Testimonials
Many people experience difficult childhoods, and mine was no exception. My father’s alcoholism and emotional abuse created a tumultuous, on-again, off-again relationship between my parents. I never understood why my mother endured it. She often repeated two phrases: “Children learn what they live and live what they learn,” and “We all become what we hate.” I didn’t grasp their meaning until adulthood, when I found myself drawn to unhealthy relationships. I was treated poorly, made to feel unworthy, and my partners often struggled with addiction. These were learned behaviors.
My most recent toxic, on-again, off-again relationship, spanning eleven years, finally became my catalyst for change. Unhappy and lacking self-confidence, my life mirrored my mother’s, a pattern I desperately wanted to break. Approaching 56, I craved happiness and an end to the cycle.
Traditional therapy hadn’t brought me the peace I sought. My rigid, black-and-white thinking prevented me from finding solutions. Frustrated, I knew I needed a different approach. A friend recommended Lorraine, and I decided to try something new. It was the best decision I ever made.
Lorraine’s methods were unconventional and effective. She introduced me to tools like tapping, meditation, and journaling to manage anxiety and stress. She emphasized self-kindness and gratitude, which proved transformative.
I highly recommend Lorraine to anyone struggling. Her skill, kindness, and compassion make her an exceptional resource.
Lorraine has been an essential piece to my personal growth. We experience the trifecta; peers, coach and friendship. Lorraine can effortlessly separate and unbend each part that we share together. As a peer, we can support and help reaffirm our career growth as life coaches. As a coach she has been essential in helping me reach goals, maintain a clear and guided view of what I need day-to-day, and assist in my goals and clearing blocks from my life. As a friend she lives the embodiment of what she represents as a life coach.
And her dog loves me!
From our first session she has been able to use those qualities to tap into what I used to refer to as “random ideas” or “lofty dreams” and now right before my eyes they are becoming my current reality!! In our sessions she often poses observations or questions that encourage me to self reflect, which most times I find myself saying “Wow I didn’t even realize that!” I have a tendency to procrastinate or start things and leave them unfinished. Together we make realistic weekly goals that I now not only achieve, but I exceed! In a very short period of time she has guided me into this amazing new chapter of my life I never saw coming. I cannot thank her enough for the motivation, encouragement, strength and wisdom she has given me, I am forever grateful.
Lorraine and I have been meeting weekly for the last four months. She was referred to me by a friend and I thought “Sure why not? What do I have to lose? It can’t hurt right?” Little did I know, that decision would change my life in a way I was never expecting. She has an amazing way of using a supportive, non-judgmental, unbiased approach that naturally promotes self reflection, self discovery and empowerment.
