“Do you know how hard it has been to write a description of how your work has changed my life?? It is so multifaceted. It has put me in touch with parts of myself that I never even knew existed, and I'm able to tune into the most hidden, vulnerable places inside. I no longer feel stuck in my wounds without a way out as I did for so long. The transformative tools you taught me help me every day in all sorts of practical ways and instead of feeling ashamed or at odds with parts of myself, I now have huge self acceptance and self love!”

“Working with Lara has been so rewarding. Throughout my entire life, I have struggled with depression. I was referred to Lara by an acquaintance and through her insights I now understand that I am not "broken". I have been able to open my heart compassionately to my family of origin and to my ancestors, thank them for the gift of life, and give myself the permission to seek joy in my own journey. Lara has been instrumental in revealing many hidden truths that I simply could not see. I am so grateful for her wisdom and gentle guidance and I look forward to carrying the gifts I have received from her throughout the remainder of my life.”

Ariana Spillane, Santa Rosa, CA

“Having worked with many different practitioners over the last ten years, I have found Lara to be an extremely wise, knowledgeable and compassionate woman. She seems to possess the traits of someone who has walked the path of life many times over. Her intuitiveness is powerful to behold. It has been a very great honour for me to have had her guidance and support.”

Johanna Lueders, London, UK

“Thank you a thousand times for all your love and help. I've been in therapy for 22 years and yet one single session with you has opened my eyes to a whole new world of relating to myself. I feel an unaccustomed ease and joy in everything. What a gift!”

Geraldine Bethune, London, UK

“I cannot recommend Lara highly enough, as a wise, compassionate witness and guide. She helped me reflect on my loss of self, on my need for individuation, to call back my projections off the other and reclaim these lost parts of my psyche. Grief yields to gratitude, for these experiences, all of them. I cannot thank Lara enough for her support, compassion and guidance.”

“My work with you has enabled me to become more thoughtful, reflective, and deliberate in how I connect with others and how I perceive my world. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from you.”

Jess Beauchemin, Bend, OR

“It’s like Lara helped me remove the sticky surface on the depth of tension I carry so that the stresses could come up to the surface and be released. I feel relaxed and lighter inside. I’m so grateful I was able to have my time with Lara.” 

Joy Chatham, Malvern, AR

“My work with Lara has led to a deep evolution in my thinking and a more harmonious relationship with all the parts of myself. I'm amazed at how our weekly phone calls over the past few months have transformed so many parts of my life. I find the depth at which she works through her guided meditations, honest reflections, and coaching to be more profound and accessible than any other therapy I have known. As someone with many years of experience with ceremonial work, I had some tremendous learnings from Lara's approach to holding ceremonial space. She is very skilled at guiding the deep medicine work and supporting the body and her level of one-on-one engagement and guiding was like none I have ever experienced. I have felt a deep shift in my thinking and feeling around certain people and situations in my life. It truly is changing my life and how I relate to the world.”

Lisa Chatham, Sebastopol, CA

“Lara has been able to guide me to a point of clarity and forward momentum that has not been achieved by years of counseling. I am absolutely floored by her ability to guide and support me in this way.”

Anthony Veltri, Corvallis, OR

​

“You are amazing! Thank you so much for your skillful guidance and loving support. I feel so blessed that I met you a year and a half ago, and for all the ways that your support has brought clarity, understanding and compassion to my relationships with myself, with my mother, and now with my partner. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a treasure in my life”

Hannah Grace, Ashland, OR​

“Working with Lara has changed my life. I spent years in therapy but was never able to extract the grief I carried in the memories of my cells. As I am learning to integrate the pain that I have suppressed for so long, my world is radically shifting. I am more present. I’m developing real compassion for myself. And I am feeling ALIVE. May all people have the profound opportunity to receive the support and tools that Lara shares, and to emerge from the internal cocoons that have imprisoned them. Lara’s guidance, support, and brilliance have illuminated the path to my freedom. May they illuminate the path to yours.”

Jenna Derrick, Sebastopol, CA

“What you are doing for me is priceless. If I were a young person in a tribe and you were the healer taking me through these steps I would owe my life to you! You are a wonderful healer. The world so needs your caring.”

Denis White, Corvallis, OR

“I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for yesterday's session. It was totally amazing and completely life changing and marked a major personal breakthrough for me. You have worked on my deepest layers and set me free to shine as I know I was created to.”

“I'm pretty sure more progress was made today than during the seven years that I've been doing annoying therapy stuff.”
