Hi, I'm Laura!

Growing up, I tried almost every sport I could get my hands on — from toddler and competitive gymnastics to tennis, running, swimming and full-body workouts. My passion for movement eventually led me to pursue a Master's degree in Physical Education and Movement Sciences.

I also spent time as a gymnastics coach, and that's where I discovered something else I loved just as much as movement itself: helping others grow, improve and discover what they are capable of.

And I was always trying to bring others along with me. From lunchtime walks and step challenges with colleagues to active plans with friends, I loved finding small ways to make movement part of everyday life.

Then life changed. I became a mom — twice — and experienced firsthand what it means to find your way back to your body, rebuild strength and make time for movement with two little kids. Although, let's be honest, running after two children sometimes feels like an Olympic sport in itself. 😉

In 2026, my family and I moved from Belgium to Cleveland, Ohio. Suddenly, I found myself at the start of a completely new chapter — and finally decided to give my passion for movement the space it had always deserved.

That's how The Better Percent was born.

Because we don't necessarily need more information about how to exercise. We have AI, apps, training plans and endless inspiration at our fingertips. But in the end, you still have to do the work. And that's where I hope to help.

My goal isn't to make movement take over your life. It's to help you make it part of it, in a way that works for you.

Movement over perfection. One Better Percent at a time.
