About Lauren
Courtroom Lawyer
I found myself searching for ways to relieve stress and pressure from my demanding career. Somatic breathwork completely reset my energy body, and all of a sudden I remembered how to feel good!
Lauren – My Journey
A UToronto Law School graduate, practising as a courtroom lawyer in criminal court for nearly a decade, I found myself dealing with stress and pressure from my demanding career. I didn’t want to take medication, or fall into stress eating, or lose my health.
I found the answer to relieving stress, vicarious trauma, and tensions of the office world in ancient modalities like breathwork. Breathwork activates the stress response, allowing stuck energy and emotions to come up and be released; what follows is clarity and calm.
This technique provided me more calm, confidence, and self mastery and healing than years of intense yoga, triathlons, and marathon trail running.
This process is so powerful it launched me into attaining my helicopter pilot licence, and even greater successes when I later returned to the courtroom. It was in seeing how much somatic breathwork helped me through the work week, in comparison to many others in the criminal justice system, that inspired me to get certified and offer guided breathwork sessions to other professionals.
Why Work With Me?
Having been through a long search for healing, as well as for performance optimization, I know for sure that a guide is only as good as how deep they’ve personally gone. I’ve gone very deep, and healed myself of so much emotional pain, grief, and loss. I’ve conquered vicarious trauma from my career, and healed inherited patterns in relationship. All of this has given me the confidence to work with you, and every session I guide is literally the deepest honour.
Testimonials
“The best part of the experience for me was the clarity (which was my intention) that slowly peeled back layer by layer after each breath-hold round. The way in which Lauren guided me with her choice of music and prompts offered me to go deeper than I expected to. I felt safe to express whatever came up for me which was mainly in the form of tears, tingling and shaking it out of my hands. Lauren felt like a practitioner that has been in practice for years. 100% worth the money.” – Jessica R
“Lauren was attentive and present and just her presence and her tone of voice was reassuring. I felt safe and her presence gave me permission to freely express myself.
