"Victor Hugo once said, "Inspiration and genius--one and the same." Laurie Martin's book is shear inspiration, passion, and pure genius. Her words, applied generously, can bring not only a smile to your heart, but can enlighten your world."
Synolve Craft, Editor-In-Chief & Publisher, The Infinite Field Magazine
December, 2009
“In this age of myriad and often complex transformational and therapeutic approaches to healing, Laurie Martin gently leads us by the hand to the heart of all healing matters, reminding us that living with love presence is the simplest and ultimate way forward on the path to wholeness. In her warmly embracing book, Laurie shows how focusing on the development of our connection with our heart will naturally bring the wellness and joy in living we seek, and with the greatest of ease. No matter what our self-improvement quest may be, Smile Across Your Heart offers both a good place to begin and lifelong guidepost along our path.”
David Klein, Ph.D., H.D., author of The Art of Rejuvenation and Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's, and editor of Vibrance magazine.

Divine Intervention! July 17, 2007
This book truly came at the right time in my life to remind me of these amazing universal truths! Laurie did a beautiful job of pulling all of these principles together in a way that I could immediately apply them into my life. I think we are all moving so fast and furious these days and the biggest thing I learned from this book is to not attach myself to the outcome of situations - that is one of my lessons that I am learning. So thank you Laurie Martin for your sharing your time, experience and love....

Laurie, you have helped me in so many ways, I think your writings and inspiration are so uplifting and helpful, especially on the days when the cobwebs take over your every thought, so many times I have read your newsletters in email and it has been exactly what I needed to hear, you are channeled from God, I know you are an angel, and I wanted you to know. Thank you! and God Bless You for all you do to make this world a better, happier, place.

Sets you on the path to transformation, March 14, 2008
This is such a great read. It really helped me to reevaluate my life and experiences. It gives you simple tools to start to create new healthy healing patterns. I absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone.

Smile across your heart puts a smile in your heart, August 8, 2007
A great book. Easy to read and understand, it is a bible for those of us who suffer from self-doubt and have fallen victim to self-deceit and dishonor. Ms Martin is encouraging and uplifting, but gives real ideas and solutions to release the imprisonment of self-doubt. I highly recommend it.

Simple Instructions to Better your Life! July 27, 2007
Laurie Martin in Smile Across Your Heart -- The Process of Building Self Love provides clear guidance and meditation for connecting with yourself and enhancing the experience of everyday life. As a person who has had many difficult relationships throughout my lifetime, I find Martin's words to provide new ways of dealing with that difficulty and moving forward to a better understanding of who I am as an individual and how we are all intertwined by the emotional relationships present in all our lives. The exercises provided in the book are simple and effective, I felt the inner child exercise to be eye opening toward the baggage I carry with me still to this day; and with patience and practice I know I will continue to grow spiritually throughout my life.
M. Moegelin
"I finally started your book Smile Across Your Heart, and I am enjoying it immensely!
Some of the things you say feel like you are speaking directly to
me.....things I've know but have forgotten or stopped practicing.
I appreciate your guidance both through coaching and your
book. I would like to order 10 copies of "Smile Across Your Heart" to
give to family and friends who I know will appreciate and enjoy
it."
Carol Moegelin
"This book has a pulse. There is a rhythm to the construction of insights and
activities and to the coach�s voice. Repetition is part of the book and the program,
reinforcing key concepts, enhancing the possibilities for changes in outlook and behavior.
One can�t help but want to follow her lead."
Naples Sun Times Review: August, 2007 writer: Mr. Phil Jason
"I was really uplifted when I read your book. You are truly an inspiration."
Carroll Johnson, Librarian
"My boss Sandi handed your Smile Across Your Heart book to us as a present. I haven't put it down since. It's my companion on the metro and anytime I have a minute to breathe. I've read through it once and am reading it over again. Your book has given me really accessible tools to change my life. I want to schedule a life coaching consultation with you."
Ugonma, Yoga Teacher

"After many years of self discovery, my wife and I came across Laurie Martin and decided to take her telephone class "Manifesting Skills".
Laurie brought together many enlightening concepts in a relaxing way touching on universal truths that we seem to forget during our busy days. The professional, yet gentle way she delivers these messages reminds us that we are spiritual beings that have the ability to manifest our future by living in the moment. Her methods are easy to keep in mind and with some practice I'm sure our future will be much brighter.
We look forward to more classes."

Your workshop was a lot more personal than others. You were not preaching that you knew all the answers, nor were you trying to sell us on anything, including your services. I admire you and aspire to help others in the future just as you have helped us."

"Laurie - I like your newsletter and have been grateful for it for the past few years. Unconditional love has been your baseline for your work and you "practice what you preach" ....and that's awesome....thanks again!"
Linda Underwood, 6/09
"Thank you Laurie. Today was the perfect day to receive your June newsletter. Having read what you had to say, I am now aware of changes I can make that will release emotions as opposed to only trying to focus on the good. It is great to focus on the good, but I sometimes would wonder why I still wasn't fully happy. It is because I never let myself feel my original emotions.
You've got a wonderful gift Laurie."
Katie Standage, 5/08
"Thank you so much for this past newsletter. It gave me clarity- I have a tendency to be a pushover sometimes- not really use discernment and get that 'stuck' unsure feeling in moments but the whole rating 1-10 thing, I LOVE IT! Sounds silly but little mental techniques like that make a huge difference. I'm gonna print this one out and keep it on my alter!
Many thanks!"
Tara Kimes, 3/27/07
"Laurie, after reading your September newsletter, I did one of the Joy Exercises, I smiled at a slow driver instead of being angry and it felt great!; I love your newsletters".
David

"Thanks so much for producing the "Smile Across Your Heart" newsletter...I truly enjoy reading it and practicing what you suggest."
T. Fowler
"Your newsletters have always touched me! I was amazed because it felt like you were writing directly to me when you wrote this newsletter. Your newsletters help me look at things differently; I do miss talking to you and doing yoga with you. Thank you for all the different ways you have helped me look at life. You are a great inspiration!"
F. Spataro
"After listening to Laurie speak and reading her newsletter for a few months, I then decided to sign up for a few coaching sessions. Laurie helped me to understand why specific personal roadblocks were in my way (for decades) and how I could overcome them. I literally felt as if I "lost weight", so to speak. I was able to let go of some relationships that were no longer fulfilling and to focus on relationships that truly benefited me and the person whom I've longed to become. I was also able to finally realize my life's true goals and felt as if she helped me "clear the path" toward attaining them. Thank goodness for such a discovery of Laurie!"
Denise Phillips, Coaching Client, 12/09
"Thanks to Laurie's coaching, guidance and her book, she has helped my relationship with my girlfriend work out much better; I am more focused at work, and my business is improving even through this bad economy. She helped me get out of a depression and have a much better attitude! I wish I knew of Laurie sooner! Thank you Laurie!"
"
Fred Hill, Coaching Client, 4/09
"Thank you so much for your coaching yesterday! I have a much better perspective - and I am more positive about my future....I will be working on the balance act....!!"

Darlene Kenworthy, Coaching Client, 5/06
"I wanted to call you and thank you for helping me so much last week in my coaching session. I was telling my buddy in CA how you pointed out the obvious to me and that you were so able to pick up on everything so quickly. You are really good at what you do!"
Joseph Hecht, Coaching Client, 5/08
"Laurie Martin is a wonderful, intuitive and centered coach who provided me with the space and the tools to help me refocus my life. Her compassion, wisdom, listening and visioning skills were exactly what I needed. I am grateful to regard her as a friend...I brag about her all the time and what she has taught me..."
Rick Anderson, Coaching Client
"When I started working with Laurie I was searching for life answers outside myself. Laurie taught me how to go inside, and to feel that I am enveloped by divine support. She helped me to love myself unconditionally. Applying her techniques to my daily routine has given me serenity and peace of mind."
Dana Ryken, Coaching Client
"Laurie you truly are a beautiful person on the inside. I enjoyed our life coaching sessions thoroughly and am now able to face my job with a newly revived outlook which I desperately needed. Thank you for being such an inspirational person."
Darlene Kenworthy, Coaching Client, 5/06
"Coaching sessions has helped me take time to plan ways to incorporate lifestyle changes. I felt the benefits of coaching sessions daily by having a variety of excercises to work on throughout the week. I have learned a lot about patience and consistency. I will definatly be contacting you for more coaching."
K. Carlson
"I did ten private yoga sessions with Laurie and I have never felt this good as an adult. I'm over sixty years old and for the first time my body is doing things I haven't done since my thirties. Yoga with Laurie changed my life. I'm now a regular student."
Nancy Wiadro, 2006
"Dear Laurie! I am in your class Saturdays morning at the A.C.N and your Yoga classes are AWESOME!!!! I am sorry I had to miss your class this Saturday, but I hope I can make it next Saturday. Thanks for being such a GREAT teacher."
Ivanna, 3/2007
"I started attending yoga classes about 18 months ago on the advice of my doctor. I had injured some ligaments in my shoulder and the doctor felt that some gentle stretching would help me to gain back the flexibility in my arm and shoulder. After 18 months of yoga, under Laurie's guidance, I have a full range of motion with my arm. I also have had the priviledge of studying meditation with Laurie for the past 16 weeks. Laurie's sense of humor and her knowledge of yoga and meditation make her an excellent instructor."
