Access Your Authentic Self™
Home Page
I spent a great portion of my life doing things I thought other people wanted me to do and being someone I thought other people needed me to be. At around age thirty I realized I had been doing this despite the fact that no one else even wanted, needed or expected me to be this person I had created anymore. I left my semi-secure 75K a year job with benefits that I hated going to each day and set out to find my path. I embarked on a journey towards my Authentic Life and my Authentic Self. Along the way I felt drawn to a seemingly disparate set of things that made no sense to me – until recently …
I’ve discovered that four careers that I have always been drawn to (Life Coaching, Fitzmaurice Voicework®, Acting Coaching and Massage Therapy) are all linked to my path. Each of these four “jobs” allows me to help others find their Authentic Selves and their Authentic Lives at the same time as I am drawn closer to mine in the practice of them. Words cannot describe the joy and passion for life I experience every day as a result of being on my path and helping others to find theirs. If you are interested in finding more fulfillment in your own life, whether it involve subtle shifts or major changes, contact me for information or browse the rest of the website – or both.

Testimonials
"Lauri truly acknowledges the person in front of her and, because of this, she is unusually sensitive and perceptive. She will see you even when you do not."
-Ara Glenn-Johanson, Berkeley, CA
"One of the gifts Lauri bestowed me with, during the course of my acting lessons with her, was the gift of belief. She believed the fire in my eyes and encouraged me to pursue it. If you keep your eyes, ears and mind open, because of her professional and emotional investment in everything that she does, you can guarantee to see improvement within yourself sooner than you expect."
