Laurie was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. While traveling with one of her jobs she decided there were too many nicer/warmer places to live and moved South in 1993. After sustaining a bad knee injury in 2002 Laurie decided to pursue a career in massage therapy to help educate others on the benefits and overall effects it has on one's well-being. While attending massage school an opportunity came up for her to purchase Serenity Day Spa. After 8 years in existence Serenity came to know a new owner.
