""Coaching with Laura has significantly improved many areas of my life—areas I’ve struggled to change for years with little success. She has helped me develop concrete habits, align my actions with my values, and use tools in difficult moments. But even more importantly, she has guided me through the more invisible, often undervalued aspects of self-growth, like self-compassion, self-love and acceptance… working with Laura has been transformative.
-Kelsey
Do you ever ask yourself,
“Why can’t I just stop?"I can show you why it's been so hard to quit in the past and the missing piece you need to break free!
Many clients come to me frustrated with the pain, confusion, cost, and embarrassment from their BFRB.
They desperately want to stop, but they don't know how.
When we meet, I often hear that they feel hopeless because they've already tried so much and nothing has worked.
Then, through our work together, they learn what's been holding them back, they build a toolbox of strategies that actually work, and I get the honor of watching them let go of their BFRB with more ease than they thought was possible.
If this sounds like the transformation you've been craving, it's no accident that you landed here.
Let me guess…You tried to white-knuckle it, but who has the energy and willpower to keep that sh!t up?
You Googled "how to quit..." but that didn't pan out either.
You said the positive affirmations, but you didn't believe them.
Your therapist offered vague cookie-cutter suggestions that didn't help.
You bought all the fidgets, but you’re not using them.
Friends don’t understand.
Family hasn't figured it out for themselves yet.
And then there's always that one person with the holy grail of solutions:
"have you considered... just stopping?"
(eye roll)
But you know
it’s not that easy.Something keeps getting in the way, you're just not sure what it is.
You desperately want more time and energy for the things that are actually important to you.
You're tired of how you feel-
embarrassing thin or bald spots, aching muscles, painfully chewed-up nails, sores in your mouth, or scabs that just won't heal.
Or you're frustrated with the cost - you bought all the expensive hair serums or skin treatments, but you know that doesn’t matter if you’re still picking or pulling.
Or maybe you're on thin ice at work because you’re always late after getting stuck in front of the mirror for hours.
And what about the impact on your relationships?
You're always irritable, so you snap at others,
then feel guilty later on.
You worry about the impact this will have on your kids.
You're constantly afraid of what your coworkers think.
And now you feel isolated because the embarrassment of meeting new people feels unbearable.
Whatever the cost of your BFRB,
there is a way to get it back.Now imagine something better...the freedom to choose yourself over your BFRB!
Picture yourself starting your day already winning - you left home on time and arrived at work 10 minutes early, because it didn’t have to spend a ton of time covering up your bald spots.
At work, your hands moving freely - no more hiding your fingers or feeling self-conscious about bleeding cuticles or jagged nails. Instead, you feel a wave of pride seeing your healthy, well-maintained nails.
Back home at home, you can finally relax - truly relax. No urge to pull your hair or unconscious skin picking while watching TV.
Just peaceful, present moments.
As you get ready for bed that night, you catch your clear skin in the reflection of the mirror and smile. You bask in the feeling of having control of your behaviors instead of them controlling you.
This is what freedom feels like.
This isn't just a daydream.This is the reality my clients are living right now.
You've tried the "just stop" approach. You've read countless articles about behavior change. Maybe you've even worked with a therapist - but still struggle with how to actually break free.
You don’t need another fidget or quick fix solution. You need a structured path forward that combines regulation strategies with personalized support to help you break free from these patterns for good.
That's exactly what we'll create together in my 12-week Hack Your BFRB Habit program.
Let's make those "imagine if" scenarios into your daily reality.
No shame. No judgment. Just practical strategies and genuine support to help you take back control of your life.

"Recently, I have been able to manage my urges and utilize healthy coping skills. Not only have I seen a difference with my hair pulling, but I pick at my cuticles and that has stopped almost completely, I recently finished Laura Hope's Hack Your Habit program and I found it to be so helpful. I've changed my mindset and attitude toward my pulling, which helps me manage my urges and feel more in control."

My Signature ProcessEach of the 8 coaching sessions in Hack Your BFRB Habit will be dedicated to a carefully selected topic that my past clients have found particularly helpful.
Module 1: Understand the Behavior

Identify thoughts and beliefs that are getting in the way of change and how you can think differently to better support your goals.
Module 3: Meet Your Needs
Getting your physical and emotional needs met allows you to show up each day ready for positive change.

Module 7: Build Your Habit Handbook
This is it - the part you've been waiting for!
We'll take all the work from the prior modules to build a comprehensive, totally unique step-by-step guide- so that you can ditch your old, unwanted habits once and keep the momentum going after the program.
Module 8: Learn, and Learn Again
Learn to reflect and refine your process so you can keep up with your changing needs over time.
The truth is…You're not crazy, damaged, or broken.
If fact, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you.
Here's what's really going on:
Your BFRB is just your brain's way of dealing with stress and overwhelm. (And let's be honest, who isn't overwhelmed these days?)
I know you might be feeling hopeless, thinking you're somehow "stuck" with your BFRB because nothing has worked so far. But here's the thing - you haven't failed at changing; you just haven't been given the right tools, or all of the tools you need.
Think about it this way:
If you wanted to bake a cake, but you only had a few of the ingredients, you wouldn't blame yourself for not being able to finish the task, or think you were incapable of baking a cake, right?
That's where I come in.
Together, we'll:
• Get clear on what's really driving your BFRB
• Build a toolkit of strategies that actually work
• Learn to manage stress without falling back on old patterns
• Create new ways of coping that don't leave you feeling worse afterward
Over our 12 weeks together, you'll develop your own personal Habit Handbook - a step-by-step guide that's actually designed for your life, your triggers, and your goals. No generic advice, no oversimplified solutions. Just real strategies that work in the real world.
