Hi, I'm Lauren.
It's great to meet you!
At first, I created Wild & Free to make a home for all my wellness en devours. Soon after, I realized I wanted it to be more. Much more. I wanted it to be a platform to help people create the lives they had always imagined. For them to see their true potential in deserving that life. To find happiness and fulfillment through making themselves their main priority in this world. I’m talking a little bit more self-compassion!
To me, working with you means providing the accountability you need to create your own life. The power of positive thinking, perseverance, and having the right support can make all the difference in making lasting changes. My goal is for you to feel the pride, self-love and accomplishment you deserve; while transforming into the healthiest and happiest YOU. We get this one beautiful life - live it Wild & Free!
Why I became a Yoga Teacher
I became a yoga teacher because it saved my life, and I want share the healing and strengthening process with those looking to find a way to bring more of what they want into their life and get rid of what no longer serves them. Through yoga, I learned self-love, patience, and acceptance. It is SO much more than a physical practice. I found the ability to live bigger and more present than I'd ever imagined, and gained the confidence to make my dreams a reality. Through a yoga practice, your mat becomes your mirror. It reflects all you put into your life and how you treat yourself. There's no fancy filter - the image is raw, real, and full of unconditional love.
Why I became a Reiki Practitioner
I obtained my Reiki Level 2 certification to further assist my clients in their healing process. I believe energy healing is one of the greatest components of self-care, and an excellent way to release emotional and physical burdens. Reiki is an instrumental part of my own growth and happiness.
Why I became a Health Coach
I became a Holistic Health Coach to help others develop a strong, positive relationship with food. I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to feel whole; especially with feeling overwhelmed by so many contradicting diet and lifestyle resources. Since my early adolescence, I have struggled with anxiety and a debilitating eating disorder, and am in recovery phases for both due to the work I now offer my clients. I know how difficult a road it is to overcome and find a true sense of Self. I also understand how life can be pretty hectic, and it can feel defeating to stay healthy and claim your identity when faced with an overwhelmingly busy schedule.
To get the education I needed to become a Health Coach, I attended Institute for Integrative Nutrition, the world's largest nutrition school. I was trained in more than one hundred dietary theories and studied a variety of practical lifestyle coaching methods. Drawing on this knowledge, I will help you create a completely personalized "road map to health" that suits your unique body, lifestyle, preferences and goals. I believe one's wildest dreams are the most gratifying to fulfill, and with my help, an attainable reality.
How I live Wild & Free
I live Wild & Free by being a "yes" for everything that lights my soul - even if it scares me. No, especially if it scares me! I believe in having fun in the simple day to day, as life is too precious to live ordinarily. I enjoy reading books that make me feel something, cooking deliciously vibrant food, combing the beach for treasures, sketching out my imagination, and spending much needed time for the soul with my friends and family. I stay active by practicing yoga, dancing around my house, kayaking, singing the car, snowshoeing, and hiking. Meditation is a huge part of my life, and has helped me to create peace and balance.
