Innovator of the LAIR™ Protocol
Known for her warm bedside manner, Dr Walker brings the LAIR™ Protocol to SOVRAN Solutions. The LAIR™ Protocol is the culmination of years of working with patients facing a wide range of mental health challenges in her holistic primary care practice. It is infused with insights from a lifetime of observations, formal education in mental health, her relentless pursuit of better outcomes, and unique learning experiences in the east with master teachers in the ancient wisdom of Siddahveda.
During the COVID pandemic, Dr. Walker decided to focus on creating a tool that resolves the root of emotional imbalances, is accessible anywhere, and can be applied broadly to help as many people as possible.
The fundamental principles built into the LAIR™ Protocol include:
- a practitioner focus on balancing their nervous system as a resource for helping others navigate the process
- enhancing neuroplasticity and recalibration in the parts of the brain impacted by stress and trauma
- addressing relationship wounds with one's self as well as others while building resilience and empowerment
- achieving rapid and durable functional results
She has touched countless lives, guiding people with anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, autism level 1, cultural and religious stress, and deep emotional imbalance to breakthroughs they once believed were impossible. Many come to her after years of disappointment, having tried every conventional path without relief. One client with schizophrenia quickly found freedom from voices. Another, debilitated by panic attacks and harsh self-judgment for over a decade despite medication and therapy, discovered lasting peace and empowerment after just 4 months of the protocol. Even years later, these clients not only remain free from medication and therapy, but continue to thrive, empowered to realize dreams that were previously out of reach.
The LAIR™ Protocol is her magnum opus. This pioneering work is a significant breakthrough for the field, and publications are in the works. Through this work she hopes to leave a lasting impact on individuals, families, and the world.
