Human Capacity Architect | Creator of Reclaiming Capacity
Reclaiming Capacity
Reclaiming Capacity is the body of work I created to help humans, leaders, and organizations evolve the internal conditions under which they live and work. Allowing their energy, leadership, relationships, and impact to become sustainable, aligned, and fully their own.
Not by doing more, pushing harder or managing stress more effieciently.
By becoming resourced in an entirely different way.
If you’re ready to live and lead on your own terms, you’re in the right place.
The Work
I’ve never fit neatly into a single discipline, and that has become one of my greatest strengths.
For decades I have worked at the intersection of human development, leadership, science, health, and systems — distilling what actually creates lasting transformation for whole people inside real lives, and real organizations.
The result is The Map—a clear, practical methodology for reclaiming capacity and alignment:
Rewire the nervous system for resilience and adaptability
Shift the internal patterns that generate chronic pressure
Build the foundations for sustainable high performance
Translate personal alignment into collective impact
Because when a human becomes resourced, everything they touch changes.
A Woman, On a Mission, with a Map
I’ve always loved a good map, and have a genius for simplifying complexity.
My own lived experience with stress challenges, and the limits of surface-level solutions, set me on a path to answer one question:
What creates sustainable human capacity?
Reclaiming Capacity is the answer that emerged.
Today I bring strategic clarity, emotional intelligence, and systems thinking to every engagement, helping people become both inspired and organized around their evolution.
The Invitation
You don’t need to keep operating from depletion, pressure, or misalignment.
There is a way to:
Expand your capacity
Align your inner and outer work
Lead and live with clarity, power, and ease
For yourself.
For your family.
For your team.
For the world you are helping to shape.
If that’s the path you’re ready for, I invite you or your team to learn more about this unique, ground-breaking solution.
The Professional Lowdown
I’m a science nerd.
My master’s degree in Integrative Nutrition sits alongside deep study in functional medicine, psychology, neuroscience, biochemistry, endocrinology, mindfulness, stress physiology, bioenergetics, herbalism, and wisdom traditions.
(If you like letters: Laurie Warren, MS, ACC, ELI-MP.)
Before creating Reclaiming Capacity, I spent twelve years in leadership roles in the tech world — an experience that continues to shape my work with organizations in very real and practical ways.
Today I bring that blend of science, strategy, and whole-human understanding to my work as a keynote speaker, leadership advisor, coach, writer, and award-winning corporate consultant.
My first book, Wild World, Joyful Heart, continues to find its way into the hands of readers who use it to reclaim their health, capacity, and alignment in the midst of a very wild world — which tells me the work is still doing its job.
The Personal Stuff
I’m made of Maine winters, rocky beaches, quiet forests—scrappily creating what I needed to thrive, since 1966. Equal parts tenacious, cheerful and curious, my favorite forms of self-expression are writing, art, and dancing to a hip-hop beat.
I believe that our commitment to ourselves is our most powerful tool for capacity, alignment and well-being. That we’re hard-wired to evolve, and that we respond better to support than to force. I believe that the mind can be—in any moment—either a bridge or a barrier. I also believe that leading with heart solves more problems than we’ve been taught to believe, even when it isn’t pretty.
My three great loves are my family, my work and the great outdoors. I’ve lived for the past three decades in the beautiful and historic Greater Boston area, while enjoying my four children, my two grandchildren, and every moment of researching, hiking, kayaking and gardening that I can carve out.
This is the same person you’ll meet in a boardroom, on a stage, or in a 1:1 conversation.
Interconnection and Joy
No matter who we are, there is always someone in the human family who has less than us, is struggling more than us, and is trying just as hard as we are. My company supports Jhamtse Gatsal Children’s Community and Charity: Water.
Giving, it turns out, connects us to joy far more than receiving does.
Capacity & Alignment
creates strong leaders,
and grows us into our full human expression.
