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, alchemy, 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 thinks of herself as a Soul Doula. Her passion is in supporting individuals through transformational processes, and helping them to lean into their evolution at the level of their soul, which supports the evolution of consciousness in this important time on the planet. To this end, she utilizes acupuncture, astrology, Tarot, essential oils and flower essences. She supports folks in being curious about their dreams and listening to insight from that realm, as well as the inner landscape of somatic experience, and she is a steady and nurturing presence for her clients as they engage in the sometimes messy but always rewarding work of listening deeply to the stirrings of the soul.
​
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.
