I had recently split from long term relationship, I was lonely and unsure where to turn. In a small town I was probably too conscious of appearances. Laura was kind and caring and maybe recognized my vulnerability and insecurity. Her open, straight forward and humorous approach put me at ease which allowed me to change and grow. I’m now, more confident in embracing change and differences without judgement. I’m just more comfortable with who I am. Laura is genuine, attentive and thoughtful. She shares so much and allows you to relax and open up. Her sense of humour keeps me coming back… Trust Laura to bring out something in you, maybe you didn’t realise. And it will be rewarding. And fun.

I had a lot of personal and professional anxiety that I was completely unable to manage. I feared that I would be surrendering self control in some way through hypnotherapy. Eventually, I reached out to Laura and we worked together. I still have anxiety from time to time, but she’s given me so many great tools to manage it and to be more present and mindful in general. I would absolutely encourage anyone to go for it. There is little, if anything, to lose and so much to potentially gain!

Laura is very intuitive. The thing that impacted me most about working with Laura is how she asks her questions. I know on the surface they are to help her help me, but they really make me think about my answer and provoke me to look deeper.

I have a hard time talking and laying everything out. I get embarrassed easily. I overcame these worries after hearing how caring and truly interested Laura was in helping me. I ended up with a better self esteem. It is so easy to work with her. Laura is open, easy to talk to and has genuine concern about the people y she is helping. I would totally encourage anyone to work with Primitive Balance. She is funny, energetic, kind, caring, and very welcoming. There is no judgement. Laura is an amazing listener and really helps one to become a better person.

I guess what I’ve learned most in our conversations and sharing is that it doesn’t matter what age you are or what generation you are in, but being a woman doesn’t mean you are the weaker sex and that speaking up for yourself and being more assertive doesn’t make you a bitch. I’ve learned from Laura that there is a tactful and polite way of letting someone else know they are being rude , wrong or stepping over the line and that you are not OK with that . You allow people to treat you the way you do by your silence. Speak up for yourself because no one else will!

I first began working with Laura during the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. Like many, the pandemic brought unexpected life challenges and I was trying to navigate a new normal. On top of that, I was transitioning into a new job and my partner of ten years and I were feeling deflated in the bedroom. I initially approached Laura with the encouragement of my partner as more of a sex therapist. I was looking for someone who could re-energize that particular area of my life, but I was also very nervous. Obviously, sex is very personal and it was challenging at first to be open and forthcoming with my true emotions regarding the topic. No one wants to admit their shortcomings, especially in that realm. However, Laura was very genuine, reassuring and warm. She has a natural ability to make you feel comfortable and discuss your deepest fears. Within one session, I knew that Laura was not only a professional in this realm but that she had a natural gift for it. Although, I approached Laura initially as a sex coach I think she has helped me in so many more areas of my life. She has helped me find a voice as a young, working female professional and has allowed me a deeper reflection on who I am and who I want to become. Working with Laura is a gift – an investment in yourself. She is extremely non-judgmental and very easy to talk to. Your hour long session honestly flies by and you will wish you had another hour to just chat. For anyone who is considering working with Laura, just do it. Choosing a therapist/coach is a very personal decision and not every coach is the right fit for every individual. But Laura is that perfect mix of kind, professional and understanding that works for most everyone. And even if after one session you decide Laura is not the right coach for you, you will have at least spent an hour feeling like you got to connect with a close friend.

My experience with Laura was extremely helpful. I’ve used Hypnotherapy in the past with some success but working with Laura was a whole different level of amazing. Laura has such compassion for what she does and for her clients. I’m so grateful she showed up in my experience. Laura is my “go to” partner for all aspects of my life. Thank you Laura!

I came to Laura for help with improving the intimacy in my marriage, and she’s done that. I’m a guy, and I’m horrible at communicating with my wife. I’ve found that I’m not unique in that way. Laura has helped my wife and I improve our communication, bring back excitement and fulfillment in our bedroom, and she’s worked with us individually as well in overcoming some barriers to well-being. My wife and I have tried new things that both of us desired but were afraid to bring up; Laura helped us to make that happen. First, Laura is an amazing person. She’s so down-to-earth, and wonderful to work with. She’s not judgmental and I feel I could talk to her about anything, but she will call you out when necessary – which I do find necessary at times. One of the biggest things that is helpful to me is having accountability from a neutral party, and she provides that. It’s one thing to know what you need to do to improve, but Laura is great at following up to ensure you actually do it. Second, Laura seems to have a vast understanding of human behavior and emotion, and she has a pretty extensive toolkit. She zeroes in on potential issues, and has great insight on ways to improve using a variety of different strategies. It’s hard to put a price on well-being. I think if Laura can help you in some way, like she’s helped my wife and I, that’s quite an investment in yourself. And it’s not a long-term commitment. It’s something you can give a try, and you continue it only as long as it’s helpful. For us, it’s been amazing.

I was at a stage of my life where I needed to clear the clutter in all parts of my life. I have friends who have tried many things to quit, or give up something in their lives. They all said they had success with hypnotherapy. I believe in the power of the mind and thought it would work for me. The change I’ve seen in me is that I have got better organization ability in that I just seem to do it without thinking about it. Working with Laura was very easy. I was nervous at first as I always tend to be, but that went away pretty fast. I felt safe and didn’t have a problem exposing my weakness.

I had been trying and failing to quit smoking for years, finally after suffering from shame and disgust I decided to try hypnosis. I had known other people who had successful quit smoking using hypnosis. On that first call she answered all my questions and made me feel confident in my decision to try hypnosis. With Laura’s help I was able to quit smoking after one session. I wasn’t really sure if it was going to work but I believe that my desire to quit smoking once and for all and Laura’s ability reach my subconscious mind with all the right messages lead to a successful outcome. Laura was easy to work with, it takes a lot to even consider getting hypnotized. It really a traditional treatment option. Laura explains the entire process in a patient and understandable way, she even answers the dumb questions without laughing! Since my session with Laura I have referred many people to her. I would say if you are struggling with an issue and have tried all the traditional solutions, you should at least have a consultation with Laura.

Prior to working together there was communication difficulties with my teenage daughters. I had, no hesitation on my decision to work with Laura. I’ve seen improvements to my daughter’s behavior and there has been more communication She is easy to get along , assertive, resolves issue quickly and follows through.

I was looking for improved confidence in my business and personal life; business around sales, call reluctance and personally around sexuality. I was hesitant because I’d worked with another hypnotherapist with minimal results and a decent investment of time and money. I like that Laura is a Sex Coach. That helped seal the deal with me and to be willing to try with her. I am happy because I am in action and communication in the areas I wanted improvement and I check in with Laura often to continue the improvements. Working with Laura is like working with a close friend. I feel comfortable speaking with her and sharing personal information of a sensitive nature. I never felt judged or anything negative with her. If you’re thinking about working with her, give her a try for one session and see how it goes! I promise you’ll feel comfortable and will experience improvements in your life.

I was frozen with anxiety. I knew that Laura treated patients with hypnotherapy but I was skeptical. After speaking with her about it I decided to give it a try. (It couldn’t hurt, right?) I’m certainly glad I did. Her professionalism and abilities are great. While my anxiety is not completely gone, there was a noticeable improvement from the very first session with her. Her manner is calming and I felt at ease from the start. The hypnotism session was effortless for me. I really enjoyed working with Primitive Balance. She has a rich, diverse background and it shows in conversation. Very smart woman. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura to a friend or family member who was looking to make improvements in their life.

I was definitely hesitant to call someone for coaching because it wasn’t something I’ve ever done before. I came across Laura’s contact info and after a consultation I knew it was meant for me to find her. I was having issues with confidence, specifically when it came to the opposite sex. I can’t thank Laura enough, she helped me gain my confidence back and so much more. She is well rounded in so many different aspects of life. She is exactly what someone would need to heal your mind, body and soul. I am truly a better person/man because of her.

I was in a time where I could use some guidance from an expert. The hesitations I had were telling another person about what I was dealing with and Laura gives you confidence. Laura helped me overcome this with coaching and tools. She assigns plenty of tasks and holds you accountable to create the change. I have seen a concrete change or improvement in having more confidence and personal power since I have worked with Laura. I would describe working with her as challenging and fun because many new beneficial things come up each session. If you want success she is a wonderful guide. She builds rapport and pushes you so you feel so empowered and we all have that within us.
