Facilitating is one of Lauren's strengths, and she has co-led Westcoat Hot Yoga’s 200-hour yoga teacher training since 2020. By merging her background in psychology with her love for yoga, she consistently applies trauma-informed principles in both public and private classes. Lauren views trauma through the lens of the nervous system, advocating for a trauma-informed approach as the standard of care for all practitioners working with clients.

Beyond her professional identity, Lauren shares her personal mission, rooted in her own life experiences. As a survivor of CSA (Childhood Sexual Abuse), she intimately understands the challenges of disconnection. Having navigated her own journey of self-reconnection, Lauren uses her insights to guide clients from all walks of life in reclaiming their bodies and creating a life of safety. Her mentoring extends not only within her somatic practice but also to the numerous yoga trainees she has encountered over the years.

For Lauren, this work is more than a profession; it's a life's mission. Her goal is to cultivate a ripple effect of trauma-informed practitioners who approach the world with curiosity and compassion. Shifting the paradigm from “what is wrong with you?” to “what happened to you?” defines Lauren's commitment, making her life's work a passion that surpasses all else in this world.
