About

Hello!

My name is Laura Hurley and I'm an Empowerment Consultant.

I started my career working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum providing social, emotional, academic, and behavioral support. I loved this work and developed such strong connections with the kiddos I was able to work with. However, I knew I was missing something. I missed working with young adults in an athletic environment. So, I began working for Hastings College where I created the program for Student Athlete Development — a variety of resources for athletes to succeed academically, athletically, mentally, and socially. As I watched this come to life, I realized what my true calling was: providing development services to individuals in and out of athletics.

That's how I got here... to Wave Consulting. A service that utilizes my experience, passions, and education to help others make ripples in their lives that will eventually lead to waves of changes.

Testimonials

DaeRon, Collegiate Athlete

"Laura was one of the best and most favorited member at Hastings College. She’s gotten the most reserved and “too cool for school” athletes to come out of their shell. She’s become my personal go-to when needing advice academically, professionally, and in some cases psychologically. She’s personable, judgement free, and willing to help virtually anyone."

"Laura has done an extraordinary job with our football team and coaching staff at Hastings College. She taught us and made us as coaches realize how important mental health was for us and for our players. She was a very nurturing figure for our guys and always a person they felt comfortable being vulnerable around. She is very passionate about her job and really cares about people. She is definitely a bright spirit that everyone that works with her loves to be around. We need more people in this world like Laura Hurley!"
