future, but I can tell you, that if you told me six months ago I’d be working toward what I am working on now, I’d think you were crazy. Laura has helped me stay the course. She’s there to support you, guide you, and keep you going, no judgment. EVER. I thank the Lord for her every day. Work with a coach, not a psychologist or therapist. They’ll only make you relive the past and for what? So you can dissect something you can’t change? That’s not productive. Working with Laura is. Work with her, you’ll be glad you did. I can 1000% attribute my success to Laura's coaching, guidance and love. Her passion for what she does resonates in her work, and she clearly cares deeply for her clients. There isn't anyone else besides Laura I'd rather have by my side to navigate this journey we call life. I am beyond grateful to have found her 5 years ago. THANK YOU, LAURA! YOU. ARE. REMARKABLE!”

“Having a coach allowed me to proceed through my divorce with confidence, thoughtfulness and good advice from someone who only had my best interest in mind.”
Beth Liess
“Our coaching sessions made me realize that I do matter, my choices and boundaries are my own. No one but myself can dictate these things. Realizing that I’ve been gaslighted by an alcoholic spouse and that I'm not crazy, or alone, has been a valuable realization. It really helped to know i wasn't the first person this happened to.”

“After I left my ex and moved out of the house and before I found Laura, I didn't even know that divorce coaches existed. Following a few therapy sessions, I googled looking for a life coach as I really wanted to move forward fast. Soon I realized that, unfortunately, it wasn’t possible, I had to face the stages of grief as I was still very much in love with my ex and I also had to start my new life. It was overwhelming and extremely painful at times. Laura gave me hope. She held my hand in the first 7 months and I couldn’t have done it without her. I’m still going through the divorce process, but it’s not as challenging as it was at the beginning. I needed someone who knew the ins and outs of the process as I was lost, cut off from the circle of our friends (which was my choice) and my family overseas. The only thing I knew was that no matter what, I had to keep my grace and dignity. It was so challenging at times as I was subjected to numerous manipulations from my ex, but Laura helped me see the bigger picture when all I could sometimes see was the fog. I am deeply grateful for her support, understanding and patience, unlimited email support (which was invaluable) and for her professionalism throughout the process. In addition, Laura helped me with my career and marketing for my new business. Divorce is a huge life changing event and it has its challenges. We can’t do it alone. Family and friends give us the support, but no one really fully understands the pain that it brings like Laura, who has been there herself and has a passion to help us get through to the other side and become even stronger and more independent. My divorce has changed me as a person and with Laura’s help, I found myself again. I would recommend Laura to anyone who wants to turn divorce into a positive event in their lives, no matter how difficult and challenging it is at the start of the process. It has so many learning curves and lessons and Laura is very good at identifying them and helping you grow.”

”I found Laura Miolla while searching for articles on how to deal with a divorce from my wife and my business partner. I read her article and set up a free consultation to see what she had to offer. I was so impressed that I signed up immediately and setup weekly connections. This is a life changing process, if and only if, “YOU” put the time and energy into working on the challenges that Laura puts in front of you. Every person has the ability to get the most out of their lives but most never realize how to make that happen. Laura helps you tap into this natural resource and guides you down a path of self driven success. She is amazing, available, attentive, knowledgeable, and most of all extremely skilled at pushing you while you are in one of the most challenging times of your life. I, HIGHLY recommend Laura Miolla and her services. Call today, if you want to take control of your life, Laura will help you find the way.”
Jeffrey
“Coaching with Laura was meant to be! I had never even heard of a coach. I had met Laura at a workshop, chatted a bit and when I took her business card, I made sure I put it in my wallet so I would not lose it. That phone call was the best way to start 2014 which I vowed would be my year to get this divorce done. I had been separated for a few years and living in limbo. I was “stuck” in my life about how to handle my divorce and my life. I put off all the major decisions, living like a robot with the day to day routines; procrastination was my middle name. The tools Laura has taught me work and I am using them. My captain & crew are inside me now and it feels good to “talk” and “listen” to them. I sure do make them work hard. I have learned things about myself that have been dormant for years. I am excited about my new adventure in life! The word “Moxie” is awesome!”

“If you want to stop the bleeding from the pain, anguish and confusion of being gutted by a narcissist, you can stop it. I found Laura by searching for ‘divorce coach / narcissist’. She is the right fit for this situation. The free consultation is no joke and not a waste of time – it is real and genuine. It was the exact lifeline I was looking for. Her help, understanding and knowledge of how to put together the skills at the right time for the right issue is clear and evident in your first consultation. My audible.com library is a content list of Help Me Help Me books – How to Survive a Narcissist and all of the top books for dealing with the abuse of NPD. My life was gutted two years ago, and I am still crawling out. I was closeted, unknowingly by my husband of 18 years. As he built a separate agenda of hooking up and exploring his sexual identity, I was losing my life, not knowing what the problem was in our marriage but keeping devoted to my vows. Finally, I found his porn addiction, hook ups and lost or hidden money. I found I was a survivor and learned about the Straight Spouse Network. Rebuilding my life at 61 and anxious to get back to thriving again with my creativity, I then found Laura. The caring confidence and skills she offers make me begin to see how I can gain control of this closure and focus on a new beginning. I feel in my heart and know I can thrive again. She is caring, and focused and she’s your road ahead – she can give you the tools you need no matter where you are in this process. She is a real person helping you survive the damage of a fake person. Just what I was hoping to find. Her website, tools, organized manner and concise communication is outstanding.”
Amy
“It’s much easier taking the high road when you are living for yourself and not allowing someone to make you feel a certain way because of their actions. It’s liberating. You’ve taught me some valuable lessons and made me realize what’s important to me and how to be happy again! Thank you! You helped me off the ground when I was down… Words can’t describe…”
Noha
“Words can not express how truly thankful I am for Laura’s guidance. I am definitely not the same person. She transformed my thinking in ways that allowed me to look at my divorce as a blessing, rather than a curse. Thankfully, I can now focus on the things that bring happiness into my life and give my children the love and attention they deserve.”
Tricia Roman
“Laura’s help was invaluable as I transitioned out of a 12-year marriage and a life that felt full of unnecessary pressure, disappointing and frustrating at times. My experience with Laura helped me get a better appreciation of the woman I’ve always been during one of the most difficult timed in my life! From the very first discussion I felt challenged, validated, hopeful and empowered. I’m thrilled about moving forward in my life in greater wisdom, strength, joy and peace!! She is a great listener, holds me accountable to my feelings, choices and actions. She has a gift for making powerful life-changing concepts simple and clear! I tell EVERYONE I meet about her, so many of us suffer in silence with our own personal trauma, she’s truly a healer!”
Caroline Adams
“Laura was invaluable in helping me through my divorce in a graceful and amicable way. I was terrified of the process, but Laura helped me break it down into manageable "next steps" to be accomplished one by one. She also gave me infinite support in loving myself through it all. After my divorce, I was let go from my job of eight years. We created a vision of my ideal position, and a few months later, that job literally found me! AND in that same week, I met my current partner. Today, my life, job and relationship have never been better.”
Leslie Rezgui
“Laura Miolla is more than a Transformational Life Coach. She has a magic wand that she waves with love and strategy to give her clients the best results. She creates truthful connections with empathy and clear pathways to success. I really appreciated her support for me in creating boundaries for myself, whilst navigating my divorce and securing my business through the process. I knew exactly where I was heading and took ownership of my personal power, unapologetically. I know when I have met a true professional gem because I now consider her to be a true friend and a stellar coach in any situation where women need understanding and actionable goals. She has a wide variety of tools and techniques which are well placed intuitively suited to a given situation based on your vast experience and intuitive insights. I have no hesitation in hiring Laura and recommending her highly, a great coach to have on your team and in your corner. I trust her without question.”
Marie Piazza
“Working with Laura forced me to confront reality, center myself, and plan for the path ahead. She constantly reminded me that my fears about things that haven’t happened yet, were just that, fears. I thoroughly enjoyed the personal growth exercises and highly recommend her.”
Jon
“Laura encouraged me to do what serves me and helped me take the next scary and intimidating steps toward divorce. This will ultimately lead to a fuller, healthier life that I️ deserve.”
Julie
“I had no idea where to start when I was fairly certain I wanted to file for divorce. A google search led me to divorce coaches and ultimately, I hired Laura to be my coach. Hiring Laura was the absolute best decision I could have made! I started this process scared, broken and unsure what to do first. That was 4 months ago. Through Laura’s coaching sessions, I have learned to define what I WANT for my future and I am now very confident in stating exactly what I want in the divorce agreement and have a clear vision for what I want the next chapter of my life to look like. If you are looking for someone that is compassionate, a good listener, who sets expectations and follows them for each coaching session, always meets with you as scheduled and is willing to work as hard as you are on your future then definitely hire Laura for your coach! Trust me – you will not regret it.”
Julie
“Laura was the person who knew the most about my divorce. She always tried to calm me down, and to help me see the bigger picture. I loved having someone to talk to who was on my side but didn’t have a stake in the divorce in any way. She was able to support me through my very worst, worst days, when I was feeling very, very low. She was able to encourage me and push me when I needed it. Her perspective really helped me through possibly the hardest experience of my life to date. I am incredibly grateful.”
Ceara
“My life and mind were in total chaos when I happened across Laura’s website. I had no idea she was exactly what I needed! She worked me through some of my most difficult times ever and provided me with the tools and wisdom I needed to move forward. With her help I’ve discovered an incredible sense of personal peace and am feeling more confident in my future than I have in a very long time.”
Lisa
“Laura has been a wonderful guide and coach helping me navigate through my very stressful, roller coaster of a divorce. She gets right to the point in focusing her questions on what you really need to look at. I highly recommend Laura’s guidance in any horrible divorce situation you may have to go through.”
Marilyn
“I came to Laura not knowing what to expect. I was miserable in my marriage and I knew I needed something (someone?) to help me finally make a decision about what to do. I came across a blog post of hers and called her the same day. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to get through this process on my own. When you are thinking about divorce, it’s like deciding to leave everything you know and enter into some kind of strange, dark abyss where everything is mysterious—possibly horrifying and possibly glorious, and possibly both. What I came to learn, through Laura, is that my marriage/divorce is only a small part of the puzzle of why I feel stuck, undervalued and prone to listening to critical voices that have been following me for years. Oh my god, I did not know I was going to go there with Laura! I thought we were going to talk about divorce! So far in my time with her, we haven’t much talked about divorce or how much of a jerk my husband is, or my lawyer will be, etcetera. Without wasting even a single moment, Laura systematically helps me uncover (and debunk) all the reasons I’m settling for less than I need, want and deserve. After only a few sessions, Laura has helped me see that I’m like the person clinging to the wave-beaten detritus for fear of drowning when the island paradise is only a few yards away. I just have to let go and swim! One more thing… Laura specializes in divorce, but I think anyone dealing with life’s challenges (be it divorce or something else) can benefit from working with her. She is a truly talented and practical coach. She has high expectations of you, and I think you will have higher expectations of yourself after even a few sessions.”
Teresa
“I started talking with Laura in the exact moment I needed her. I was in the middle of the process of my separation, and I didn’t know how to handle my feelings and emotions. Laura gave me the tools to search and dig into myself to find the strength and the light I needed in that moment to see things about myself I haven’t seen and to start living with the best that’s inside me. Now I can see that I am living closer to my real me, and leaving behind all that was hurting me and making me feel bad. I thank Laura for being part of this process, and walking by my side in this difficult moment.”
Barbara
“I found my time spent with Laura some of the most useful and productive things I have done for myself. It was a gift to myself to invest in coaching with Laura. My issues and problems didn’t change but yet I found new answers and new approaches to my lifelong struggles. I am certainly not done but enjoy living a more authentic life than I ever have.”
Joann
“Working with Laura, I saved $18,000 on legal fees and didn’t even know that was possible before.”
