About Laurie’s Clients and Students

The individuals Laurie works with are quite diverse. Yet, they share several essential qualities:

• a deep and heartfelt longing to know and trust themselves
• an urgency to live out the wisdom of their own knowing
  
• an openness to vital guiding energies - within and without
• an inclination to trust the intuitive creative Process
  
• a pull to create a future they desire

They are thoughtful adventurers, taking time to get clear, readying themselves to explore and choose ways of living, working and being that they truly and fully desire. Sometimes they also need help with traditional career concerns: resumes, job search strategies, interviewing skills, evaluating offers, negotiating, performance reviews, minimizing job stress, coping with difficult work situations, choosing to leave or stay, being fired, planning for an ever-changing future and healthy decision-making.
