Hello! I’m Lauren.

I am a highly-sensitive and empathetic individual who has been described by others as an “old soul” since the time I was three years old. From as early as I can remember, I have felt called to quietly listen to others’ experiences and provide gentle guidance and love as they work through whatever journey they’re on.

For a long time, I tried to ignore my true nature and force myself into molds that I viewed as more “acceptable” and that would lead me toward what society views as “success”. As such, I pursued an MBA and began working in Healthcare Administration directly after receiving my master’s degree. As an empath, I had a very difficult time fitting-in with the corporate culture that I’d forced myself into for over ten years before becoming a wellness coach.

My nurturing and gentle demeanor simply did not fit into the framework of the corporate world, and I experienced a great deal of anxiety, discomfort and struggle because of it. After so many years of trying to force a life onto myself that I didn’t truly want, something miraculous happened and it changed my life, perspective and priorities completely: I became a mother.

For the first time in my life, I felt that my natural-born skills and innate power and intuition were being celebrated and used to their greatest potential. Being a mother felt like my true calling in life. I finally felt at peace and at home with myself.

Fast forward to when I’d reached the end of my maternity leave and it was time to go back to my corporate job … This is when I experienced a great deal of sadness and confusion, and struggled to reconcile the new me with who I was before I became a mother. At this time, I realized what a huge lack of support and care for new mothers exists in our workplaces and healthcare system. I was caught off-guard by feeling a lack of identity, guilt over leaving my child to be cared for by someone else while I worked, shame about my postpartum body, fear of leaving my baby and many other challenging thoughts and emotions. My mind felt “jumbled”, I’d abandoned my healthy mindset and routines, and I felt lost and alone. I tried to talk to my doctors, husband, family and friends, but at no fault of their own, they weren’t able to provide the type of support and level of understanding that I truly needed.

After doing lots and lots of soul-searching, being in therapy and working with a coach of my own, I made the life-changing decision to leave my corporate job and pursue building my own wellness coaching practice for pregnant women and new mothers. Never before have I felt such a great sense of joy and fulfillment from my work. I truly believe that providing holistic wellness support to women during the most transformational time in their lives is my calling in life (in addition to being a mother)! It is my mission to guide and support women to healthfully grow, transform and evolve into the mothers they want to be.

At last, my true nature is being celebrated and is able to shine as I guide and partner with women all over the country who are looking for authentic love, support, guidance and gentle accountability within the safe and nurturing space that is created through the coaching relationship that I create with each and every one of my clients.
