Lara Mazzone, M.ED
Wellbeing Coach
I bring a unique perspective to wellbeing coaching shaped by more than 15 years in education, including extensive work in special education in the US and abroad.
My background in special education helped me develop key wellness attributes that are central to my coaching approach. I learned how to break goals into manageable steps, adapt strategies to individual needs, and recognize that regulation, resilience, and confidence are built over time. These same principles apply to adult wellbeing, whether someone is navigating stress, burnout, or simply trying to build healthier habits.
Today, I use those skills to support individuals and organizations through practical, human-centered wellbeing coaching. My focus is on creating sustainable habits, fostering emotional resilience, and helping people reconnect with what matters most to them, without adding more overwhelm to already busy lives.
