Maureen Lake

Maureen has an uncanny ability to focus on tough parenting topics in a heartwarming and empathetic manner. Her #1 best selling book, "Being Happy Raising Happy" empowers moms to change their life & transform their child at the same time.

Maureen Lake is a compassionate advocate for mothers who raise challenging children. She thoroughly enjoyed raising her three children and had a first-hand knowledge living a frenzied lifestyle of a mom who typically put herself last. Maureen has spent numerous years as a special education teacher and now a holistic health coach, but her passion rests with her desire to advocate for moms who want to create long-lasting positive change for themselves. Her profound knowledge of creating an affirming lifestyle took her on a long and windy road to happiness. Maureen knows firsthand the roller coaster ride a mom goes through while striving to better herself and consequently her child. When her daughter, for the third time, was misdiagnosed she decided to pursue her lifelong love of writing to help other moms who have struggled right along with their child. With a master’s degree in special education and certification as a health coach, Maureen began her long career-teaching children with significant needs and later children with literacy challenges. She continued her career as a teacher of teachers and most recently coaching mothers in creating personal lifestyle changes. Maureen lives in Colorado, and if she’s not hiking with her dogs, you can find her indulging in Mexican food with her husband and three inspiring children.
