Laura is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who focuses on helping women with stress, hormone imbalances, and autoimmune disease.  After she began suffering from fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and chronic headaches and migraines, she reversed her autoimmune symptoms by changing her diet and lifestyle.  She then launched her nutrition services to ensure that other women can also successfully journey to better health.

 

In addition to her Nutritional Therapy certification, Laura has obtained numerous other certifications that allow her to assist with autoimmune diseases, hormonal balancing, nutritional supplements, and integrative medicine.  She has been featured on CBS, WUSA9, Great Day Washington, Paleo Magazine, the Washingtonian Magazine, Tysons Premier Magazine, and numerous podcasts.  Her practice focuses on helping women bring their bodies back into balance.  She does this by analyzing her clients’ issues through testing and journaling, and then creating bespoke recommendations to help them improve their diets and change their lifestyle.

 It was great being at OPT, and I would love to return. I have spoken about the event and may bring a friend next time.

HF

I really enjoy your lunches…you are always so warm & positive. I’m sending July’s lunch to a few of my friends so hopefully they can attend, too!

KM

I feel uplifted, with a renewed sense of optimism and energy every time I attend an OPT Luncheon.

Audience

Becoming a sponsor for Our Power Tribe has been a game changer for my business! I started attending the luncheon three years ago (including three times as a vendor), and the fabulous business relationships that I have built have resulted in client leads as well as a few new clients. I was skeptical that being a sponsor would make any more of an impact than attending or hosting a table. When I made the decision to sponsor the event, my goal was to make back the money I invested. I never anticipated how much more sponsorship would catapult my business! In the first five weeks of being a sponsor, the additional revenue that I earned directly from being an official sponsor for OPT paid for the yearly sponsorship, and in the second month I doubled the amount that I invested. The additional revenue I have gained from sponsoring OPT for three months has far surpassed what I earned from just attending for three years! With nine months to go, I can’t wait to see how sponsoring Our Power Tribe helps my business continue to explode!

Laura Morrow Wellness

"I have been attending [Our Power Tribe] since its inception 13 years ago. And Radiance Salon & Medi-Spa has been a sponsor for most of those years. While I have frequented numerous networking events over the years, Sterling Women continues to be the most meaningful to me.

 

I have developed many great friendships by meeting women at [Our Power Tribe], and then getting to know them on a one-to-one basis over coffee, lunch, or a drink. It is always gratifying to look throughout the room at a Sterling Women luncheon and see so many friends.

 

While [Our Power Tribe] has benefited me personally, it has also benefited my businesses. Both the founder, Kristina Bouweiri, and the current host, Cindy Battino, continually promote Radiance Salon & Medi-Spa and provide opportunities for me to bring the Radiance experience to others."    

Carolyn Berrigan, Managing Director
Radiance Salon & Medi-Spa

“I have been a Sponsor with Sterling Women - now Our Power Tribe for over four years. Every time I attend, I leave with another client. Not only has this event more than paid me back for my Sponsorships, but it also consistently builds my business. Cindy's energy is infectious, the speakers are inspiring, and I always leave feeling motivated and empowered!”

Jamie Grasso, JG Jewelry & Estates

"I consider [Our Power Tribe] the leading business networking organization in Northern Virginia for woman-led businesses.  As the owner of the highest rated cleaning service in the area, Sterling Women provides a monthly forum to elevate my company’s brand and affords me the opportunity to meet and converse with like-minded business leaders.  Each meeting is an opportunity to learn valuable insights from others that I can apply to my business." 

Natasha Magrath, President/ Owner You’ve Got Maids of Northern Virginia    

I decided to participate and be a part of this amazing business networking group because it is such an uplifting and wonderful group of people and while I found that to be confirmed, I also found so much more.  Through the challenging times of COVID, this was a group of people supporting one another and building each other up through the trials and tribulations that were presented around each corner.  If you are looking for a group of strong independent people that will lift you up with them, this is a great group to be a part of.  Thank you Cindy and [Our Power Tribe]!
