As of April 1 2026, I am no longer registered as a psychologist in British Columbia and I do not provide psychological services. I am a spiritual, personal, and executive coach. Coaching does not include psychological diagnosis, assessment, or treatment, and is not a substitute for regulated mental health care. Individuals seeking psychological services can consult the BCPA directory, as that is the professional directory for licensed psychologists. Currently, I am taking a few month hiatus as I transition into my new role as a coach and hypnotist. I will update this website once that hiatus is complete.
Executive Coaching
In business, as in other domains, when people feel stressed or irritable it affects their bottom line. Difficult personal relationships can impact money flow, attitudes, and behaviour towards both employees and clients.
This unique combination of coaching with hypnosis helps clarify direction and assists business owners to connect to their core values and personal power. Contrary to popular belief, self-love is different from arrogance. The more people love and appreciate themselves, the more successful they become, and the easier it is for them to treat others with respect. Without self-love, it is difficult to function optimally. Lorraine assists people in discovering who they truly are, letting go their limiting beliefs about success, money and life, and expressing that change through empowered, practical action.
How does all this relate to Executive Coaching?
Typically, a client will come to Lorraine with a challenging business situation. Perhaps the company isn’t growing quickly enough or profits are not adequate, and yet the business owner seems to have taken many of the right steps: market analysis, promotion, advertising and networking. The lack of forward momentum may in this case be connected to a subconscious block or belief system, something many people do not consider as having an impact on the bottom line.
Hypnosis can be very useful in releasing these blocks, addressing the root issues or stories behind “What do you believe about money?”, “What did your family believe about money?” and “What were you taught about success or self employment?” Did you hear that “money doesn’t grow on trees?” Were your parents cautious about money, or conversely, did they spend to such a degree as to incur a great deal of debt?
Success comes about more readily when one can release old, limiting beliefs and attitudes. This leaves more space available in the subconscious, making it easier to program the mind for positive change. Once the weeds of doubt have been removed from the fertile garden of the mind, there is plenty of room to plant positive self-talk, and watch it flourish.
Personal conflict can have business repercussions. When one is unhappy at home, that conflict has a way of showing up at the workplace. Learning effective stress management techniques and establishing clear, respectful styles of communication can create marked improvement in the work environment.
With the combination of hypnosis and success coaching, you can connect with your inner wisdom and then receive the support you need to tangibly incorporate these positive changes into your company and management style.
Seminars can be tailored to fit your company's needs.

Positive Attitudes Equals Positive Results
