Layne has been teaching spirituality, mostly incognito, for over thirty years. She offers spiritual readings and intuitive counseling by phone and in person, teaches meditation and practical spiritual tools, inspires realization of one's true spiritual identity, offers gentle, loving assistance in deepening awareness of Living Presence and in assisting and inspiring people to live fully their precious lives.
Layne began her regular meditation practices in 1970 while living in Vancouver, BC. Her teachers include Ram Dass, Tibetan Buddhist lamas, Hilda Charlton, Sathya Sai Baba, Neem Karoli Baba, Babaji, Nithyananda, Yogananda, Gangaji, and others. Some of her guidance and inspiration occurs with teachers and guides on inner planes.
In 1972 she “died†and dissolved fully into light and energy and then returned to her physical body. Months later in 1972 she traveled to India. In early 1974 she relived her birth and pre-birth state.
In 1980 she was introduced to Rebirthing, which she calls “Integrated Spiritual Breathwork,†underwent training intensives, and became a resident breath worker and teacher at the Santa Rosa Rebirthing Center.
Layne is certified in hypnotherapy, trained by Joseph Simons, Ph.D., and is a Reiki Master, trained by Joy Metcalfe of the Dr. Usui lineage. She has studied spiritual, humanistic astrology since 1971, and finds this a valuable asset in her work with others. Layne offers Spiritual Astrology readings by phone and in person, and the readings may include synastry readings and relocation astrology.
She is currently writing several books on spirituality, meditation, and her inner journey and experiences.
Layne is also a publishing poet and a songwriter. Her poetry has been published in many journals and anthologies. Two of her poetry books are soon to be published: Last Vist and Into the Dark Mountain.
Layne performed her music for many years in the north San Francisco Bay Area. She also spent many years studying and teaching post-modern improvisational dance and yoga in Vancouver, BC, New York City, Boulder, CO, and different areas of North California.
