From a very early age, Lauri realized that she was different from other people. She vividly remembers when she was four years old repeatedly "seeing" a man in the hallway of her house. Of course, no one else did. Lauri had an uncanny knack for knowing things that were to happen before they did especially when it had to do with death.

Lauri also has the intuition to "read people". "I can see right through a person. People show you who they want you to believe they are. But I see them for who they really are. This ability has helped me so much in my personal life and with my professional career."

It wasn't until Lauri moved to the Lehigh Valley that she met people with the same abilities who validated her gifts. From this point she studied what it meant to be clairvoyant, clairsentient and clairaudient and the responsibility that went with these gifts.
