Laurence Mills

Laurence Mills is a French-American educator who has spent over two decades inspiring and teaching teenagers. Born in La Rochelle, France, a beautiful medieval city by the sea, her upbringing was deeply influenced by the enchanting charm of French culture. Laurence’s early experiences—sailing along the coast, spending time in her charming "Petit Logis", and immersing herself in the beauty of French life—shaped the essence of who she is today. Growing up surrounded by the timeless charm of La Rochelle, she developed a deep appreciation for the intricate aspects of French living, including La Décoration à la Française that instilled in her a sense of wonder and elegance. Laurence’s zest for life is reflected in her love for simple pleasures: walking through nature, swimming, curling up with a good book by the fireplace, and traveling to explore the world. She carries the spirit of her French heritage with her wherever she goes, blending it seamlessly with her life in the United States. As a mother of two, Laurence cherishes every moment with her children, considering them the greatest joy of her life. Family remains at the heart of her world, and her passion for teaching is fueled by a desire to pass on not only knowledge but the joys of life’s everyday wonders. Through it all, Laurence believes in embracing life’s positive journey, always finding beauty and happiness in the little things, just as she did growing up in the magical, coastal town of La Rochelle.
