About Laura
Laura Venecia Rodriguez, MBA (George Washington University), MA (American University), BA (Wellesley College), worked as a writer/researcher/speaker for the Federal government and private sector for over four decades. She recently returned to Washington, D.C., after enjoying four years of the low-country life in Charleston, SC.
Since launching Intuitive Advising and Writing, LLC, in 2021, Laura has focused on researching and sharing information on ancient and contemporary practices, techniques, and wisdom to enhance the body, mind, and spirit.
An experienced content creator and skilled presenter, Laura specializes in helping beginners over age 50 understand and adopt new lifestyle habits and practices she has used herself before and after age 50 to continue feeling energetic and youthful.
In 2023, Laura published Gentle Yoga After 50: Get Fit, Flexible, and Feel Fantastic, an inspirational and easy-to-follow guide for yoga beginners. Gentle yoga is just one of the various pillars of a healthful lifestyle that Laura promotes. She also encourages regular walking, daily bouncing/jumping on a mini trampoline (what she considers a “supreme body workout), mat Pilates, strength training, meditation, and advocates following a nutrient-dense eating plan (heavy on plants, legumes, nuts, some fish, and fruit).
Trained in hypnotherapy, meditation, life purpose intuitive coaching and practices, and tarot card interpretation, Laura combines these tools to help women over 50 regain their mojo and “shine” with renewed purpose and passion after reaching an impasse or experiencing a major upheaval in their lives—empty nest, death of a loved one, divorce/breakup, job change or layoff, retirement, or health crisis.
Laura offers easy-to-follow, heart-based guidance to help you enjoy a "freaking fantastic life" for the rest of your life. She wants you to wake up every morning with youthful energy, vitality, and zeal to pursue your personal and unique zone of genius and interests.
