Alchemy is the process of changing lead into gold. The Life Harmony program designed by Laurie Buchanan is about Inner Alchemy— personal transformation to your highest best.
Life Harmony
In addition to energy-based therapies, Laurie Buchanan also offers Life Harmony, a 9-month program she designed to teach the discipline of getting on track and staying there. Working with the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—it facilitates inner alchemy (personal transformation) and empowerment, helping clients turn intention into action; getting them from where they are, to where they want to be.
Homework is assigned at the end of each session, and there’s at least one accountability contact each week between monthly sessions.
For distant clients, phone and Skype sessions are available.
Taking Inventory Are you willing to invest in yourself? Are you willing to become stronger than your history? Are you willing to forgive yourself? Are you willing to forgive others? Are you willing to stop being held hostage by the opinion of others? Are you willing to be motivated by trust instead of fear? Are you willing to let go of anger? Are you willing to let go of your need to control? Are you willing to know the truth? Are you willing to be transformed? Are you willing to operate from a place of authenticity? Are you willing to live an inspired life?
The Life Harmony Experience If you answered “Yes” to each of these questions, then you're ready to experience the Life Harmony program.A 9-month discipline devoted to exploring what's inside each suitcase that you've acquired along life’s journey; acknowledging it and the life lesson that it's taught you; then releasing it to move forward lighter and freer.
Laurie's role during this journey? I will not walk in front of you. I will not walk behind you. I will not carry you.
I will, however, walk beside you.
Laurie incorporates the ancient practice of Satsang—Sacred Listening—during each Life Harmony session.
Life Baggage It is estimated that more than 90% of health problems that bring people into the doctor’s office are stress related. Stress is but one of the contents found in the “baggage” that most people accumulate as they travel through life.
The 9-month Life Harmony program identifies baggage that we often carry on life’s journey and shares important truths about whole, unencumbered health—body, mind and spirit. It provides practical suggestions and methods of application that help people get on track and stay on track; no luggage required.
A close examination of this baggage frequently reveals contents that include other debilitating items such as anger, resentment, non-forgiveness, pessimism, fear and other triggers that can cause unhealthy behavior and ill health. If you’re reading this web page, you’ve probably come to the realization that you’re tired of carrying around so much excess baggage and you’re looking for a healthy way to offload it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost? The cost of each 90 minute session is $112.50 ($75/hour).
Each session is approximately 90-minutes in length. In my experience some clients have additional questions or simply need more time. I will accommodate, time permitting. However, to be fair to the next client, the session may need to end at the scheduled time. If you would like to schedule an add-on mini session, that can be done in advance.

What People Are Saying I have learned to let go and to not be afraid.
I think Life Harmony is a way of being—not just a program to study for the time we’re in study, but to allow it to become a practice, like deep breathing, like meditation, like recovery; it’s a way of life—a way of life practice.
I consider the Life Harmony program to be one of the best choices I've ever made for myself; it's brought all of the aspects of myself into harmony and joy.
I entered this nine session not really sure if I could continue financially, or if it was going to be worthwhile and help me after a long three year depression after my Dad passed away. Boy was I wrong! The wisdom flowed every month and I developed a keen awareness of what I have been missing for a very long time; the ability to be present in the moment without worrying about the past or the future. What a true gift to myself and my relationships with mind, body and spirit.
I now have a user-friendly website.
