The Process
About Me
I grew up in small town Minnesota and graduated in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in Nursing. Throughout my career, I have realized some of the gaps in healthcare and saw that we need to shift to a PREVENTATIVE model, where we are working towards healthy lifestyle habits; instead of seeking care after the disease processes have already begun. So, in 2021 I found the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and became certified as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. The program has taught me how integral all aspects of our life are to our well-being!!! Since then, I have completed education through NASM to become a Certified Personal Trainer, and through PPSC to become a Pain-Free Mobility Specialist.
As a personal motivator - in my late 20s, I started having back pain and saw doctors and therapists who could not determine the source of my pain. After years of holistic and natural care, I saw an orthopedic PA who quickly put the dots together. Labs and MRIs confirmed his suspicions and in 2019, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition "ankylosing spondylitis" (an inflammatory condition that affects the spine).
I desperately wanted to feel better, but knew immediately that I did not want to rely on medications to put a band-aid on the problem. Because of my nursing background, I also knew about the serious complications and side effects of the prescriptions I was given. I wanted to figure out what was CAUSING my disease, so I set about on a journey of research to get REAL answers. As a mother of 2 toddlers, I did not want pain to interfere with my daily life. Through my journey and collaborations, I found functional medicine. I discovered I had food sensitivities and gut imbalances that could be "triggering" my autoimmune condition, as well as many other self-care practices that have reduced pain and inflammation.
I LOVE working with women to help them to achieve the results that lifestyle changes can bring!!! This was my favorite part about nursing was educating patients and empowering them to HEAL themselves from the inside out!!! I am a living testament as to how strengthening your body and fueling yourself with whole, anti-inflammatory foods, can REDUCE PAIN and IMPROVE MOBILITY.
My goal is to educate and motivate women how to move and fuel their bodies, balance their home/work life, balance their hormones, lose weight, increase their energy and confidence, sleep well, and feel great! I am passionate about helping women to discover their potential and achieve the healthiest version of themselves, and I look forward to speaking with you!
With love and gratitude,
Laura

3) Health Coaching
I really enjoyed all of it, but I found the meal planning and food advice to be very helpful. I also liked that Laura demonstrated exercises for me! Her enthusiasm and passion shine through as she works with you to achieve your goals. I would definitely refer people to Laura for her services! I appreciated that she really listened to me and which goals were my priorities, and did not pressure me into things I didn't feel were priorities.
Laura is very relatable and compassionate!

Laura Fuxa is truly exceptional! She perfectly blends extensive expertise with personal experiences and compassion. Laura listens attentively to my health concerns and offers personalized recommendations. Her low-intensity strength-training class is a favorite and very effective! I highly recommend Laura and A Path to Renewal in Spearfish.
Deanna G., age 58
I have been attending strength-training classes with Laura for the past month, and the experience has been very positive. As someone who typically shies away from group workout settings, I found her small class sizes of 2-3 people to be the perfect balance. Each session feels individualized, allowing me to focus on my unique fitness goals.
Laura has a keen eye for form and technique, ensuring that every exercise is performed safely and effectively. Her attentive and supportive approach has not only improved my physical strength but also boosted my confidence in working out. I genuinely look forward to each session, knowing that I am in a motivating and positive environment.

“My before pictures are taken 9 months post foot surgery. I was in a pretty severe depression with stress and anxieties. I didn’t 100% know what Laura Fuxa did when I first came to her. Little did I know I hired a life coach. She helped me find balance in the parts of my life that were contributing to my depression. Things like time management, my finances and meal prep ideas. I also got great recovery stretches and movements to help after lifting at the gym. Life gets hard, but you don’t have to stay there. Laura and “A Path to Renewal” is a great first step to a lifestyle change.”
