Frequently Asked Questions

  • Keep it simple (and free): visit my blog to read more about me and Singularly Sensitive. Then, register for a free Soundings Circle. These gatherings give you a sense of how people gather in the Singularly Sensitive community and what Lori is like as a group facilitator. Or send me an email so I can make a suggestion about the specifics of your circumstances.

  • Yes. I have extensive experience working with sensitive people who are also introverted, autistic, AuDHD, have ADHD/ADD, are gifted, and who are going through perimenopause/menopause. I invite you to contact me so that we can discuss your individual needs and preferences. If I’m not the best person to support your path, I’ll be honest with you and point you in some other directions.

  • Here are some of the values I hold and live by:

    I believe the world is worth fighting for and that the work of healing ourselves is inseparable from the work of healing it. Climate change is real and demands our urgent attention. We cannot love ourselves without loving our Earth and centering her needs.
    No one is illegal on stolen land.

    Love is love.

    Trans women are women, trans men are men, and all genders beyond the binary are valid and beautiful.

    I believe in mutual aid over extraction, economies of care over exploitation and competition, and collective liberation over individual advancement at others' expense.

    I am committed to dismantling in myself and in my work the harmful effects of white supremacy, patriarchy, and every system that diminishes human dignity.

     

    My work is rooted in these values, and so is the community I'm building. If these values resonate with you, I’m excited to welcome you to Singularly Sensitive. If not, I wish you well in finding the support you desire elsewhere.

  • You can reach me via the contact page or email. I generally respond within two business days, but please allow a week in case I am traveling or out of the office. I look forward to hearing from you! ~ Lori
