Recent Reviews; 
"This is a wonderful book. In it, Annie B. Lawrence describes her own relationships and gives examples from her own practice of various situations she has encountered with her clients.
What I enjoyed about this book is 1) true life examples; 2) questions one may ask of oneself to get deeper into situations 3) envisioning and 4) EFT exercises you can do yourself to assist in bringing your love into reality.
In this book, there is no blame. It's about finding out where you are and how to get where you want to be.
Easy to read; easy to understand. If you need a coach, Annie is available AND, I'd suggest you check out her beautiful location in Sedona Arizona."- Revvell Ravati
Love's Secret Interview
"Annie B. Lawrence is obviously a great teacher. Her book contains everything you need to let go of the old and prepare yourself to bring new love into your life. Love's Secret is filled with exercises and examples that make everything clear and simple yet life changing. I feel so much love in my life after reading and experiencing her book." -Gay Lynn Fry
"I think it's just human nature that we all want to be loved. We all hope that we'll meet that handsome prince or beautiful princess. We'll fall madly in love and live happily ever after. Somehow we expect that this person will magically break through all our barriers, clear out all our relationship baggage, and love us exactly the way we need to be loved. Then, we wonder why reality doesn't match our fantasies.
The truth is that no one can live up to these expectations and the problem isn't your significant other. The real underlying issue of all relationship problems lies within yourself. Thus, in order to enjoy an open, honest, passionate, and loving relationship, you have to take a good look at yourself first. Not only do you have to learn to love yourself but you have to understand what underlying beliefs that are undermining your potential happiness.
Love's Secret presents a variety of techniques that the reader can use to examine the real cause of unhappiness including journaling and visualization. The author also makes use of what she calls Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)." -Dr. Tami Brady
"In Love's Secret, Lawrence discusses a process called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). "EFT is an effective tool to clear away emotional patterns and beliefs in the emotional body and energy meridians in your physical body." It includes tapping areas of the body that "correlate to energy meridians" and using affirmations of self acceptance, love and forgiveness. The author extends resources for readers wanting to learn more.
As she continues through each secret, she shares her own personal experiences, as well as the experiences of clients who benefitted from the 12 secrets. The author writes of healing, which is basically the spiritual journey of life. We are here to face our core issues, love, and heal. First, however, we must clear our belief system. "Preprogrammed beliefs and patterns passed on to you through your environment and families are your life lessons." We must take time for inner reflection and find what is true for us. What patterns exist? It is a path for the brave of heart to seek out a healing of spirit. Lawrence recommends journaling so that we become more aware of our moods, thoughts, and habits that can sabotage our greatest intentions. Her questions posted after each secret are quite helpful to gain a better understanding of where we are and where we want to be.
Love's Secret goes on to share valuable wisdom through the remaining secrets addressed. This wisdom can change a life and it can change the world as we see it. True change begins within and cannot help but transform the world. Annie Lawrence is a healer of relationships and injured spirits. This is truly her contribution of guidance. She urges her readers to look beyond the surface of daily living into the spiritual aspects of healing the pain that can control the lives we've created. We can reach beyond the pain, from a healed heart, into the passion of divine possibilities. Love's Secret is for the couple and the spirit seeking more love and greater peace. It is a significant source of comfort and counsel." -Angela Hutchinson
"The secret to life-long love is not a secret to those who read the wise words of Annie B Lawrence. Her clear and simple wisdom and stories offers easy to apply tools empower to create the love you want." -Susun Weed, Author New Menopausal Years The Wise Woman Way
"Make your dream relationship a reality. Follow Annie's love vision to live your life in love with the love of your life." -Dr. Don Engelhardt, Author Inside the Atom
"Love's Secret taught me to love again. After losing my husband in Afghanistan I was lost in grief. Annie and her book helped release the overwhelming grief and learn to love again. - Roberta Stewart
Retreat and Heal,
We have been together for seven years and when we first visited Retreat and Heal felt very stuck in our old habits and emotions. We had tried traditional counseling and were still stuck. After our sessions at Retreat and Heal we were able to feel our heart connection again. We could never seem to find our core issues before.
Thank you so much. I feel hope again and have renewed my commitment to my own healing and to our relationship and I am so grateful. We felt guided to you and Sedona. I am very happy that we made the investment and that we have begun our work.
Our hearts are open again and our love is alive and strengthened. Love's Secret is a great tool to take away and keep us focued on love.
Thanks, Audra and Marty, Az
