Embodiment teacher for horses and humans!
Lauren brings a heart-centered approach to helping others unlock their full potential, cultivating a deeper sense of connection and well-being.
Through her work in integrative bodywork, fascial vibrancy, and movement, Lauren empowers individuals to experience their lives more fully, fostering a profound impact on themselves and the world around them.
As we move, we not only transform our own experiences but also open ourselves up to new connections with others and the natural world. This heightened sense of awareness and interconnection has the power to inspire positive change in our communities and environments.
By nurturing our own well-being and that of the animals we share our lives with, we can create a ripple effect of compassion and care that extends far beyond our individual boundaries.
For Lauren, horses hold a special place in her heart. With their gentle strength and intuitive nature, they serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy, trust, and mutual respect in all our relationships.
By embracing this holistic approach to well-being, we can cultivate a more resilient, compassionate, and vibrant world – one that honors the intricate web of life that binds us all together.
Lauren is a Certified Advanced Rolfer, craniosacral and acupressure practitioner and so much more.
Lauren's WHY!
Lauren grew up riding jumpers and bareback anytime she could. She competed up to young riders. She always had a passion for learning the art of healing and developing a deeper connection with horses. This passion was amplified by three major events in her life. She lost her soul horse, Carmella, and became ill with something that took a long time to discover the source of, and injured her back to the point that she couldn't ride a horse anymore, or so she thought. Through these three experiences she learned how to be there for horses in a whole new way to help them heal and prevent injury. She learned what it meant to heal at the soul level and changed her life and wellbeing through that process. Last but not least she had to learn to ride from scratch because nothing worked like it did before. It took a couple years before she could back in the saddle again but once she did it led to a whole new understanding of what it means to be an equestrian! This led to the development of her embodied equestrian work where she helps horses and riders deepen their embodiment together through bodywork and movement. This is very important work to her because when she got hurt she felt like a piece of her had been lost by not being able to ride anymore and in the end it turned out to be a beautiful gift. She wishes to be able to share this with any equestrian that hopes to have a better relationship with their horse whether they ride or not.
