About Lauren

​Lauren is a yoga teacher, Reiki Master Teacher, and practitioner of embodied, integrative care.

​

Her work is rooted in the understanding that we move through many seasons in a lifetime—some expansive, some heavy, and some that ask more of us than we feel ready for. Through restorative and yin yoga, reiki, and creative expression, she offers practices that support a return to wholeness, even in the midst of challenge.

​

Integration through practice is at the heart of what she shares. Not as a way of fixing or improving who we are, but as a way of remembering—of coming back into relationship with the body, and creating space for more ease, presence, and self-trust.

This work extends beyond the individual. It lives in the ways we show up for our relationships, our communities, and the world around us. What we cultivate within, we carry outward.

​

Lauren’s approach is gentle, intuitive, and grounded in lived experience. She is especially passionate about creating spaces that are inclusive, trauma-aware, and supportive of bodies moving through pain, fatigue, or deep change.

​

When not sharing this work, Lauren can be found exploring the west, tending to her garden, writing, singing, being a little goofy, and spending quiet, restorative time in nature.

REIKI & MASSAGE

Lauren has been devoted to the study of Reiki for nearly two decades, beginning in her late teens after witnessing the profound impact of the practice in the healing journey of a loved one. She completed her training to Master level in the Usui tradition under Reiki Master Teacher Jonathon Star, and later continued her studies with additional teachers and lineages. She is also a certified massage practitioner, with a background in bodywork that continues to inform her understanding of the nervous system and the body’s capacity for healing.

SOUND

Music and voice remain an integral part of Lauren’s work. As a lifelong vocalist and experienced performer, she brings a deep relationship with sound into her offerings, weaving voice, rhythm, and song into select practices. She is currently developing song circles and spaces for shared creative expression as a form of connection and healing.
