about me

Hi everybody!

My name is Isabelle and I am French. I'm married to Philippe and have two children. Let me tell you how everything started!

After quite a disappointing battle as an English teacher in the South of France, my husband and I bought a quaint little farmhouse in Normandy, which just happened to have a mind of its own.

The traumatizing experience that followed set in motion a series of self-realizations and led me to make a number of profound life changes.

It was at this moment that I wrote an account of our experience in our haunted house and that I began to delve in to the world of esoterism and energies. That first novel - or should I say "testimony" - was published in French in 2003 and translated as "The House of My Dreams" by my friend Andy.

I am passionate about the energies that surround us and the importance of our senses. And ever since that life-altering experience in Normandy, I have continued to counsel groups and individuals on learning to live with, as well as transforming those energies so as to make their lives better. The knowledge that I have gained over the past decade has taught me much about understanding life and self-help.

Thus, via another of my passions – writing - I have attempted to combine this love for imparting the lessons learned from my experiences with a medium that – at least I should hope! – might inspire others to look at their lives from a slightly different angle. Perhaps my readers will be able to relieve themselves of the cumbersome remnants of a weighty past – like me; or, perhaps they will gain a new perspective concerning their surroundings. Indeed, not everything is as it would seem.

Also, in addition to writing about living spaces and energies in the home, I have also gained similar insight regarding the people in our lives. Invisible chains that bind us to our families, friends – and maybe even strangers – can hold us back our entire lives. And, believe it or not, our lives are much more fulfilling once these heavy chains are lifted and we are freed from shouldering the unseen burdens of our past.

In other words, I'm not shy about what I do - and you shouldn't be, either! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. Also, please let me know what you think about my writing (style, imperfections, unclear passages, etc). That way, you might be able to better understand the messages I’m trying to get across. Thanks in advance!

I hope to talk to you soon!

Hey Mom, What's the Matter wit....

Isabelle Laur

Do you think you can't choose your parents?

You will change your mind!

There is a terrible secret tying us to our families.


A contract binds us to our parents. Their lives and ours are connected together by invisible ties which stretch far beyond our terrestrial lives. In fact, they are the origin of the relationships we maintain with our families down here on Earth. As complicated as these relationships may be, the contract - which has been connecting us to our parents since even before we were born – has but one objective: to allow us to evolve.

This is the secret that Clara is going to discover. She will begin to understand the subconscious reasons that pushed her mother to act so harshly toward her, thus finally creating the relationship she had always dreamed of.

This novel was written to allow those whose trying relationships with their families prevent them from evolving on their own, to understand these relationships on a much larger plane than they are used to. This novels intends to take readers beyond this life, by transcending our human dimension. Finally, Hey Mom, What’s the matter with me? was written to allow readers to come to understand that, despite the harshness with which certain people treat us, in reality, it is ultimately Love that guides them.





 

The Promise

Isabelle Laur

Have you ever met someone who looked familiar to you, even though you have never seen them before?

Are you sure you don't know them?


The Promise recounts two stories that appear to have nothing in common. The first is set in the eighteenth century, and the second toward the end of the twentieth century.

In one of the tales, a couple madly in love is about to get married when tragedy ensues, thus abruptly and brutally putting an end to their love story before the main characters were able to experience it fully. They make a promise to find each other again and to begin their romance where they left off.

In the other tale, two young teenagers fall in love at first sight. They have never seen each other before, and yet they seem to know all there is to know about each other. Their impossible love story will send them down different paths.

As different as these two stories may be, something ties them together: a promise…

This novel was written for those who are hunting for an explanation for the puzzling and disturbing sensation of recognizing a stranger on the street or at the market. It was also written for those who would like to understand why their relationships with others are so often complicated or appear even hopeless.

 

The House of my Dreams

Isabelle Laur

You don't believe in ghosts ?

You're going to change your mind.

My house destroyed my life.

"Our houses are alive."


I had a stable job as an English teacher and married life didn't appear too complicated. My life was simple and uneventful, that is, until the day everything took a dramatic turn for the worse.

April 8th, 1997: I purchased the house of my dreams.

April 10th, 1997: Philippe, my husband, lost his job.

April 13th, 1997: We were involved in a serious car accident.

June 1997: I was weakened by major health problems due to the accident.

September 1997: A deep clinical depression set in…

This is just the start of a list that ended only when I had sold my house. Quickly, I began to reflect about the influences that my home might have had on my life. Meanwhile, I spent two long years living in a permanent nightmare before I became able to accept the unacceptable. After that, it took time to gain the capacity to understand what was happening to me, then to confront and free myself from that which was hiding in my house.

The story I tell reads like a novel. It contains a formidable message of hope for all those whose lives aren't going quite as planned and who dont understand why not.
