My name is John Gordon Lawrentz, though I’ve gone by both John and Johnny throughout my life. Either is welcome.
I’m a dad, granddad, brother, spouse, and partner—and, like everyone, much more than the labels used to describe me.
My path into this work has been shaped not only by formal education and training, but by my own experiences of change, struggle, exploration, and growth.
The LEMethod didn’t begin as a method. It grew gradually out of my own life, years of study, and a continuing search to better understand how people heal, change, and relate to themselves.
Some of that exploration began very early. At six years old, I spent two weeks in a coma—an experience that became part of a childhood and young adulthood shaped by difficult and sometimes traumatic experiences. Meditation and martial arts became part of my life in my early twenties and opened another way of understanding the mind, body, awareness, and our capacity for change.
In my forties, I returned to school, beginning with an associate degree in addictions counseling and later completing my bachelor’s degree around the age of fifty. My education continued through training in hypnotherapy, IFS-informed work, mindfulness, meditation, and psychedelic-related approaches.
Over time, these different threads began coming together. The LEMethod grew from that intersection of formal education, lived experience, contemplative practice, and experiential inner work. It isn’t a rigid formula. It continues to evolve, just as I do and as the people I work with do.
What matters most to me is not simply what I’ve studied, but how that knowledge can be used in service of the person in front of me.

I’m a dad, granddad, husband, brother, and someone who enjoys getting out into the world, staying curious, and occasionally getting a little wind in my face. I bring that same person into the work—human, imperfect, curious, and still learning.

If you’d like to explore whether working together feels like a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out.
