About

Laura Moog, BS, LMT, CHC, CLC chose the health care field in 2004 when she decided her accounting desk job was not fulfilling her need to help people. She completed her massage training at COMTA accredited East West College of the Healing Arts, in Portland, Oregon. After graduating, she moved to Coeur d’Alene, ID to begin her new career opening Abandon Your Aches Massage in January 2005. After working with chiropractors her first 6 years, she struck out on her own. During this time, she developed her skills into what she calls “Laura-Style,” a mixture of Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, and added CranioSacral Therapy along the way. She advanced her CranioSacral training to include helping with birth, pregnancy and delivery, as well as different brain-specific classes to aid in a number of maladies of the brain. 

Massage and CranioSacral Therapy are amazing modalities, but Laura sought an additional way of helping, as many clients came in with issues she was not qualified to support. She knew there were areas that would not release on the massage table until the client’s body was ready to release the unspoken memories and tensions. She has experienced many difficulties during her lifetime and had also fought keeping her weight in check after trying so many kinds of diets. Along the way, she has sought help in many different forms to work through all of those issues, which drove her to want to find another way to help.  She found an amazing program that combined training in both life and health coaching, and thus, another avenue of helping people came to fruition. Coaching is not counseling. As a Life and Health Coach, Laura has enjoyed holding dreams and goals for her coaching clients, while giving them small steps that create big change, overcoming obstacles we all can hold in our minds, to help them achieve those goals. Laura feels truly blessed having multiple tools in her tool belt to be able to help her clients achieve balance, body, mind, and spirit.
