I'm More than Just a Lifestyle Manager
About Laurie
I like to think of myself as a "Professional Daughter"—the person you'd want by your side (or your loved one's side) during life's most important moments.
Whether I'm coordinating a home remodel, preparing a vacation property for your arrival, accompanying you to the opera, or sitting vigil at the bedside of someone transitioning—I bring the attentiveness, care, and devotion you'd expect from family, combined with the expertise and discretion of a seasoned professional.
My path to this work hasn't been a straight line, and I wouldn't have it any other way. As a former dancer at Juilliard, I've always been drawn to beauty, precision, and the profound emotional resonance of the arts. That foundation—grounded in discipline, creativity, and presence—has shaped how I approach everything I do. Life has taken me from the stage to luxury hospitality at The Mandarin Oriental, from managing estates for high-profile clients across multiple states to providing end-of-life care that honors the sacred nature of life's final chapter.
I'm passionate about all of the arts—dance, music, theatre, culinary traditions, visual expression—and all things Italian: the people, the cities, the language, the soul of la dolce vita. I'm equally at home hiking a mountain trail, practicing yoga, exploring museums, or planning an intimate dinner party with exquisite attention to detail. These experiences inform my work: I understand what it means to truly live, and I'm committed to helping my clients do just that—whether they're 95 and vibrant or navigating their final days with grace.
Over the past 18+ years, I've supported ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families through life's most complex transitions. I've managed properties as large as 31,000 square feet, coordinated international travel on private aircraft, overseen multimillion-dollar renovations, planned high-profile celebrity events, and walked alongside families through the tender, often overwhelming process of saying goodbye to someone they love. I've been trained as a death doula through INELDA and Final Passages, and as a conscious dying coach through the Conscious Dying Collective—but my greatest teachers have been the people I've served.
What drives me is simple: integrity, kindness, empathy, and trust. I believe that luxury isn't just about thread count or private jets—it's about being seen, heard, and cared for in a way that allows you to live fully and authentically. It's about knowing that someone has your back, anticipates your needs, and handles life's details with both competence and heart.
Based in the Bay Area and available nationwide, I bring calm to chaos, order to complexity, and compassion to every interaction. Life is precious. Let me help you honor it—in all its seasons.

Why Work with Me
Families value my support as a private service professional for the continuity, discretion, and composed leadership I provide during stable periods and times of transitions. I am often regarded as a trusted, family-like presence — someone who manages the intricacies of daily life while sensitively preparing for and supporting future needs.
As a companion and care manager, I promote independence, dignity, and quality of life, balancing hands-on involvement with respect for personal autonomy. My work is particularly effective where sound judgment and emotional intelligence are crucial, such as periods of loss, downsizing, estate settlements, or evolving care needs.
