Laura Dessauer is the founder of the International Association of Therapists in Private Practice

Before I met Laura I knew I wanted to take my business to a higher, more effective level but I had no idea how. I dreamed of having more clients, more referrals and more systems to put in place. I was getting advice from anyone who could breath (!) and instead of having any sort of clear direction I found my self running around in circles, hitting the same dead ends over and over. I had no idea how to make the change that I dreamed of happen. I was SO frustrated and I was searching for help....
And then I found Laura. When I met Laura (on line of course!) I knew I found someone who could bring me to the next level. More importantly, during the first 5 minutes of our phone consultation I knew she had the tools, tips, systems and strategies I was endlessly searching for. During our first coaching call I felt energized, hopeful and excited at the changes she helped me realize that could take place. By only our 4th phone call I already became aware of deep shifts in my thinking that were positively influencing my relationship with my business, my clients and of course future clients.
When I look back at the normal anxiety I felt prior to signing on with Laura...I have to laugh. I now realize I was entering into a bigger place than I ever could have imagined. She has made this stage of growth fun, playful, meaningful, insightful, unforgettable and jam packed with easy to implement tips and strategies. It is hands down one of the best investments I have made in myself in a VERY long time and THE best investment I have made for my business to this day. Thank you Laura!

Laura, Thank you from this grateful individual; I am sure that you have received many notes of thanks. The telesummit has already been worth many times more than the Platinum early signup fee that I paid.
I am now busy into implementing changes and additions to my practice because of what I heard and what I found on several websites of presenters and others that I found during this intensively creative week. The event has been catalytic.
Thanks for your dynamic presence via the Internet. This is a deeply gratifying time to be a human being, we are activating rich potentials that are being unlocked through teachings such as yours.

In one 1/2 hour session on the telephone Creativity Queen helped me uncover serious deep-rooted problems that were blocking my potential. I feel I have a new lease on life. Yesterday morning I was as low as I have ever been, broke and depressed. Yesterday afternoon I had one of the best days at work ever. It felt fun, easy and I was getting results. Thank you Creativity Queen for your generous way of being with me. It wasn't easy talking about certain things, but you made me feel comfortable.

Laura created a safe, supportive space that allowed me to open up to the possibility of new experiences and ideas that I hadn't previously considered. Her unique perspective and gentle questioning was exactly what I needed to move forward toward true fulfillment in my professional life.
Thank you!
