About
Lauren has over 20 years experience in the healing arts. She began practicing Reiki in 2002 and earned her Masters degree in acupuncture in 2007 from Tai Sophia (now known as Maryland University of Integrative Medicine). She attended births as a doula for a decade. In 2016 she began serious study of essential oils with visionary aromatherapist Tiffany Carole, and began using them in practice and then teaching on the subject. In 2018 Lauren began integrating Tarot with Chinese medicine and created AcuTarot. In 2022 Lauren began serious study of astrology, depth psychology, Taoist psychology and alchemy under the mentorship of Lorie Dechar and Benjamin Fox through A New Possibility. Lauren is a lifelong learner and her practice will always evolve to reflect that.
Lauren's sessions are informed by the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, Five Element Theory, Western Astrology and depth psychology, as well as the cultivated strength of her own intuition. A natural teacher, she shares her insight and intention through treatments to encourage energy shifts to root deeply in her client's consciousness and continue to unfold in the days and weeks beyond each session.
Outside of work you can find Lauren enjoying her two young children with her partner, Josh. She enjoys live music and dancing, reading, writing and learning, connecting with spiritual community and honoring the cycles of life and Nature with ritual. Lauren maintains a regular meditation practice to support her through all of life.
Mission
. "My calling is to be a deep listener, a compassionate and acknowledging witness, here with encouraging words and a reminder of the big picture when you get lost. I aim to provide guidance through the sticky, transitional parts of life, and I am eager to celebrate the many rebirthings and refinements along your path as you evolve into your truest Self. As a playful and loving dancer with the Divine in each Soul I attend, I am here to support the awakening, embodiment and evolution of your Spirit."
Special Interests
Lauren has a particular passion for supporting clients struggling with mental and emotional health, in major life transitions, and those wishing to attend to the callings of their Soul. She utilizes trauma-informed care to support clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mental health challenges. The majority of her continuing education has been focused on psychology and mental and emotional health for the past decade.
Lauren also has a wealth of knowledge and experience in women's reproductive health. She is skilled in addressing menstrual difficulties, fertility enhancement, treating concerns and supporting wellness through pregnancy and caring for postpartum and menopausal women. She attended births as a doula for a decade and, while no longer serving in that capacity, she draws on the wisdom of those experiences in supporting her clients.
