CLIENT Love

“Working with Lanie, I learned to be more accepting and allowing of my natural feelings and expressions.  I was able to set down my guards and experience closeness with my husband - in ways I had never experienced.  The experience taught me to express myself where I needed to express and move deeper into connection as I felt comfortable doing so.   My marriage is closer than it ever has been.
I have more freedom to communicate and stay close.

I discovered the importance of Bold Truth and radical honesty and how this allows for closer connection.  I learned the power of being in nature and allowing intuition to speak to me in new ways….nature, art, environment.  I have incorporated more creativity and color into my business processes which has elevated the fun factor in my everyday life.

I loved the option to meet outdoors – the walking and talking and sorting through things.  I loved the EcoArt exercises and the way in which they informed me with new insight and understanding.
I loved Lanie’s approach in showing me that what I was feeling was natural, ok, and that by giving the big feelings permission to be there – they actually diminished.

Lanie will guide you into places within yourself that you have had trouble breaking through on your own.  Lanie’s calm, grounded presence and intuition allows you to freely explore your own big feelings in a way that feels safe and comfortable.  Lanie will hold your vision and challenge you to push past the places where you want to hide out or play small so that you can realize your bigger desires.   She will also highlight your own natural strengths and abilities so that you can stretch into that bigger, brighter version of yourself.”

"After working with Lanie, it was like a whole new world presented it self... a world of creativity, playfulness, calmness, adventure, exploration, curiosity, healing, challenge, safety, reflection, love, community and much more. It felt new but it also felt fitting. It was me. A me that I kind of knew but not very well.

True to the type of experiences that occur in creative play here, I can’t explain in words, how uplifting this experience has been. I’ve learned learned how to connect with that energy beyond words. Lanie is so great at deactivating defenses and insecurities by not being afraid to lovingly call them out, probably in anticipation that we go there. And she invited to play freely, no judgement, no plan, no rules, no technique. And her reminders to just do it, to play and go with it, feel genuine and loving. And I felt free to be.

I also appreciate her reminder of nature! Its like home away from home. Her passion for creative play is infectious. She had my creative juices flowing and her encouragement inspired me to get out there and play with no shame. Thank you, Lanie, for sharing your passion. ️"

"I was hesitant that I might not have enough time to commit to the homework as I would like but one of the biggest things I was able to accomplish was to gain some perspective. What I learned from Lanie is that my point of view is not always the full truth but instead a reflection of a story I am casting onto a situation. I used to feel as though I was being "bothersome" by expressing my needs. It was keeping me from speaking up and out on my behalf. By learning to quiet that negative voice, I was able to express my needs and change my situation. I loved that Lanie was always goal-focused, as a result it kept me goal-focused. I have become more reflective of my inner dialogue and how it affects my mood and gets in my way. I have learned how to break things down into steps. Checking in with someone every two weeks was really important for accountability. Results require action and accountability and Lanie helped me outline the steps and provided the reassurance and accountability I needed to make change in my life. I have already recommended Lanie to others!"
