I can safely say that Lorraine saved my life. Over the eight years I worked with her (from mid-2018 to early 2026), she guided me through a difficult but rewarding metamorphosis. When we began, I was merely surviving: trapped in an abusive relationship, addicted to cigarettes and fortune telling, burdened by learned helplessness and childhood trauma, obese, and in constant emotional pain. I was isolating myself, stuck in a career I disliked, and constantly prioritized the opinions of others over my own. Today, I am a changed person. I am proactive, conscientious, secure, free of addictions, and currently building a new career. I have become more social, made peace with my family, experienced safe and meaningful romantic relationships, and regained a sense of optimism and purpose. While I am not athletic, I have improved my health and my ability to trust my own gut in all aspects of my life.
Lorraine’s method is unique and goes far beyond traditional talk therapy. It's intense and rewarding. Each session is carefully structured: an introductory conversation that serves as a safe outlet for revealing thought patterns and wounds; hypnosis to access the subconscious where the most lasting work occurs; and a closing conversation to summarize discoveries and provide future guidance. The appointments last three to five hours, allowing for deep, transformative work. The changes are profound and take time to manifest. There is no need for frequent, regular meetings. During stable periods we would meet two or three times a year; during crises five to seven times a year. The results often felt almost magical, with significant behavioural shifts occurring just weeks after each session. We started with in-person meetings. Later, due to geographic constraints, we moved on to voice calls over the Internet. In my experience, both methods were equally effective.
Towards the end of our work I identified a few remaining issues that seemed to stick. In an attempt to proceed, I turned to psychedelics, specifically Ayahuasca. Because of the rigorous groundwork Lorraine and I had done together, my psychedelic experiences were significantly smoother than those of my retreat peers. Lorraine continued to support me during the integration process. Her work provided the emotional scaffolding necessary for me to navigate those deep waters safely. The Ayahuasca experience completed the healing process we had carefully navigated all this time. If I could go back to 2018, I would trust her with my future again without hesitation.
