Biography for Lauren Berman, CHt

Laur Berman, CHt, NLP, CHBE, and imagery visualization expert specializes in helping her clients achieve behavior modification and life fulfillment. She helps clients ages 4 and up achieve their personal, professional and spiritual intentions through hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming, imagery, and energy techniques.

Laur is a mix of both head thinking and heart feeling. Her analytical thinking side strives to understand all the research, best methods, and science-based answers for how and why alternative methods work for your mind and body. On the flip side, her intuitive heart-centered side guides her on what you need to make your sessions most effective.

She is passionate about helping her clients open their hearts, calm their minds, and connect to their intuition. Her professional experience includes keynotes, workshops, and seminars to inspire and educate others on the power of their mind and body. Topics include dreams, past life regression, manifestation, intuition, motivation, success, and power of the mind.

Laur’s intention is to empower her clients whether in private sessions or group classes to achieve their goals, release their fears, and move forward with purpose and inspiration.
