About Lorana

In My Thinking Chair

I always thought I was a headstrong person. It was part of my essence, one of the things that made me Lorana. But I found myself in a marriage where I watched that essence evaporate. It happened so slowly, I had no idea that I’d lost my identity until there was not much of me left. I gave up who I was to keep my marriage intact. I couldn’t even feel my own pain; I was too busy protecting my children from feeling the caustic darts their father threw at everyone and everything, trying to keep him calm and happy so he wouldn’t blow his cork. I felt like a mop following a pot foaming with acid, cleaning up after every spill so no one would be damaged by it. What I didn’t realize then was that this acid was eating me alive. After some eye-opening situations and assistance from several private counselors, I left my abusive marriage. I knew that if I was ever going to find myself again and feel joy in my life I needed to heal emotionally. I wanted to become strong so that I wouldn’t fall into that kind of relationship again. I began searching for answers. I continued counseling, read dozens of books, and went to many self-improvement seminars. As I did all of this I wrote what I discovered about myself and my emotional healing process. Here, at Reclaiming Your Light, I will share with you the things I learned on my healing journey.

Along my path I was introduced to a book called Remembering Wholeness. It contained the healing words I needed to hear. It became my goal to become WHOLE. The book talked about a form of healing called Rapid Eye Technology (RET). I am a Clinical Laboratory Scientist by profession so my university studies were all about the body systems and how they work. Because of my great interest in the way our bodies and minds work, the science of RET intrigued me. I was especially interested in brain neuroplasticity which is how the brain changes our behavior, environment, thinking, emotions and beliefs. RET applied this concept in a practical way. I began studying it. As part of my study I had a number of sessions done on me. It made so much difference in my life that I decided to become a Rapid Eye Technician. I love this healing modality and have been using it to resolve issues for myself, my family, and for friends and private clients since 2004. For more about RET and the science behind it, click here.

I did so much coaching during my RET sessions that I decided to become a Life Coach and am now certified in several methods including Intuitive Life Coaching and Coaching Clarity. I love fusing Life Coaching, RET and everything else I have learned on my journey and have found this combination effective in my life. That is why I have created a program specifically designed to guide family members affected by addiction on their healing journey. This program helps individuals determine where they are emotionally and facilitates healing so these individuals can find a sense of wholeness and experience greater joy and happiness in life.

I often refer to my relationship with Deity in my articles. I have a deep and abiding testimony of the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ. All healing depends upon us giving our pain to Christ, our Savior. God and Christ are an essential part of my life and this program.

On our journey you will inevitably learn more about yourself. You may also learn a bit about me. I want you to know that my family is my greatest passion! I have found nothing in the world that brings me as much joy as having my four adult children and grandchildren gathered around me. When they visit, you’ll often find me in my apron cooking as they all sit around the bar talking and laughing. There is nothing I enjoy more. I also have a large extended family. I am the oldest of 10 children, each with their own children and grandchildren. It’s a fun crowd when we all get together.

I also find great joy in my garden and home. I love spending time outside in the garden growing all sorts of flowers, fruits, and vegetables. I operate a Bed and Breakfast in my home; it has been fun to get to know people from around the world who are traveling in Idaho for further education or to see the natural wonders of our area; wonders like the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. These are some of the things that make me who I am.

Welcome to Reclaiming Your Light.  Here, I hope you find the information and support you need to begin healing.

Love, Lorana
