Laurie, I write to thank you for your excellent presentation Friday morning at AHS22 [Ancestral Health Symposium '22]. I overheard various people exclaiming about how valuable it was, and yesterday I received an e-mail from a therapist friend who said: ‘I have already quoted Laurie A. Couture to a few clients, and will be ordering her books. Her presentation alone was worth the price of admission for me.’ Thank you so much for participating and helping to make this year’s symposium a success.”

The wisdom, insights, and practical observations held within Laurie’s research not only holds the key to greater impact, but they also hold the key to better understanding of the client/organization’s needs.  I highly recommend working with Laurie, not only for her professionalism and timely delivery, but her knowledge and compassionate care to detail.”
