Real Words from Real Clients.  

 

"Lora is a highly skilled story work coach. One of the best that I’ve worked with. She has the rare combination of a highly attuned presence, an exceptional ability to see the dynamics of a story, a deep commitment to listening to the body, and excessive kindness. Her pacing is just what I have needed during times of dysregulation and disruption. She excels at “being with” and witnessing your heartache and your heroics. Diving into this work is always a risk, and I highly recommend taking that risk with Lora."

- Adam Young, Instructor, Advisor and Facilitator with the Allender Center, Author of Your Story Makes Sense and Host of the podcast, The Place We Find Ourselves | Story Work and Executive  Business Coaching Client


"Working with Lora to build my coaching practice was both grounding and energizing. She has a rare gift for helping you navigate the intersection of your personal story and your business vision, which brought clarity and confidence to my work. Lora gently helped me recognize places where my own story was inhibiting me, and she supported me in moving through those internal barriers. Her blend of deep listening and practical strategy created real momentum. I’d absolutely recommend working with her—especially for anyone looking to grow their business in a way that stays true to who they are.

I love your energy and know that this mastermind will be super helpful!"
