Compassion Circle Coaching
You're not broken, and willpower was never the problem.
I empower people to compassionately release shame to make room for
a fulfilled life of joy and peace.
I help you work with your brain instead of against it.
What if change could come from loving yourself and flow instead of forcing and pushing?
WYSIWYG
“Laura Deter is a compassionate and devoted companion and coach for those struggling with managing a healthy alcohol-free lifestyle. She supports and champions individuals in transforming their relationship with alcohol through self awareness, compassion, and most importantly, personal choice. Her coaching style is grounded in her own lived experience and ongoing personal integrity with alcohol.
After recognizing that alcohol no longer served the life she wished to lead, Laura chose to step away from drinking in 2020 and embarked on her alcohol-free journey. During that time, she developed healthier, more sustainable ways to meet stress, emotion, and life’s challenges.
Today, Laura relates to her past with alcohol with clarity and intention. She is able to live her life without the confines of using it as a coping mechanism and does not drink to manage stress, emotions, or discomfort. This is the true win, the knowledge and power of being able to live without the burden of alcohol.
Laura is committed to meeting clients without judgment, honoring each person’s autonomy, and modeling the freedom and self-trust that are possible when alcohol is no longer in the driver’s seat.”

Client Testimonials:
"Laura was a listening ear when I randomly clicked a link to, what turned out to be, a live interaction--one-on-one--with another human being. THAT human turned out to be Laura Deter; a woman in my age bracket (hey, age sometimes matters) and therefore with a unique combination of age-related and long-term-relational related issues in common with my own. She was a breath of fresh air when I needed it. Thank you, Laura!"
"Laura’s coaching helped me grow in self-love and become free of dependence on alcohol. I'm not an alcoholic - and I never was one. Her communication was open and she was always understanding of my emotions and feelings. I was able to release negative energy and build positive healthy habits. She's been down the path of depending on alcohol and that understanding made the process work.
I’m feeling and looking better and able to make sound judgments with a clear mind. I love being present for my children - they’re the most important thing in my life."
