Join Holistic Nurse Coach Brittany Cano & Licensed Mental Health Therapist Lori Lauridsen for this Mind, Body, & Spirit Retreat along the majestic Lake Atitlan. Experience a life elevating mind, body, & spirit immersion. Release stress, anxiety, and stagnant energy. Recharge and rejuvenate. It takes courage to ask for help and I'm so glad you're here. 1 in 4 families struggle with addiction, at least 75% of all Doctor visits are stress related. When all you want is peace, support and maybe a little encouragement that things can get better, I am here.   Everyone has within them the capacity to heal themselves.  My job is to help you find your own strengths and to bring awareness, insight and tools that help you do just that. Your first step is stabilization and symptom relief or at least reduction. By creating safety, building relationship and learning tools to not only stay sober, but to stabilize emotionally so that you can do the work needed with as little discomfort as possible. I never realized how relaxing and calming yoga and essential oils can be.  It helps me to stay centered and in the present moment.  It helps to calm my cravings and not think about anything else except right now.  Thank you so much for teaching me this! Lori Lauridsen has been my therapist since 2016. Using a variety of successful techniques to facilitate my recovery from substance abuse, she has been crucial in my path to wellness.  Every session was tailored to my specific and current goals.  By combining cognitive, spiritual and physical approaches, Lori enabled me to finally gravitate toward and accept personal responsibility which in turn fostered healing. She clarified problems and worked through them with me,  using a tool box which to me, seemed to be an endless resource.  As a therapist there is no one other that I could recommend as highly. I highly recommend working with Lori Lauridsen.  She has this beautiful way of combining her expertise as a licensed mental health therapist who specializes in addiction, anxiety, and depression into a language and system that everyone can benefit from.  It's also awesome that she is able to incorporate yoga so you really receive this top notch mind, body, spirit experience!  I love working with her & love her character as well.  She also helped me co-facilitate a Wellness Retreat and she was awesome at that too!  Thanks Lori!  xoxo

My experience with Lori was amazing. I was able to release traumas and transmute to a beautiful human. The retreat was experiencial, mind blowing, and let’s talk about the yoga moments; they were a new way to release traumatic pain and feel liberated. I tried Acro Yoga and Lori was the instructor to trust the process.. I recommend LL Counseling and Wellness in the states and in countries you won’t even imagine meeting them in. Thank you for your energy and making me feel sacred in my own shell.
