The journey

From Kuala Lumpur to San Francisco to Amsterdam.

Thirteen years inside the Lagree method, two continents, and one operating standard that holds from San Diego to Amsterdam.

Mabel Ng Lau moved from Malaysia to the United States at twenty-one, earned a degree in public relations, and spent four years in advertising before finding the Lagree method at CORE40 in 2011.

She certified as a Lagree instructor in 2013 and grew inside CORE40 under Dean and Lisa Grafos - studio leadership in San Diego, expansion into San Francisco, then international partnership through CORE40 Netherlands in 2021.
