Sarah T.

I have known Lainie as mentor and spiritual guide over many years, and have come to appreciate her innate wisdom to guide with gentleness and strength; clarity and calm. Lainie balances the ends of the spectrum so well. I describe Lainie as an expert guide because she never “tells” one what to do, but directs toward discovering the answer. This is an extremely empowering model of spiritual and mental health care!
—Sarah Plummer Taylor, Author & Speaker

Mark M

For those that want to go deeper and further into the fullness of life that’s available, canned advice, best practices, and self-help just won’t cut it. Meaning By Design isn’t about fixing you, it’s about ushering you into an awakening where your ability to hear and experience God is sharpened and invigorated. Lainie expertly guides those she walks with into clarity—living from strong principles and moving forward with vivid direction.
—Mark McComas, Lead Consultant, GridWell
