Laurie Parma

Laurie is a biology and neuroscience graduate, turned psychology researcher turned behavioural scientist. Through the last decade, she has developed an inter-disciplinary skill set to understand well-being at all levels - biological, psychological and social.

Her fascination for the science of well-being was originally built out of a personal need to understand and overcome fibromyalgia, a chronic pain and fatigue disorder. She started LifeCloud, her company, after 3 years of research in neuropsychology at the University of Cambridge.

Her method for teaching and consulting for well-being in the workplace are the results of compiling and integrating the best models, concepts, interventions and assessment methods for human flourishing.
