In-Person Sessions:
Single session: 1.5 hour / 90 minutes
Session package: Includes 3 x 1.5 hour sessions in total.
Each session starts with a cup of tea and water and a heart to heart talk to land together. I recommend that you don’t make too many plans for the day, so you can tune in, and feel what is alive in you after the session.
I look forward to welcoming you.
Testimonials
“Lauren showed great skill in attaining a balance of being a therapist and encouraging participation. I experienced no pressure and I felt at ease throughout the session.
The sessions were in depth and I felt strong physical reactions to the energy work, evidencing Lauren’s skill at identifying areas of healing. I experienced ’tingling’ sensations and visible signs that my body had responded to the energy work by changing shape and my muscles relaxing. Significant breakthroughs in terms of identifying psychological/spirtual blockages and easing the energies in the areas that were causing me some continued ‘distress’ in day to day life were startling in their impact.
The sessions developed my grounding and settled my nervous system. I had a feeling of ‘walking on air’ post sessions, and armed with knowledge about areas in my body that require attention so I can develop self care practices to continue this feeling.
The sessions also instigated a creative and more spiritual flow through my interactions with others, a friend a few hours after one session remarked that she had felt her own body shift to a state of calmness within my presence. A by product I had not anticipated or indeed expected!
In each session I felt a shift occur within me that created more alignment with my body and spirit. I am looking forward to our future sessions and further supporting my body and mind.” - Rosie
“What was unique about my experience with Lauren was her gentleness.
She began by seeking out my natural energy vibration rather than directing or influencing it, it felt like once she felt where I was, she simply joined me. Lauren demonstrated high levels of sensitivity and intuition; it felt like she was responding to the subtle changes in my energy field with grace and with ease. I felt listened to, valued, supported and cared for which resulted in an undeniable worthy investment in self.
I felt wonderful afterwards; rested, loved and inspired. Lauren directed me to the beautiful array of watercolours and I immediately started channelling a piece that at the end I titled ‘Love’.
I would say that it is a very gentle, nurturing experience with a profound transformation in the days that follow. I am still composting my experience. While the actual day felt extremely gentle I have been quite taken aback by the impact it has had on my energy levels & I have felt a strong need to rest. She knew that I have been doing inner body work for 20 years and so while she warned me of the need to rest afterwards, we have both been surprised at how much the session still had such an impact on me.”
