Business & Life Coaching Reviews

“Laurie Martin does some amazing work with those who are in serious life transitions. She was one of the people who helped me see another path when almost no one else could. It changed the course of my life completely.”

Gail G. January 7, 2017
“Your coaching has really helped me through a challenging time.  I was a little lost and I needed a guardian angel. Your presence and voice is very calming too. You are a remarkable woman, bless you! I really appreciate your help. You are the real deal, I can see you on Oprah!”
Bob Heffernan
Coaching Client, April 2016

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

You truly are a beautiful soul and I appreciate everything I have learned from you, both in coaching and in Yoga. Thanks again for everything.

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….!!

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!

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!

Coaching Client

Laurie, you don’t realize how much you have helped me. I just had to learn the hard way but I’m so glad I left him. My life is the best its ever been! I love you and thank you and God for all you have done!

Laurie Martin is one of the most amazing and inspiring woman who ever touched my soul. She helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Not only did she guide me to find the strength and courage to fight, and to overcome my battle, but consistently lifted my spirits and gave me hope. To Laurie, I will forever be grateful.

Jane Doyle
Coaching Client

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

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

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 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…

Yoga Reviews

“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.”

Lori Froelich

“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 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

“I always look forward to Laurie’s yoga class and come out feeling refreshed, relaxed and an uplifted heart and spirit!”

Doreen Wilson, August 2015

“My name is Cathy Smith and I am 56 years old. I have enjoyed Laurie’s yoga classes for 4 years now. What I particularly like about Laurie’s class is her teaching and instructing manner. Everyone benefits from her class from a beginner student learning the poses to a more experienced student improving their practice. No need to worry about safety or any injuries you may have, Laurie explains the poses and the modifications for certain poses so that everyone can participate, learn and enjoy their practice wherever their level my be. Laurie is one of the people I can truly say I have enjoyed meeting in this lifetime. I look forward to safe and fun class every week! Thank you Laurie!”

Cathy Smith, September 2015

“This is the best DVD! I enjoy it very much! I do Laurie’s class on Saturdays also and just love her! One of the best! I highly recommend her DVD!!”

You are an AMAZING, SUPER, WONDERFUL BEING. A WOMAN FULL OF LOVE, LIGHT AND WISDOM! 
You have blessed my life! You helped me believe in my own abilities and overcome fears.
 God sent me to your class to understand that LOVE exists and begins in me. And, now, I get rid of my mask of perfection and can be a joyful, happy, free, lovely child. No worries, no limits, living and enjoying one day at the time. Embracing the unexpected.
Letting go of the past and giving myself unconditional love. Thank you Laurie for your articles, words, posts, energy, and classes!
