Testimonials
- “This time with each other far exceeded our expectations. We learned so much about our attachment styles and the cycle that we got stuck in. We hope that Laura is training other therapists as her style is simply expert!” – February 2024
- “I didn’t know what to expect and how this would be helpful. Laura kept us focus and didn’t let us go into ‘rabbit holes’ in our conversations. This helped us progress in conversations that we struggled with at home. We appreciated understanding our communication and learning how to do it in a more secure, open and loving way!” March 2024
- “This retreat helped us get reconnected and learn how to listen more openly and respond to one another. We were able to uncover parts of ourselves that we didn’t know about but were influencing our marriage. We appreciated Laura’s ability to draw things out in a safe and supportive environment.” April 2024
- “Laura helped us go very slowly to uncover deeper things that prevented us from connecting. We had so many hard issues and as we tackled each one, we felt supported, safe and we were allowed to be seen & heard. We were able to understand issues that we couldn’t let go of in an entirely new light which was both revealing and healing.” April 2024
