Testimonials:

"Coaching with Lauree is a refreshing experience. Her credentials are awesome yet her style is relaxed and unpretentious.  As a certified life coach myself, I 'walk my talk' by continuing to benefit from the insights and gifts of other professional coaches. Lauree brought an incredible amount of freedom, fun and space into our coaching calls.

Lauree is passionate about using the body's non-verbal messages as a tool for clearer insight. I will never forget the moment Lauree asked me; 'What is your body doing right now?' When I looked down, I was clenching my fists and tapping them against each other while trying to put my thoughts into words. My body was giving a strong message of conflict. Just being aware of my own body language led to a helpful insight for growth." —Anne L. Denmark, M.Ed., Certified Life Coach, Life Discovery Coaching
