Our Story
Laura Kirkikis- Empowering Women Through Fitness
When I became a mom, I quickly realized that getting back into fitness wasn’t as simple as I thought it would be. It felt overwhelming — my body had changed, my time wasn’t my own, and I often felt isolated. What I really needed was connection. I needed to be around other moms who understood exactly what I was going through.
I joined a local mom workout group in the city I was living in at the time, and it truly saved me. It gave me more than just a space to exercise — it gave me community, support, and the confidence to start moving again. I didn’t feel alone anymore.
When I moved back home to New Orleans, I knew I wanted to bring that same experience to other moms. That’s how PowHer was born — a fitness community for moms of all stages, built on strength, support, and the belief that taking care of yourself is a powerful act of motherhood.
This is more than a workout. This is your space to reconnect with your body, find your people, and Reclaim Your Her — together.

Hi, I’m Laura Kirkikis — founder of PowHer, certified personal trainer, run coach, and mom of three.Born and raised in New Orleans, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from LSU, where I also competed as a Division I athlete on the LSU Cross Country and Track & Field team. My passion for movement, health, and helping others led me to become a certified personal trainer and running coach.Over the past 10 years, I’ve trained clients of all backgrounds and coached high school cross country — all while navigating the wild, beautiful ride of motherhood. I believe fitness should be empowering, inclusive, and sustainable — especially for moms.When I’m not coaching or chasing after my three kids (and two dogs), you’ll find me running, enjoying the outdoors with my family, reading a good book, or helping women feel stronger in both body and mind.My mission is to create a supportive space where moms can move with purpose, build confidence, and Reclaim Their Her — because you deserve to show up for yourself.

Coach
My name is Jordan Cohen — I’m a certified personal trainer, registered nurse, and soon-to-be mom of four. Born and raised in New Orleans, my love for movement and the outdoors led me to college in Vermont, where I discovered just how much being active fueled my well-being. As my passion for women’s health grew, especially surrounding the pregnancy and postpartum periods, I decided to pursue a second degree in nursing to deepen my impact.
After having kids, I struggled to return to fitness — until I found Laura’s classes. They allowed me to move, connect, and feel strong again without sacrificing time with my little ones. Now, as a PowHer coach, I combine my medical background with real-life mom experience to create supportive, empowering workouts that meet women exactly where they are.
