Lori's Story
Welcome!
I've had a great life, on the outside. But on the inside, I was unsettled, depressed, confused and searching for answers.
Through meditation, psychedelics, reading books, attending workshops, and diligently studying the subconscious mind, I found peace.
Now, I am called to support others in their healing journey through Tapping (GEMT: Guided Empathy Meridian Tapping), meditation, hypnotherapy, coaching, and sacred medicines.
Background
For 30 years, I had a rewarding career as a corporate trainer. I raised two amazing kids, ran an art studio, and traveled the world with my husband. I had a great life, on the outside. But, under the surface, I suffered from depression and anxiety, had a negative self-image, and was a people-pleaser. I had co-dependency and attachment issues. I wanted intimacy, but at the same time, I feared it. I had difficulty regulating my emotions. I was up and down. Sad, happy, depressed, manic. But I managed to hold myself together, until the kids left the nest.
When the kids went off to college, I fell apart. I wondered....Who am I? Why am here?
I spent the next 4 years (and counting) exploring my past, my subconscious, my inner world. I explored meditation, traditional therapy, hypnotherapy, GEMT, shamanic journeys, and spiritual ceremonies including ayahuasca, Psilocybin, and other medicines. I learned how childhood trauma and society's expectations impacted my life, relationships, and self-image.
GEMT was one of the most helpful and accessible modalities, so I became certified in 2021, and now I an excited to share the power of GEMT with others.
It's not for everyone, but for those who are ready, it can be a game changer.
GEMT helped me change my perceptions and achieve a healthier state of mind, body and spirit.
