About Me

Laura Posada (author)

Laura Posada is a family health and fitness activist and philanthropic icon.  A modern day “super-woman”, Laura runs the day-to-day operations of 2 organizations, maintains a healthy and fit family and still finds enough time to write a book about it all. As author of FIT HOME TEAM, released September of 2009, Laura describes the triumph of raising a healthy and fit family in the modern day world.

Having always maintained a healthy lifestyle for herself, Laura is ensured to lay the same groundwork for her children.  Laura strives to take the “work” out of working out by finding activities that her kids will enjoy, without them realizing they’re exercising.  Using the same philosophy with diet, she drives home the importance of healthy eating habits from a young age, allowing her children to be stronger and healthier individuals.  With a husband in the athletic spotlight, Laura is constantly asked how she is able to maintain a healthy routine with such a hectic life; her proven success has urged her to share her secrets and tips in her most recent book.

As an attorney barred in both Puerto Rico and the US Federal Court, Laura has worn many hats in the professional world. Growing up, Laura began her career as a publicist, hosting television shows, and working as a fitness model and actress. Since, Laura’s love for fitness and health has inspired her to formally educate herself in this arena, now as a certified personal trainer with the American Fitness Professionals & Associates of the United States of America.   

In the late 1990’s Laura’s son, Jorge Jr., was born with Craniosynostosis, leading the family to start The Jorge Posada Foundation to bring awareness and support to other families dealing with the same struggles. As Co-Founder, Laura offers emotional support to fellow parents of children with Craniosynostosis, and has created a Mentors Program. Her activism has enabled the number of grants given by the Foundation to craniofacial medical centers and service-related organizations to increase by over 500% since its inception. Her determination to generate awareness about the condition has resulted in a significant number of placements in magazines, newspapers, radio, as well as appearances in popular TV shows like the Today Show, Discovery Channel’s American Chopper and ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

 
Dedicated in her mission to spread awareness about Craniosynostosis, Laura also serves on the Board of Directors of the National Foundation for Facial Reconstruction. Together with her husband, Laura received the 2006 Puerto Rican Family Foundation Excellence Award for their commitment to children, especially those affected by Craniosynostosis. In October 2007 she received the Commitment to Family Award from the Girls and Boys Town of New York.

Most recently, Laura has been recognized for both her inner and outer beauty.  Laura was nominated as one of 2009’s Latino Trendsetters by Defining Trends Magazine, honoring her as a leader and innovator in the Hispanic community.  Comité Noviembre honored Laura with the 2009 Puerto Rican Heritage Month Award, for her continual work in preserving Puerto Rico’s rich culture and heritage. Also in 2009, Laura was named Super-Mom by the Magazine Selecciones and will also receive the Inspiring Words award from the Latin Pride National Awards. In 2008, Laura was named an “Always Inspiring Woman” by Siempre Mujer Magazine, in addition to receiving JCPenney’s “Luminous Beauty Award”.

 Laura has based her life philosophy on the premise that health is the most valuable commodity and everyone should do all in their power to pursue it. This philosophy, and the lifestyle changes that promote it, is the foundation of FIT HOME TEAM.
