Hypnosis Testimonials

Lauren and listened to the custom CD she made for a week. Now my wife can sleep without earplugs.

I rarely snore, and when I do Lauren's instructions kick in and I stop almost immediately.

My wife and I can finally sleep together with ease. Thanks, Lauren, for you great skill and caring service."

"Lauren has a calm, professional manner which immediately makes one feel at ease.

"Thank you so much for being our keynote speaker on Monday. Everyone really enjoyed

your presentation and thought it was a perfect end to the day. You were awesome and inspiring

and your presentation certainly achieved its objective for the Lucidoc team, which was to honor

A number of people came up to me and personally thanked me for arranging your session.

They felt that it was a wonderful way to unwind after a number of intense sessions.

They also tied it back to our session planning of 1 hour presentation 15 minutes Q&A

and 15 minutes time out before the next presentation. That so blended with what you shared

This was the outcome that we were all very much hoping for so we could not be more pleased.

"Lauren worked with me on weight loss in December and I was able to lose 15 lbs in 2 months time.

I enjoyed how she worked with me, it's a partnership where you get the benefit of someone listening

to you and help you to characterize what is at the core of what you would like to change.

It really helps to talk about your daily habits, routines and desires. Lauren is someone you can trust.

-- Ken Kubota, San Francisco, CA(Note: Ken achieved his success with a virtual session).

"The hypnosis session I had with you regarding my eating habits has totally changed my life.

I may have only listened to that CD 4-5 times total, but my entire world has changed in regards to food.

I have that "radar" for healthy foods that you talked to me about and I no longer crave junk food.

I also don't crave bread at all. I have been so shocked that I am now a healthy eater, no matter where

I am or what I am doing. I think I've probably lost about 4-5 pounds in the last few months, and the

only thing that has changed is my food cravings, etc...they are gone!!! Thank you so much!"

I now have a clearer picture of the obstacles that stood in my way, and how to clear them.

She presented in-depth material clearly and concisely, and made it fun and inspiring.

These are the techniques that she has used over the years for herself." - Laura Lee, Bellevue, WA

"I was extremely pleased with the results. Not only were the fears and anxieties

I specifically wanted to treat addressed, more subtle changes in my energy and outlook took place.

I am extremely grateful for having met Lauren and for having her create this tape.

Lauren's ability to transform the "self" is phenomenal and was invaluable to me both personally and socially."

"Lauren is a true inspiration! Her newsletter hits my soul each time I receive it.

Her courses are fresh and ask us to be open to new ideas.

Her home, which is where she offers her classes, is a beautiful extension of her

family's vision to share their knowledge with everyone.

Lauren, thank you -- and your husband -- for providing a positive source for us."

- Linda Browne, Kirkland, WA

"I love your snoring CD - I listen to it every night in bed. I can't always stay awake for

the whole thing though! You have a wonderful voice and I love the background music

too. I have been playing the trance music at work - I love that too."

--Samantha B., massage therapist, Kirkland, WA

"I've been listening to your Good Night's Sleep CD every night on a continuous

loop all night. I've been doing that for several months and can DEFINITELY see

a difference in my quality of sleep. I noticed it after the first week. I seem to sleep

more productively with less fatigue on the same amount of sleep. I've noticed that

I'm not as tired in the mornings. Big improvement on this!"

-- Dee Graf, Executive Assistant, Palatine, IL

"My 24 year old daughter, Jennifer, had a string of sleepless nights and I suggested

she listen to your Angel Healing Meditation CD. The next morning I asked her how

it went. She said, "It's a lovely CD and after about ten minutes into it I was wondering

if it would work. And then the next thing I knew, it was morning and I'd had a wonderful

night's sleep! It was amazing!" Thank you for giving my daughter her first good night's

sleep in a week!"

--Sher Emerick, Founder of Satori Seven Productions, Kirkland, WA

"I gave your Weight Loss CD to my friend. She listens to it every night before she

goes to sleep. The first thing she noticed is that she actually slept through the night

for a whole week! She hasn't been able to do that at all [due to recent life stresses].

Your CD is working wonderfully for her! The second week of listening she noticed she's

drinking more water and she is going for healthy foods instead of not so healthy!"

--D.B., Redmond, WA

"I think of you often, especially with "The Secret" being a headliner today. I feel happy

that I was able to get the "secret" from you." -- T.S., Bainbridge, WA

"You would not believe the transformation that has occured in my life since our first

meeting. I feel so much happier and healthier. This is the best I've felt since my 20's."

--S.B., Woodinville, WA

"I love your Awakening Soul CD. Since it doesn't induce a trance state, you can

listen to it or have it playing almost subliminally in the background while you're doing

almost anything. Great for busy multi-taskers. Even if you're not paying direct attention

to it word for word, through repeated listenings, key resonant phrases stick with you.

I find they are reactivated in my mind at key points. I have gotten into the habit of

listening to it in my car on the way to and from work each day as a way to remind me to

stay "soul-centered" as I embark on my work day, and as a sort of review of how I did

at the end, again shifting me to that "soul-centered" place on my way home, so I

can maintain a clear perspective." -- Dee Graf, Executive Assistant, Palatine, IL

"Lauren, I can't thank you enough for last night. Being introduced to your community

was delightful for me as an artist and as a friend. Working with you from beginning

to end has been a perfectly positive experience. Thanks for the huge acknowledgement."

--Vanda Mikoloski, performer, comedian, presenter

"The Positive Central video production for The Gathering is a jolt of inspiration and energy.

Lauren's clear voice delivers an impelling message and combines with the expansive

movement of images that ignite a spark deep within the heart and soul. Thank you for

sharing your gifts with the world." -- Mary Lee LaBay, author, Bellevue, WA

"Lauren, I honestly must say that when I began listening to your Awakening Soul CD,

it gave me the chills. That doesn't happen to me often. So, from the beginning,

I knew it was a hit. Let's say this...the cells of my body KNEW this was something

special! Your VOICE was soooooooooooooo grounded and soft...it resonated

throughout my senses. I felt as though my thoughts were being healed along with cells."

"I am doing really great. I have listened to the custom CD you made for me (on my iPod)

once very day since we met. I am able to get completely relaxed while I am listening to it

and when I wake up I feel refreshed in body and mind. I love it! That CD is a real gem. I know

I will refer to it a lot for relaxation and I am sure I will use it when I am flying."

"I attended the Hypnotherapy Resource Forum symposium and Ending Insomnia Class this month.

I wanted to tell how much I have appreciated and enjoyed having these classes available.

The panels and classes at the Symposium were very helpful in eliminating my concerns about

Hypnosis. I am receiving benefits from the Symposium. Attending the Ending Insomnia class helped

me more than I had hoped. I am sleeping through the night, feeling much happier and rested as

a result of the sleep. I am very happy with this result! I recommend my friends attend classes

like these when they are offered. Lauren was an excellent facilitator and offered wonderful,

helpful cd's." --D.N., Admistrative Assistant, Physician Practices - Evergreen Medical Group

Suzanne, a single mother of 3 boys, had the wisdom to study ways to create financial freedom.

She chose to be a real estate investor, but "something was not working. Although I had accomplished

my first goal, I felt I was still somehow hitting a wall. Deep down inside myself I really didn't believe that

I could run a business and buy investment real estate. I knew that if I wanted to do more, I would have

to recondition my subconscious mind into believing the story I had been telling myself.

Through a friend, I found Lauren. After we spoke and I told her of my mission to move into a

wonderful new life, she and I got down to work. She intuitively and creatively would listen to my needs

and then create a hypnotherapy session around this. Each session she would record on a CD and

I would take it home to listen to over and over again. When I was feeling insecure, I would listen to it.

When I was falling asleep at night, I would listen to it. Through the 3 years we have known each

other, we have had about 5 sessions together. Each building upon the next. I listen to the CDs Lauren

recorded nearly every day. Over the past 3 years, I have purchased 14 homes and now have my first

commercial building under contract. I have attracted wonderful people to assist me in my new life

I now have the freedom to spend time with my growing boys and create the new life I had been

envisioning. This never would have happened without the help of hypnotherapy. My old belief system

would never have allowed me to move into the world of business and freedom that I enjoy today."

"The Hypnotherapy Resource Forum event was lively and informative and altogether impressive.

Each speaker did a terrific job, and complimented each other beautifully in the panel discussion.

I have managed events personally, so I know such smooth results don't happen by accident!

Participants were made to feel welcome and valued and everyone seemed appreciative of how

well the schedule was organized. I especially want to commend Evergreen on hosting such a

worthwhile event -- one of the many I see in your community schedule. I had no preconceived

notions on the benefits of hypnotherapy, but I'm now convinced its techniques can be invaluable

"I am doing great. Thank you for helping me to stop smoking. I feel so much better, healthy,

"I can't tell you how great the last few days have been regarding the whole food issue. The

'panic' over food is all but gone, truly amazing. I have been very diligent with listening to the

CD, on Saturday I listened to it twice. I'm a little hooked on laying down and being quiet for

a few minutes -- it feels great to allow myself that luxury. It's odd that every time I listen to the

recording, I hear different things than what I heard the time before. I had no idea it would feel

this good, even with out of town guests this weekend, food thoughts barely crossed my mind!

I really could have cared less! Go figure! I can hardly wait to see what lies ahead in this journey

because so far I can't tell you how excited I am about the changes that already seem to be

"I have to say one thing -- you are truly amazing. I admire and respect you - for your professionalism,

your amazing work ethic, your plethora of talents and gifts...I don't know how you do it all."

"I just listened to Awakening Fitness for my first time, and it is fabulous! GREAT JOB! Your voice is marvelous,

inflections and energy great -- warm and positive without being too sweet or too much -- you sound very

deeply sincere, and sunny and upbeat in a grounded way. The music is wonderful and your

affirmations excellent. The pauses between seem just right. Excellent work and I am so inspired!"

"Tonight a friend and I settled into his comfy leather couch and lit a candle and a stick of incense and

settled into listening to Awakening Soul. All twelve wonderful minutes of it. Your voice is beautiful as

is the music and it is a piece that circles back on the chorus a number of times so that the message is

gently reaffirmed. I can see I will incorporate listening to this CD daily and preferably rising early

to do this each morning and set the tone of my day. Twelve minutes to a better day is a small investment

"I listened to Awakening Soul and found it to be very professionally done. Your voice carries very well

and I like the music behind. I found it to be very soothing and a great guide for visualizing what is is

"Thank you for your graciousness in inviting us into your home and into your community to share

our insights and passion for this film and in helping us to spread the word to insure its Seattle

success. There were a lot of powerful people in that room and it seems as if they all got

ignited last night. No one wanted to leave, despite how late it got. You created a warm and

inviting space for people and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Thank you for everything."

"I wanted to tell you again how much I enjoyed the session. You've done an excellent job with

both classes I've attended. Your instruction, the experiences of others, and the guided session

you did helped me realize some very important personal insights....I'm also reminded that

hypnosis and self hypnosis can be powerful tools to grow. I really like your approach."

gathering of this like minded group of people very special, the fact that you and your

husband have committed to sharing your magnificent home for such purposes is inspiring

in and of itself. I am most impressed with your generosity and y our manifesting of your

"I wanted to let you know how valuable the private session and CD have been to me. I went

to an audition in downtown Seattle for a talent agency that only signs 150 people a year

and was chosen out of hundreds of people to be signed on the spot. I wanted to send you my

"I just wanted to update you on things. As you may recall, our session dealt with my finding

a "soul mate" or someone who I was really compatible with in terms of a romantic relationship.

Well, after continuing to do some intention and creative visualization exercises, I've found him!

So, now I am going to continue to use these techniques in other areas of my life (e.g. job).

"Lauren, I really enjoyed your class tonight. you are a very inspiring teacher. After I got home,

I logged onto your website. It is so refreshing to find someone so positive as you and with so

many positive ideas. I have always tried to view my life with a glass half full attitude. It really

makes a difference. I look forward to next month's class. Off to listen to your cds...." D.A., Kirkland WA

"Thanks again for both of the CDs. I've listened to them for several weeks now. The first CD,

'Awakening Soul," is my constant companion in the car. It's relaxing and a great reminder about

personal responsibility for thoughts. The second CD, 'The 7 Steps of Self-Hypnosis,' is very

effective. I was skeptical. You may laugh, but after my first listening, I can't remember being more

relaxed. I was surprised - that wasn't supposed to happen!" -- D.H., Redmond, WA

"I wanted to email feedback on two CD's I bought back in June. The 'Awakening Fitness' and

'Perspective' have become two of my daughter's favorite nightly routines. She likes it SO much

that she has requested I get your going to sleep one. ;]. The fitness CD has definitely helped me

to continue on a healthy path and be more open and positive in my daily experiences. I can't

"really" tell but it seems that my other daughter has been more relaxed and able to talk with

"I just wanted to let you know that the Angel Healing Meditation CD has already made a

difference for my daughter. She's been having a hard time sleeping due to anxiety from

the beginning of the new school year as well as anxiety from her Dad serving in Afghanistan.

She started listening to the CD 2 nights ago. The first night she listened to it twice through

before falling asleep and turned it on again in the early morning when she woke up and

couldn't go back to sleep. It was great that she wasn't getting up several times and I'm glad

that she has a method for relaxation. The second night she went to sleep right away and slept

all night! It is wonderful that it has worked so quickly. I can see how the meditations within

"Since our session, things are going really, really well. I have listened to my custom CD many

times and it has helped in so many ways. First of all, my business has improved – my last month

was better than my past twelve, and I know it’s directly related to the shift in my attitude.

It’s also helping in my personal life – when my daughter broke her arm, I remembered

your suggestion that “no matter what happens, you have the inner strength to handle it.”

That helped me to remain calm and focused in an emergency situation when my daughter

I've been meaning to write you and tell you how I've been. I have officially quit smoking

thanks to you and am feeling great. I have referred quite a few people to you and hope they

will contact you. I have about 5 more weeks on my pregnancy which is going well. I have

been blessed with an easy pregnancy. Thanks for all your positive wishes.

I appreciate you helping me in quitting smoking. Thank you, Lisa R., Everett, WA

"I want you to know how much I appreciate your professionalism at meetings and with

communication and emails. I love the way your are in charge and friendly about it.

Your manner commands respect and you are warm and approachable. I hope you are

president for as long as you feel able to manage it. I cheer you on." -- A member of the

National Guild of Hypnotists, Washington State Chapter

"You elevate the respectability of our profession." - Another member of the

National Guild of Hypnotists, Washington State Chapter

"Your Snoring CDs are working. I do snore on occasion, but it's rare.

And I can get by without using the CPAP -- I do use it at times, but end up

taking it off during the night because it's uncomfortable. Most of the time now

when I wake up without using the CPAP, I feel more comfortable and don't

feel dead at work." -- Steve in Renton, WA

"Every time I listen [to the custom hypnotic induction], I hear something I hadn't noticed

before. I've been listening to it for two weeks now, and I still feel like I'm experiencing

it on a different level." -- C.M., Seattle, WA

"Your newsletters are awesome! Keep up the great work! I'm coming to your class at

Evergreen and bringing my husband and a neighbor. I always copy a portion of your

newsletter and send it to those I love - near and far." -- Anna Smith, Woodinville, WA

"I learned a great deal from learning about the mind, spirit, body and emotion interconnection."

I liked learning how to use the biofeedback and how it feels to be in your heart space."

"I enjoyed all of the helpful hints from you and others about food and nutrition,

"I'm glad to learn that weight lifting doesn't have to be hard or exhausting to be just as beneficial,

"Learning about the dimensions of being was a great way to begin the weekend."

"The hypnosis session that gave me my symbol was very powerful and I will gain from it."

"You demonstrated with the food you served that eating healthy is actually good."

"I am now inspired to lift weight because I don't want to lose muscle every year and I want strong bones."

"Thank you for making the space safe and turning us 'strangers' into a supportive and loving community."

"I enjoyed and learned from all the exercises. I loved the portions where we went out in nature."

"I was astonished at what came up for me deep inside during the Friday evening portion."

"I enjoyed the science behind emotion, the brain, really all the science that you used throughout the weekend."

"I loved making the connection of how this fits in context to nature, time, rituals, cravings."

and that exercise can start out with small changes and small amounts of time."

"The releasing the past visualization was especially helpful in that it aided me to stop my after-dinner snacking."

how to activate positive emotions, and how the connection of appreciation works."

"Learning how to incorporate short periods of exercise on a daily basis was very helpful."

This was so important to me and it has become clear what I need now and why I yo-yo in my weight.
