Hi! I am Laurie Ratto. I have been an integrative medicine practitioner for over a decade and an RN for over 40 years. My life's purpose is to help others and the planet to heal. My business has 2 branches: 1) Working with clients 1:1, I assist them in healing on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels so they can decrease pain and stress and experience more love, peace and joy in their lives. 2) As an instructor of healing touch and aromatherapy, I teach students techniques and skills so they can help family, friends and patients, as well as themself, to heal. This spreads the healing work exponentially.
I live in California in the Bay Area with my husband. We enjoy traveling and I love to people watch and experience other cultures.
I am a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner, Certified Clinical Aromatherapist and certified in guided imagery. I also mentor Healing Touch Apprentices on their journey to becoming certified practitioners. Every time I teach a class or mentor a student, I learn something. Teaching spreads the healing work across the globe which helps people as well as the planet to heal.

Let's begin imagining your 20...
Imagine 20 people you love to work with – they enjoy your style and skills just as you are now, without you needing to change or improve anything – and you enjoy them as well. Part of this work – as all work of "authentic business" – is to practice believing in the value of your skills and presence, and stepping more into your authentic service-oriented power. Those 20 people probably already in your life/network right now. Draw them forth by writing a heartfelt description of them... You're welcome to comment below as you tell us about them – anything you can tell us is great, their inner characteristics, outer (visible) demographics, their interests, and most importantly – why they like and trust you. And what they believe that you can support them with. No perfection needed here... just write what comes to you. You can always update it later – and likely will :) After writing your comment, turn around and comment on 2 others' descriptions, especially if you resonate or know someone who is exactly like that! :) Just because you reply to someone's comment doesn't mean that you'll get a spot as part of their 20 ;-) but later in this course, if there's still space, and it seems aligned for the time being, they might reach out to you with a gentle invitation to play :-)
My 20 people are women who have buried their heartsong under the wants and needs of others and who have a longing in their heart and either don't recognize their own song, or do, and are afraid to let it out. A heartsong is their unique gift they were born with. It's the authentic them that's hidden under habits and distractions that can dull their joy. When they discover and Release Your Heartsong, they can set themselves free to live an authentic life and follow their own path.

This was helpful and will prevent some tech frustration.
My 20 people have a desire to improve their physical, mental and emotional health in order to experience more peace, joy, love and improved physical health. Some care for others (healthcare professionals or caregivers of family/friends) and want to prevent burnout. They understand that good health and a thriving personal life are essential to being able to help others but they need some assistance in supporting themselves and getting that balance back. Others are searching for additional non-pharmaceutical methods/techniques to address their personal challenges. Many are feeling anxious, stressed, or have digestive issues, physical pain or sleeping disturbances. All of these people are open to learning new concepts and techniques, want to take an active role in their health and well-being and understand that physical, mental and emotional health are intertwined. They trust me because I have experienced physical and emotional pain that was resolved using integrative therapies. I have learned how to care for myself while caring for others, and to live a balanced, fulfilling life. I am caring, compassionate, and calm, and walk both conventional and integrative medicine worlds. I worked as an RN in conventional medicine for over 35 years, and I keep my license active. I have been an integrative therapy practitioner for over a decade, working with clients 1:1 and teaching various classes to empower people to help themselves and others. My passion is empowering people with tools to enhance mind, body, and spirit health so they can lead their best lives.
Thank you.
