"Working with Laurie has been absolutely fantastic both in private sessions and in group sessions. In the private sessions, I went in hypnosis to find the roots of anxiety and guilt, and this was achieved the second time I saw her. This is probably the fastest diagnostic tool available, so you can quickly know where to start if you are lost like I was. Being a very rational thinker, I was questioning about the efficacy of hypnosis tapes/mp3, but they do work. You just have to be patient! The group session was even more extra-ordinary. I am a person who feels very nervous and anxious around people, but in the group you feel part of it and the trust builds up fast. Since everything that is said or done in the group in kept confidential, you feel less insecure and the fear to bring up your own problems on the table reduces. Furthermore, everyone in the group has a unified vision: TO BE FREE!!! This common thought increases your confidence because sub-consciously you know that the members of the group are not there to criticize or judge you, but rather to help you and create an awareness of how to deal with insecurity and anxiety in the real world.  Sometimes Laurie creates a simulation in the group to emulate a real world situation where your fear and insecurity might show up. I find this to be a very practical method to teach you how to cope with anxiety because in the group the environment controlled. So it gives you time to pause, relax, think and learn. When the group sessions end, the support group doesn't. You can continue to work through whatever needs attention with your new friends."

"The group was a wonderful interactive experience to safely address emotional and psychological issues in an environment of non judgmental compassion, and understanding.  Laurie is an amazing facilitator who guides the healing process with depth, kindness, and professionalism."

"My group therapy sessions helped me to overcome my self pity and opened me up so fast that I completely turned my life around in a matter of weeks. I regained more self- esteem, power and awareness of the good. I learned how to let go and learned it's ok to be angry sometimes.  It's ok to stand up for my self .  I recommend it for anyone at any stage of their life.
Thank You Laurie and the group."

"The notion of group therapy was put forward to me by Laurie on several occasions and the first few times I boldy dismissed the idea! The thought of an emotional and financial commitment for several consecutive weeks seemed overwhelming; even more so the idea of sharing all that I was feeling and experiencing with perfect strangers seemed too scary a thought. However, one session months later I decided it was time to give it a try. I gathered up my courage and started attending sessions and admittedly, it was the best thing I could have done for myself. The first thing I realized is that I wasn't alone; that other people either understood exactly how I felt, or were struggling with their own issues and I could empathize with them. The support for each other that came out of being in a group was amazing. Not only were we there for each other during our session, but we regularly emailed each other during the week to suss out issues we were struggling with - how great! Of course there were difficult times where we were pushed to our boundaries and encouraged to face issues in front of people that you may never push yourself to face unless on your own. However, the support received after facing the challenge was at times overwhelming enough to bring me to tears of gratitude.
Joining group was an amazing experience and I will always congratulate myself for pushing myself to do so. I'm know I'll join other groups in the future and I very much look forward to doing so."

"I wanted to let you know how much I got from your workshop. I often go back to my temple upon waking and feel the white light pouring into my inner chamber. I also see my guides and remind myself they are within me. It was such a powerful workshop. I thank you so much for having offered it and really look forward to another one next year.

"Speaking with you about my work and going to your workshop were the highlights of this year's conference for me. I loved you manner of presence, of presentation, and of listening. Your face truly mirrors your soul and it was beautiful to experience. I feel strongly that your presence at Northfield signals a return to a spirit-centered conference like I first experienced in the 80s. The number of participants at your workshop indicates to me that this is not just my fanciful thinking. I am reminded of the adage "when the student is ready the teacher appears".

The actual hypnosis session was tremendous. I was a bit skeptical initially about what I could get out of a session like this with twenty of my co-workers all sitting together in a boardroom. However, I was thoroughly energized by the experience. Laurie was absolutely superb- a true professional."

" The presenter's voice and delivery was very soothing and refreshing. At first I was skeptical about taking the time to attend this presentation as I was feeling stressed about the many things I have to do and how I already don't have enough time to do them all. I came out of the session refreshed and relaxed and ready to commit my full energy and focus to the things I have to do.

"I wanted to thank you for your support, heart, love and understanding a long time ago. You walked with me and supported me through the difficult times in my life. I feel blessed and grateful that I came across you, that I met you, that I spent time with you. It was helpful to be with you in therapy. It was very inspiring and rewarding to have met you and be in your company. I am a different person thanks to your help and I will carry the moments and the discoveries I made with your help throughout my life."

My work with Laurie has changed my life. I have experienced profound shifts in my personal relationships. She provided a space where I could acknowledge pain, anger, fear and sadness. She taught me to use my immediate feelings as keys to UNLOCK old emotional injuries. This process revealed the patterns of my life, patterns which I have the power to change. Laurie has also introduced me to meditation, which connects me to the Source at my core. I now feel at home in my spirituality and in the universe.

I have been in therapy several times in my life, on a quest to expand my consciousness and unravel my emotional knots. Laurie has helped me immeasurably. She has an innate, intuitive approach, and effortlessly shifts from one method to another, helping you 'peel away the layers' and reach true resolutions. I am extremely grateful to her. Laurie's heart and mind are in her work.

"Thank you for facilitating and sharing such a positive healing experience for me! You truly provided a space, an opportunity, to explore my past, engage in my present and manifest my future. You have gently taught me to see what has always been there and open up to what can be. I truly feel, Laurie, that I have been able to achieve these things thanks to you. I also appreciate that I had to be ready for and want these things but you showed me they were possible. You are truly a teacher and a healer and I feel privileged to have been the recipient of these gifts."

I was SO ready for change but had no idea of the extent of the adventure to come. My body and mind had fused into this lead weight, quashing all creativity. I had no idea how to break out and begin to believe in my capabilities and regain self esteem. It was quite draining at times; re-opening those valves that were slammed shut for so long, drew a lot of energy. If you let it, your spirit will begin to unravel, flow and eventually expand. Laurie is very sensitive to one's needs and will always endeavor to be as gentle a guide throughout the many journeys with her calming presence.

I started seeing Laurie when I was suffering from intense agitation, insecurity and anxiety. I had an idea of what was causing it, but I was still very confused and unaware. After a few sessions with Laurie, I noticed a dramatic change. I began to resolve and tie together all of the baggage that I had been carrying. Laurie used various exercises and therapy tools that helped me move forward. I continued to see Laurie throughout the summer and she would help me work out my frustrations and insecurities. I started to make sense of everything. I had been so confused and thought there was something wrong with me, yet Laurie was able to open my eyes to a completely new concept of what was causing my issues. She was able to help me realize that many of my issues were the result of other people's negative energies and problems (family). Laurie was able to channel into my energy levels and see the greater picture, the truth. This is one of her special gifts, in that she can visualize with her clients and tap into what they see and feel. After coming to these realizations, my energy shifted from irritability on a day to day basis to feeling good and ready to take on the world. I was able to put the past behind me and start looking toward my future which I wasn't able to do. Laurie had me do the work on my own, with her aiding me through the process and I feel this was extremely effective. By the end of the Summer I felt confident, the rain clouds and darkness in my head cleared away and I felt resolved. I am now on an excellent path. There have been some severe changes in my life and I feel that Laurie was able to guide me on this positive path. My husband and I have moved to the USA and are much happier in our new environment. I no longer carry the anger and agitation that I had been having for so long. I am more confident, aware and not at all confused anymore as I also have figured out my career path. I wasn't able to move forward before, as there was a blockage. All of this unraveled with my sessions with Laurie. Good things started to happen in my life, and I looked at the world differently, with more optimism and light. I really noticed how my confidence increased, as she helped me reach great clarity and wisdom. Laurie is incredibly intuitive, soothing and understanding. She has a healing gift and was able to move me from various stages in a rapid manner. I can now begin my new life with my husband completely resolved and free, and I look forward to our future.
