RENEWED is a personal development program that was created to help people rediscover their natural state of balance, reduce symptoms of stress, burnout, and adrenal fatigue that can lead to anxiety and depression using a Mind, Body, Spirit Approach to living. The Mind, Body, Spirit Approach to living is learning how to manage stress by fulfilling our physical, spiritual, mental and emotional needs regardless of what our society, culture, family or religion says.

Katie LaPlant, LICSW
Katie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Certified Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapist, Author and Life Coach. She has 15+ years experience working with men, women, children and teens. Katie is author and founder of RENEWED: A Mind, Body, Spirit Approach to Self-Renewal. She currently owns a private practice in Derry, NH where she holds private and group coaching programs in addition to counseling services. "Throughout my years of counseling and coaching, I’ve met many men, women, children and teens struggling to find peace and balance. I’ve also had personal life experience battling depression, anxiety and an eating disorder that affected my relationship with myself and others. I learned through working with clients and by living with my own battles how to overcome these struggles by implementing a holistic approach and making lifestyle changes. My passion is to re-teach people how to connect to their intuition and make healthy lifestyle changes that are free of shame and guilt.”
