About Laura Ollinger

Confidence. Connection. Direction. For Teens, Parents & the Schools That Support Them. I help teens build unshakable self-worth and help parents and schools create environments where young people thrive. Because when teens decide they’re enough — everything changes. Through my company, Positively Healthy Coaching, I offer coaching, keynotes, and workshops that empower families to move from stress and disconnection to confidence, connection, and direction. Teen Coaching: Today’s teens face immense pressure to perform, fit in, and stay “always on.” Many struggle with comparison, anxiety, and a quiet sense of not being enough. I help them strengthen self-worth, manage emotions, and develop the mindset and life skills to lead their lives with confidence and direction. Using neuroscience, positive psychology, and practical coaching tools, I teach teens how to shift thought patterns, improve relationships, and make choices that reflect who they truly are. Parent Coaching: Parents today are raising kids in a fast-changing digital world that challenges traditional parenting strategies. I coach parents to lead with calm, communicate with clarity, and connect with confidence. Together, we identify the beliefs, behaviors, and boundaries that foster trust, respect, and cooperation at home. Parents learn the same frameworks I teach teens—so growth happens for the whole family. Speaking & School Programs: My signature keynote, The Decider, inspires students to recognize their worth, choose authentic connections, and move forward with purpose. I also partner with schools and organizations to deliver workshops and professional development sessions that improve family engagement, student confidence, and staff well-being. With a Master’s in Health & Wellness Education, National Board Certification, and advanced training in neuroscience, positive psychology, and behavior change, I blend science and storytelling to help families and educators bring out the best in today’s youth. Whether in a coaching session, a classroom, or on stage, my mission remains the same: to empower teens, parents, and schools to build confidence, strengthen connection, and lead with direction.
