Testimonials
Laura Bender is considered a “Master Coach” and “ Fitness Guru.” She has been featured in numerous newspapers, periodicals and media, such as Brainz Magazine, the Missoulian, PFP magazine, world-renowned teacher Davidji’ s book De-Stressifying, CBS Good Morning Montana and Nathalie Mullinix’s national podcast, “Reality World Universal”.
My name is Alet Taylor. I’m an actress/Chicago Med living in Missoula, Montana. I first met Laura Bender during the Actors/Writers strike.
I was feeling extremely anxious as I’m sure a lot of other artists were, but I didn’t know how to navigate through that…
I met Laura when she scheduled an appointment to bring her coaching services to my office. During that initial meeting there was a connection that couldn’t be ignored and a force within her I was drawn to. I was at a fork in the road in my career and family life.
I was resentful of my husband for not “knowing what I was thinking” and with Laura’s help and Relationship Coaching, learned to give him back the “Power to Choose”. As a result, we have grown closer, more intimate, and more able to relax and enjoy each other again. With my career, I had a choice to stay on the easy frontage road and cruise along or take the ramp onto the freeway of a career path that I was on the verge of creating. With her weekly coaching, strategic insight, and unwavering support she has empowered me to not just chase my career and personal goals but to embody and live the personal life and career I aspired to have. Laura’s wisdom transcends conventional coaching, steering me towards a path where success becomes a way of being, rather than a distant target. I am very grateful for the transformative impact on my life and career that her energy has manifested, and teaching me to do the same.”

As a realtor and single Mom, I have to set clear boundaries, otherwise, my time and business can be wasted.
I had a potential client ask me on a date after we discussed selling his home. I immediately thought ok, it's time for boundaries! I asked myself, “What clear boundary do I need to set and how do I feel about this relationship?” I knew I wanted it to be professional so that's the boundary and expectation I set, by simply saying "Oh thank you but, I really would like to keep our relationship professional and I would go out for a meal with you to discuss your wants and needs in selling your home and moving. It was clear and it didn't cause any upset in the relationship. He appreciated my boundary and we are now moving towards getting his home listed without any awkwardness! Before doing this work with Laura it would have been easy for me to follow his lead not wanting to upset him or possibly lose him as a client, creating all sorts of issues for me! It's amazing how small little changes like identifying and implementing boundaries can change your life! This work with Laura has been so amazing for me and I can't wait to see where we go next!
Thank you, Laura!

Davidji, World Renowned Author, Master Meditation Teacher, and Winner of the Nautilus Book Award
Laura has a gift for inspiring one to seek the answers to questions they do not even know to ask yet.
For over a decade now I have been working towards tiny living with my husband. We stalled our dream because life got in the way, which left us avoiding difficult intimate conversations and left me feeling sad and lonely.
I remember Laura asking me one simple question, “What are you waiting for?” I realized like a bolt of lightning that I had been waiting for perfect alignment of intimacy and I was waiting for my partner to stop stalling. Well, that is just silly, there is no perfection,
I took a risk and trusted Laura’s relationship expertise because I was DONE with settling with STUCK. So I am happy to say that this single investment saved my marriage and saved our dream!
The dream that I have had for years with a partner stepping up as a partner. Now every day we both are having fun together designing and building our tiny house! My dreams are coming true! A reality instead of just a dream!

I took several of Laura Bender’s coaching programs and she’s incredible!
I like that you can easily follow the modules and do the exercises on your own and then you have Zoom calls with Laura in a group or one-on-one, depending on the course or your preference and you have her undivided attention applying the lessons to your individual concerns or issues.
Her coaching has improved my relationship with my hubby, family, friends, and most importantly with myself. Laura’s a great coach. Invest in yourself and reach out to Laura.

”When Sandy and I met her job was overwhelming. Fear of change left her frozen and without confidence.
She was miserable and all the things she tried to “fix it” failed. She obsessed about the future and worried about the past which left her too exhausted to devote any energy to her grandchildren or friends. She made a decision that she was ready for change. In just 12 weeks of coaching with me, she identified the subconscious beliefs that kept her stuck. She learned how to use fear as a stepping stone and upped her deserve. Sandy is now working smarter, exercising regularly, and showing up for herself, living the life of her dreams!

I loved working with Laura! Laura is a fiercely independent woman who still recognizes and values the need for mutual softness in relationships.
She speaks from experience and has a wisdom in the words she shares as a coach. She is absolutely a masteress of her craft and gives women permission to surrender to the love they want, deserve, and are worthy of having.

”I have been a licensed Mental Health Counselor for twenty years. I found myself going through a very difficult time in my life. It was a time of tough decision-making for me and I felt I needed some help. I found Laura to be an excellent life/spiritual/dream-building coach. She expanded my universe with teachings of forgiveness, compassion, encouragement, and gentle confrontation. My 40-year transcendental meditation practice became deeper and more energized, and I transitioned into the world of dreams and life-changing possibilities. Thanks, Laura, for showing me how to live My dream.”
Laurie Bogart, LCPC, Art Works Counseling Services LLC
When Laurie found me she was stuck working 10-hour days, held back by fear and a toxic marriage.
With just 12 weeks of coaching, Laurie found her power. She was able to define clearly what she wanted in both her marriage and her career. Now she works 6 hours per day doing what she loves and is on her way to a six-figure income. She learned how to set clear emotional boundaries with her partner and is living the life of her dreams.
“Laura’s coaching has improved my relationship with my hubby, family, friends, and most importantly with myself. Laura’s a great coach. Invest in yourself and reach out to Laura.”

”I’ve worked with Laura for close to a year and highly recommend her as a coach. She is extremely accomplished with not a small dash of magic.
The things we have done together have transformed my life. I know exactly what I want and know when not to compromise. I eat and exercise to stay healthy. I shift when life becomes frustrating because I want to appreciate every day. I knew a lot about the importance of self-care and spirituality practices prior to engaging Laura but, through our sessions, she provided a greater understanding and accountability that now is etched in my mind and behavior.”
