“Something I find to be a universal truth is that people want to be better than they already are. Everyone wants to improve and achieve. Sometimes, we just need the right tools and support to help us get there.”
— Laurie

Laurie Tucker is an expert health and wellness coach and the founder of WellStyles Consulting, a company dedicated to improving your well-being. 

Laurie has been working in the field of health promotion working privately with clients, conducting workshops and webinars with groups as well as managing a large federal organization’s health promotion program. She has spoken on topics such as nutrition, stress, wellness and women’s health to organizations such as the ALEX AND ANI World Headquarters, National Museum of Health and Medicine, the United States Postal Service, the Montgomery County School Department, BECO Management, Inc., the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO). In addition, as a former member of the adjunct faculty at American University from 2002-2005, Laurie taught undergraduate classes focusing on women’s health.

Her dedication to making “being healthy” seem like fun instead of like a chore is evident in all of her work. From large-scale events such as health fairs, 5Ks and pedometer challenges to her work with individuals, overall wellness and balance in life is always the goal. This same philosophy also applied when Laurie created and implemented a successful wellness coaching program for a prestigious university.

Laurie holds her masters degree in Health Promotion Management and her bachelors degree in International Studies, both from American University. Her research on the Stages of Change and calcium consumption among college-aged females and males was published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, American Journal of Health Promotion, Journal of American College Health and the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.

In addition to this, Laurie is a Certified Intrinsic Coach®, Certified Health Education Specialist, ACE Certified Personal Trainer and Functional Training Specialist, and teaches yoga and pilates. Before switching careers to pursue her passion, she worked in politics, international development, public radio and at a hotel in the Grand Teton National Park. Not surprisingly, all of these different experiences find their way into her presentations on life, health and finding balance. Laurie has dedicated herself to making a healthy lifestyle not only achievable but also fun.
