Laura A. Hames Franklin was a dancer, physical educator, mentor and coach. Laura was a truly unforgettable person, bursting with energy and passion, and a source of wondrous inspiration for those around her. Originally trained as a dancer and Franklin Method educator, Laura mastered the mind-body connection like few others. She went on to dedicate her work to sharing this understanding and helping people achieve their dream in life.

Over the course of her career, she taught, inspired and coached thousands of people – helping every one of them lead their best life and fulfil their true potential.

Her untimely passing in early 2021 caused an outpouring of emotion around the world, revealing the extraordinary number of lives Laura touched during her time with us.

The Franklin Method scholarship now established in her name is dedicated to continuing her work of helping others turn their dreams into reality.
