Award-Winning Author, Coach, Motivational Speaker
Life balance expert and founder of Learn2Balance, Lori Hanson knows personally what it takes to create
balance in life. Her battle with bulimia started at the young age of fourteen and continued into her forties.
Her low self-esteem propelled her into becoming a stressed out “Type A” corporate workaholic. As she struggled to find balance and happiness for almost 30 years, Lori an amateur body-builder established a deep understanding of diet, nutrition, exercise and alternative medicine and their effect on human behavior.

In 2008 Lori left the corporate world to share her story and pursue her passion of self-improvement and helping others create balance in their own lives.

Since then she hasn't slowed down.

• She published her award-winning book  It Started With Pop-Tarts® recounting her approach to
  recovery and finding a healthy lifestyle.
  
  
• Lori founded her company Learn2Balance, along with The COEDS Project, a non-profit organization 
  to raise awareness about stress and addiction on college campuses, and Shewolf Press.

• She continues to share tips for managing stress, improving nutrition and balancing lifestyle in her
  books Teen Secrets to Surviving &THRIVING and Stress Survival Kit for College Students, as well as through membership clubs and personal coaching.
  
  
• Lori has appeared on radio and television programs internationally and has been featured in
  Essence, New Living Magazine, AFLV Connections, monthly newspaper columns, Wellsphere.com, Limitless Living.org, and numerous other publications, bringing awareness to the epidemic of stress, eating disorders and the risks of overloaded living.
  
  
• She developed her coaching programs that embrace her powerful three-step process: Nutritional Therapy, Shifting Mindset and Healing at the Cellular Level. Lori works with individuals internationally with one-on-one coaching, tele-classes, webinars and home-study courses.
  
  
• Sharing her inspirational personal story Lori has spoken at conferences, corporations, college campuses, and special-interest events nationwide--wherever people are seeking intelligent, practical, and entertaining ways to find balance in their lives. Lori tailors her important message to help all audiences improve their state of mind, make good choices, turn off the “auto-pilot” switch, reduce stress, empower themselves and…DARE to dream!
  
  
• A talented lyricist and singer, Lori wrote lyrics as part of her recovery process. Her first CD is Systems of Control.
