Laurie Gerber

Laurie Gerber is President of Handel Group™ Life Coaching (HGLC) and an expert life coach herself. Passionate about personal development, Laurie has been coaching individuals and groups for 15 years. Before happily coming on board with The Handel Group™, Laurie owned and operated Partners with Parents, a tutoring and educational consulting business in New York City.

Laurie oversees 10 amazing senior coaches in their work with clients on improving all areas of life. She considers herself “an angel recruiter” because she is busy looking for other people who share her mission to bring more joy and peace to the world. “When all people are living true to their ideals, then I can rest,” she says. She doesn’t expect to rest anytime soon.

For the majority of her adult life, Laurie has been teaching and coaching adults and children in a variety of settings including lectures, discussion groups, seminars, classroom teaching, tutoring and one-on-one coaching. Laurie holds a degree in Education and Political Science from Swarthmore College, along with her teaching certification. She leads large groups at Kripalu Center, Esalen Institute, Equinox Fitness, Soho House, the JCC of Manhattan, Natural Health Magazine’s Women’s Wellness Weekends and Menla Mountain Retreat. She regularly blogs for The Daily Love, Huffington Post, Crazy Sexy Wellness, Dr. Frank Lipman, HGLC’s own weekly newsletter and more. She has completed filming a TV show to be released in 2012; in the same year, she will launch “Wake Up Your Week,” a year-long subscription to weekly live teleseminars.

Laurie feels blessed to spend her days (and most nights) doing work that makes her proud and she is inspired by HGLC clients for having the guts to look at themselves honestly. She lives in Manhattan with her husband and two daughters.
