Movement has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was always active, from athletics and gymnastics to dance and eventually strength training. But while movement came naturally to me, confidence didn't. I was shy, often doubted myself and admired women who seemed completely comfortable being themselves.

Then came Covid, and with the gyms closed, I discovered Pilates. I instantly fell in love with its approach. Pilates taught me that movement doesn't have to be extreme to be effective. It can make you feel strong, energised and deeply connected to your body.

A turning point came when I won a beauty pageant for a Belgian swimwear brand, which gave me a huge confidence boost. To prepare for the competition, I worked with a personal coach and followed a training and nutrition plan. I was amazed by how much our bodies can change with the right guidance, consistency and support. It inspired me to become a Personal Coach myself.

In 2023, I graduated as a certified Pilates teacher and began teaching both Mat and Reformer Pilates. The more women I worked with, the more I realised that so many of us are looking for the same thing: a balanced and sustainable approach to health and fitness.

That's why I created Go Fit with Laura, a place where women can build strength, confidence and healthy habits that fit into real life.
