My Story

Marla is a Certified Health Coach, Clinical Exercise Physiologist and 200 hour RYT. She is committed to empower women who want to overcome obstacles and achieve their optimal health and wellness goals. "Laekna Health Coaching began as my journey through grief and depression. After the loss of my daughter and her family, I struggled with anxiety, fatigue and low self-esteem. Exercise played a key role in my healing, however, I learned without addressing my overall health, I was barely keeping my head above water. Discovering the field of health coaching helped me to understand the importance of community, relationships, eating good food for a healthy gut, movement for meditation and being centered. I am here to walk with you on your journey of healing, recovery or to achieve your health and wellness dreams."
