Raven’s Call: A Journey of Synchronicity, Sound, and Soul Healing – An Interview Lori Lané

What if the signs in your life aren’t random at all?

Maybe you’ve felt it — repeating numbers, unexpected encounters, a moment that lingers longer than it should. Something subtle but persistent, nudging you to pay attention.

In this conversation, Lori Lané shares how one encounter with a raven shaped her path from sales and survival to healing and sound work in Sedona. Her story is about loss, resilience, and choosing light after walking through the dark.

If you’ve ever sensed that your life is quietly guiding you somewhere, you may find yourself in her story.

What do you sense is happening in our world right now with all that’s unfolding? What do you sense is going on?

Lori Lané: I’m actually excited about all the changes that are coming. I think we’ve been waiting a long time to see this shift in consciousness — to see people waking up. At the same time, it’s crazy times. It really is.

I don’t watch the news. I try not to get involved in a lot of that because I don’t want to take on negative energy. I prefer to stay out of it. But I do follow things through social media, and from what I see, it’s intense. These are definitely wild times we’re living in.

But you’re excited, you feel hopeful. The smile on your face seems like you’ve got a lot of hope.

Lori Lané: (laughs) Yes. I’m very hopeful about the changes that are coming — about what’s new. I really do feel good about it.

When you talk to fellow healers and intuitives in Sedona, what’s the general vibe among them? Is there a consensus, or does it depend on who you talk to?

Lori Lané: I think it’s pretty similar across the board. A lot of people are feeling good about the changes that are happening. We’re seeing a lot of things collapse — a lot of systems breaking down — and that’s necessary for us to move forward.

I see it as the dark coming into the light. Things that were hidden are being exposed. And that’s part of the process.

I want to hear about your own journey — awakening to consciousness, mindfulness, spirituality. Where did you grow up? Did you grow up with some sort of faith experience, or did that come later?

Lori Lané: I was born and raised in Santa Maria, California. My parents weren’t really religious, so I didn’t grow up with a strong religious background. They basically told me to find my own religion or spirituality.

So when I was about eleven, I started going to church with our neighbors — an older couple who would take me with them. That’s when I got my first Bible. It was a Methodist church, and I went there for a couple of years. I also went to Bible camp and started exploring different churches.

What I discovered with organized religion was that you had to follow their highway — their specific path, or you were out. And I didn’t like that. But I tried everything. Methodist, Baptist, Mormon. I had Catholic friends, so I went to catechism. I explored New Age churches, Foursquare — that’s actually where I learned to speak in tongues. I was baptized and gave my life to Jesus Christ. That was many years ago.

There were many experiences along the way. And, interestingly enough, I now speak light language, which feels very similar to speaking in tongues.

You know what’s so fascinating? When I moved from Kentucky to California, my family and I went to a Foursquare church, too. That’s actually where I started speaking in tongues — when I was eighteen.

Lori Lané: Yes, and it changed my life. It really did.

At that time, I was studying with one of my neighbors, and we were going to church constantly. But eventually, I started feeling like I always had to cast the devil out of myself. That’s what they teach you — it’s this way or the highway. And I reached a point where I thought, this is crazy. Something about this doesn’t feel right. It just didn’t add up to me anymore.

So I took a break, probably in my thirties and forties. I still explored spiritual things. I went to a psychic. I did everything the church says you’re not supposed to do. I was just trying to figure out where I fit in.

It wasn’t until I moved to Sedona that my life really changed spiritually. That’s when everything shifted for me.

Why did you move to Sedona? What drew you there?

Lori Lané: The end of a relationship. I came to Sedona to heal from a divorce, and I ended up staying and healing others. It became a huge turning point in my life.

How long have you been there? And that’s a big shift — from exploring spirituality to becoming a healer. How did that happen?

Lori Lané: I had been in sales and marketing for three decades, so yes, it was a huge change. When I left that world, I knew I wanted to do something completely different. I got tired of what I call “keeping up with the Joneses.” In commissioned sales, you’re only as good as your last sale. There are always quotas, always pressure. I just reached a point where I said, enough is enough. I want something different.

Then a girlfriend of mine did a reading for me and said, “You would be really good at Reiki.” And I said, “Reiki? What’s that? Do you rake over somebody?” I had never even heard of it.

She told me to go check it out and take a class. So I did — and that’s what opened the door into the healing arts. I started practicing Reiki, building my healing business, and eventually, I blended my sales and marketing background into it by organizing spiritual events. I began hosting spiritual fairs — first in Prescott, and then in Sedona. And that’s really how it all began.

Nine years ago, you were seeking funding to start a healing center. I found a video — you were looking for about $1.3 million to create a bed and breakfast. From then until now, what was that journey like? Did you get the $1.3 million?

Lori Lané: No. I didn’t.

I ended up doing it on my own. I saved the money. I worked several jobs. I put it out there that I was going to create this — and I guess Spirit has a way of making you learn certain lessons before giving you certain things.

That bed and breakfast felt like a carrot dangling in front of me. Like, it’s yours if you really want it — how bad do you want it? I tried to get funding. I studied. I moved toward doing more healing work. But the funding never came.

Instead, I found a location — literally right across the street from where I live now. And that’s the same location I’m still in.

When you first walked up to that space and saw it, what was going on inside of you?

Lori Lané: I wanted it. I knew I wanted it.

At that time, I had just gone through a divorce. I had taken on all the debt from it. It was also during the recession — around 2010, when I moved to Sedona — and even sales jobs were hard to find. I was waitressing, bartending, doing whatever I could to make money.

All I needed was $10,000 to move into that location. That was it. But because of the debt and everything I had taken on, I couldn’t get it. I started asking around. I was bartending at a local restaurant and mentioned my dream to an attorney who had an office in the same plaza. I asked if he knew anyone who might lend me the money. I told him how perfect the location was.

He said he didn’t know anyone, but he’d keep me posted.

A few months later, I walked by — and he had moved into that exact location. I was shocked. I remember thinking, Wow. And I also remember realizing something important about sharing your dreams. Not everyone is meant to hold them with you.

So I took it as a sign: it’s not the right time. Go work. Go learn. Do what you need to do.

I took a sales job that required me to travel back and forth from Sedona. I was selling advertising in the phone book, which, at the time, was probably one of the hardest sales jobs you could have, because everything was already moving online.

Eventually, I hit what I’d call another dark night of the soul. I realized, this isn’t what I want. So I quit.

Instead of working for other people, I decided to start marketing Raven’s Call and build something of my own. Just a few days after I made that decision, I met a woman who owned a bed-and-breakfast. She needed a manager — an innkeeper, a sales manager — and I went to work for her.

That experience changed everything. I was able to offer my healing services to the guests while still working. It started weaving together.

Eventually, I left and went to massage school. That was later in life. I had always worked in sales and marketing, but I realized that if I wanted to take healing to the next level — to work at a larger resort or build something real — I needed proper training.

I was in a supportive relationship at the time, and I was able to take 5 months off to complete my training.

Interestingly, years before, while I was doing telemarketing for advertising, I had connected with a man who wrote spiritual books. We became friends over time, and he would speak at some of my spiritual events. I called him out of the blue and said, “I’m going to massage school. I’m building my dream. I want to open a healing center.”

He said, “I need someone to market my book nationwide. Would you be interested?”

I said yes.

So I did that on the side while going to school. It helped support me. And little by little — baby steps — everything built on itself.

That’s how it all came together.

What year did you open Raven’s Call, and why did you choose that name?

Lori Lané: Raven’s Call officially became what it is now in 2017, but it actually started as a sales and marketing company. The name came from an encounter I had with a raven about twenty-five years ago — and that experience is really what brought me back to Sedona. I’m actually writing a book about it because it was that profound.

Meeting that raven changed something in me.

Tell me about it. How did that encounter happen?

Lori Lané: I was in Sedona on vacation with my mom and a couple of friends. We were out near the ruins on the outskirts of town when this raven started interacting with us. It just kept talking — hopping around, staying close. And I started talking back to it.

When we got in the car to leave, we were laughing about how unusual the whole thing was. Then I looked back and realized the raven was following us. It followed us twenty miles back to our hotel in West Sedona and landed on a lamp post outside. I stayed out there for another hour just talking to this bird before we went to dinner.

The next morning, we left Sedona and went back home. I was living in Nevada at the time, working in sales and marketing in the packaging industry. I traveled a lot for work — long drives. And that’s when something strange started happening.

Ravens began following me on the road. Not once. Not twice. For years.

I started thinking, Okay, what is this about? So I began researching ravens. I learned that they have one of the largest brains among bird species. They can mimic sounds and even words. They’re different from crows. Their feathers shimmer in the light — they’re actually incredibly beautiful. And symbolically, they’re seen as magical, as messengers.

That’s when the name came to me: Raven’s Call. The raven as the messenger of news — and “news” as North, East, West, South — the four directions. It felt symbolic. So I first built a sales and marketing company under that name, and over time, it evolved into the healing center.

But it was that original encounter that kept pulling me back to Sedona. After that first trip, I came back again while I was in another relationship. The man I was with had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, so we had to leave earlier than planned. But we saw the raven again.

I bought a picture of Bell Rock and said, “One day I’m going to live in Sedona. I’m going to have a successful business. I’m going to own a home with views of Bell Rock.”

Twenty-five years later, here I am. I have a business. I own a home. I have views of Bell Rock.

I never gave up on the vision. I just kept moving forward the best I could.

Over the years, the ravens have kept showing up. They warn me about people. About situations. I receive messages from them. It’s been happening for decades.

When I finally decided to move to Sedona, I had an appointment with a realtor. I pulled into a Circle K parking lot to meet her, and a raven landed on my car. The realtor pulled up and said, “What’s up with the raven?” I just laughed and said, “They like me, I guess.”

We drove to see a rental property, and the raven followed us and landed in a nearby tree. That ended up being the place I lived for eight years before buying my home.

Later, when I was looking at the house I now own, I pulled up with a psychic friend and said, “I don’t know if I’m going to get this house.” She looked up and said, “Oh, you’re getting it.” I asked why. She said, “Because two ravens are sitting on your roof.”

Moments like that — synchronicities, numbers, signs — they’ve followed me my whole spiritual journey. That’s why I need to finish my book. I’ve documented everything.

It’s been amazing. It really has.

I noticed that this year, in 2026, you shifted from a black raven logo to a white raven logo. Help me understand — what’s the shift there?

Lori Lané: Yes, yes. Well… I went from black hair to white hair. (laughs)

But truly, the shift is deeper than that.

In our work, we’re always doing shadow work. Even though I’m helping others heal, I’m constantly healing myself. When I work with sound, for example, I’m offering that frequency to someone else — but it’s also moving through me. It’s always reciprocal.

Last year was brutal. I experienced fourteen losses — eleven friends and family members dear to my heart, and three pets. One of them was my cat, who was 21 years old. There wasn’t even time to process it all. It was one loss after another.

One of the most significant losses was my dear friend, Alex Ware. He passed on September 25th. I notice numbers — patterns — and that date felt significant. He had kidney failure, received a transplant, was doing well, and then unexpectedly passed due to complications from a gallbladder infection. I was there when he transitioned. I held his hand as he crossed over at 4:32 p.m., and 432 is a frequency I work with in my sound healing.

Part of my work includes helping people and even pets transition. I’ve done clearings and end-of-life support, so being there with him was deeply personal and spiritual.

About a week after he passed, he came back to me as a white raven.

People say, “But white ravens are rare.” And they are. But the week after his passing, we were hosting a spiritual fair. He used to come and support us — get a chair massage, bring us lunch, just be present.

That day, a group of women came in for a retreat. One of them was a psychic medium. We were talking about world events, endings, and cycles. She had just spent $108 at my booth — which adds up to nine, a number of completion. We had just been talking about Alex before she walked up.

Then she looked at me and said, “You shouldn’t wear black anymore. There’s too much darkness in the world. You need to wear white. You need to be the white raven.”

And I paused. Maybe, you are right!

Then she said, “I don’t like the word ‘right,’ because that makes someone else wrong. I prefer the word ‘aware.’”

When she said that — aware — my whole body reacted. My friend Morrigan looked at me and said, “Oh my God. Alex Ware is here.”

The synchronicities that day were overwhelming. A man stood at our booth for an hour talking about Christ consciousness. Then a hospice nurse came up — and Alex’s wife is currently in hospice, and I’m helping care for her. It was one sign after another.

Since then, whenever I speak about him, I see 11:11, 3:33, repeating numbers everywhere. His numerology number was 11. I can’t dismiss it. There’s meaning there.

So I began asking, what does the white raven signify?

The black raven came to me years ago — that was the beginning. But when I started researching the white raven, I found themes of global healing, spiritual awakening, and massive shifts in humanity. In some mythologies, it’s tied to transformation, to the revelation of truth — even to catastrophic change that precedes awakening.

And recently, there have been documented sightings of a white raven in Alaska — one with a blue eye. Around the same time my cat Max passed, I began dreaming about a white kitten with one blue eye named Om. It felt connected, like messages layering over one another.

White represents purity. Illumination. Higher frequency.

So the rebrand isn’t just aesthetic. It’s a shift into global healing. Expanding beyond the physical space. Moving more online — teaching classes, doing more podcasts, and creating more video content. I’ve felt called to step forward publicly for three years now, but I’ve been doing the work behind closed doors.

The white raven feels like the next evolution. Not denying the shadow — but embodying the light that emerges after walking through it.

Tell me about your work. When clients come to you, are they mostly Sedona residents or visitors? And what are the challenges they’re usually facing?

Lori Lané: The majority of my regular clients are locals, and many of them are older. Some have been with me since the early days — even back when I was working out of my house or at the golf course. Those relationships go back years.

A lot of them come in with physical aches and pains. Many have lost loved ones and are grieving, so they’re really coming for touch, for comfort, for healing. They love the sound therapy because it takes them into a deeper state of consciousness where the body can truly begin to heal.

I also see a lot of tourists. Sedona draws people who are already on a spiritual path. I host retreats, and I’m hired to support retreats as well — so it’s a mix of locals and visitors.

When you say ‘retreats,’ are people coming to your facility, or are you traveling to where they are?

Lori Lané: Both. We host retreats at our space, and I’m also hired to go into other retreats to offer massage and sound therapy. Lately, I’ve been doing quite a few of those.

We also offer couples massages, workshops, and classes. It’s really a wide range of services.

When someone comes in with a particular challenge, how do you decide which modality to use?

Lori Lané: I rely heavily on intuition. But I also ask a lot of questions. What’s happening in your body? How have you been feeling? What would you like to experience today?

Because I offer so many modalities, it becomes about listening — both energetically and practically. Do we need to do reprogramming or deprogramming work? Many people are carrying patterns and beliefs that no longer serve them. Do we need to let go and release them? Raise their vibration? Shift frequency? Or is it more physical — bodywork, pain management, tension relief?

I also work with homeopathic products. That actually started with my cat, Max. A friend introduced me to a detox product that removes heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic from food and water. I started carrying it in my facility. When Max got sick, I added a drop or two to his water, and it gave him three more years of life.

That got my attention.

My husband and I started using it as well, and it even lowered my thyroid medication. We were able to cut it in half. That’s when I thought, there’s something here.

So now I offer those products alongside the healing work, and I’ve seen real improvements in my clients’ lives.

But at the core of everything, what I want to create is a sacred space — somewhere people feel safe enough to heal. And ultimately, I want to empower them to heal themselves. That’s why I created things like my Miracle Kit — tools they can use at home, whether it’s tuning forks or other frequency-based practices.

It’s about guiding them — and then helping them remember their own ability to heal.

Talk to me about sound healing for a moment. What is it about sound — and specifically tuning forks, which I know are a big passion for you — that makes them so powerful and healing?

Lori Lané: Oh, I love tuning forks. They truly changed my life.

I was working at the Hilton at the time — I’ve always had multiple jobs — and I traded services with someone there. She did a tuning fork session on me, and I immediately fell in love with it. The forks were color-coded to the chakra system, and I remember thinking, Okay… this is beautiful. What is this?

She gave me the information, and I ordered a set. Then they arrived, and I thought, Now what do I do with them? I realized I needed training. So I went and got certified. While I was there, they actually asked me to become a teacher. That felt like confirmation.

That was about ten years ago.

From there, I just kept expanding — the ancient Solfeggio tones, Fibonacci frequencies, brain tuners, angel tuners, bass drums. There are so many layers to sound work.

But what really convinced me was what I felt in my own body. The shifts were undeniable. When you experience healing yourself, you want to share it. It becomes a responsibility — almost a duty — to pass that wisdom on.

You’ve created a Magic and Miracles Kit that people can buy online. What’s included in that, and how does it help?

Lori Lané: The Magic and Miracles Kit includes six tuning forks. There’s an Om tuner and one I call the “Miracle” tuner — that one changed my husband’s life. There’s also what I call a magic wand fork, which helps activate and open the third eye, along with angel tuners to help raise consciousness.

It also comes with a protective pendant, an essential oil to support third-eye activation, and a dragon crystal for meditation or placement during sessions.

We offer online training with it, so people can learn how to self-tune — how to use the forks on themselves. It’s also a great starter kit for massage therapists or healers who want to incorporate sound into their practice.

It’s simple, but it’s powerful.

For people who don’t live in Sedona, what are the ways they can work with you?

Lori Lané: I offer remote sessions. I can do distance healing with tuning forks and sound—and I’ve done so successfully for many clients. I also work remotely with animals, either over the phone or on Zoom.

So whether someone wants a personal session, support for their pet, or to learn how to use the tools themselves, they can absolutely reach out.

These are exciting times. And healing isn’t limited by location anymore.

You’ll be at the Sedona Ascension Retreat this March, right there in your backyard. What will you be presenting or sharing?

Lori Lané: I’ll be helping people open their hearts.

We’ll be working with specific tuning forks to open the heart space and help people feel more receptive and connected. I’ll be sharing about the power of love — and also telling the story of how the Magic and Miracles Kit came to be.

That kit was inspired by the healing journey of someone very close to me who recovered from stage four glioblastoma. It was a powerful experience that shaped the work in profound ways.

I’ll also be assisting with land work at the retreat — supporting the energy of the space itself.

Where can people find you if they want to book a session in Sedona or work with you online?

Lori Lané: I have a few websites — RavensCallInc.com, WhiteRavenSedona.com, and RavensCallSedona.com. They all lead to the same place. It just depends on which name people resonate with.

They can also call me directly at (928) 202-1179.

Raven’s Call is truly healing for your soul. That’s what it’s always been about.

Thank you for being here and sharing your story.

Lori Lané: Thank you. I’m looking forward to meeting you in person.
