About Us

In January 2008, we had an idea to create a program to support  Moms on their wellness journey.  Since that time we’ve written a book and workbook, Mindful Makeover for Moms, and held our first 10 week class for Moms.

Our mission is to support  Moms on their wellness journey by empowering them to create a life focused on health and wellness for themselves and their families.  Our hope is to create a strong community of Moms that influences positive change in our homes, communities, and world.

 

Laura Baylor

     I have a passion for wellness and enjoy teaching and encouraging others to reach their wellness goals.  I have a Masters in Exercise Physiology and a Bachelor’s in Exercise and Sport Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  I enjoy a variety of fitness activities including running, walking, weight training, swimming, biking, yoga, and hiking.

After the birth of my daughter I realized the challenges that Moms face when incorporating wellness into their day.  I wanted to help Moms find strategies to be more well in their lives and promote wellness for their families.  Thus, Mindful Makeover Corporation was born. In addition to the body component of proper exercise and nutrition I believe that the essential component is the mind.  You need to develop the proper mindset to reach your wellness goals.  Our program promotes the use of goal setting, affirmations, a positive mindset, and mindful moments (meditation) to reach wellness goals.

I live in Mills River, NC with my husband and daughter.    I am blessed with a wonderful family and friends. I love talking about wellness and sharing my passion with others.
