My passion for helping people improve their health stems from my own experience navigating chronic symptoms that never seemed to have clear answers.
Beginning in my early twenties, I struggled with migraines, severe digestive issues, skin rashes, and eventually joint pain. Over time, I racked up three autoimmune diagnoses and a growing list of prescriptions—each time hearing the same message: no one could explain why this was happening or offer me an alternative path beyond masking symptoms with bandaid solutions.
Deep down, I knew there had to be more to the story.
I went searching for answers and tried countless approaches with some success and a few epic fails and learned some valuable lessons along the way. I began to understand how profoundly nutrition and lifestyle impact health. I also learned the importance of digging deeper to uncover underlying imbalances through functional testing. Most importantly, my focus began to shift from restrictions and following rigid protocols to supporting the body’s foundations so balance can be restored and healing can occur.
Through my training as a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I learned how digestion, blood sugar balance, nutrient and mineral status, and the nervous system all work together and how small, strategic changes can have a powerful impact. I later pursued advanced training as a Restorative Health Practitioner to address gut health more deeply through functional lab testing, which proved pivotal in my own healing journey.
While no two stories are alike, I understand what it feels like to know there must be another way yet feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice on how to get there. My personal experience gives me deep compassion for anyone struggling with chronic health issues who feels stuck or confused.
Today, I bring both professional training and lived experience into my work. I help clients make sense of their symptoms, uncover root causes, and take sustainable steps toward better health. My goal is to meet you where you are offering clarity, compassion, and practical support that empowers lasting change.
Lauren’s calming presence and confidence that she could help me was such a relief. Her attention to details of my health history was my first clue that she truly listens and cares about my health concerns. Her knowledge and support helped me to make changes to how I eat that never felt like a diet. I’m sleeping so much better and my eczema has cleared.

Lauren is dedicated, thorough, and insightful. She really listened and sought to help me discover the road blocks I needed to shift to make real change. She even met me at the farmers market to help me choose things that would be worth integrating into my diet.
