a little about me
Hi, I’m Lauren. My journey to becoming a somatic therapist has been deeply personal and transformative. In 2016, after facing fertility challenges, I set out on a 400km hike through the Sierra Nevada Mountains—a journey that changed my life. It was during that time, surrounded by the raw beauty of the earth, that I began to reconnect with my body and soul in ways I had never experienced before. Later, during my pregnancy and the birth of my twins, I found the healing power of somatic therapy, particularly through Somasoul Somatic Therapy. It became my anchor in a time of deep change, helping me navigate the intense transitions of motherhood and the shifts that came with it. It was this experience that inspired me to help other women going through their own sacred transitions, whether that’s fertility, motherhood, or any life-altering challenge. I know what it feels like to stand at the edge of something big, and I believe every woman deserves a safe, nurturing space to feel held and supported through it.
Leaving behind my career in law and government work, I spent years learning, growing, and discovering the healing wisdom that nature and somatic therapy offer. I now dedicate my life to helping women reconnect with their bodies, their emotions, and the earth around them. I believe in the quiet power of grounded, intentional change—moving away from the noise of everyday life to find what truly matters. Outside of my work, I’m a mum, a student of nature, and someone who finds joy in simple moments—whether that’s talking with my sisters, working with the Australian Centre for Meditation and Mindfulness, or nurturing our family garden. Through it all, I remain in awe of the sacred journey we’re all on, constantly learning, evolving, and finding ways to stay grounded in a world that can feel overwhelming.
WORK WITH ME
There’s nothing more fulfilling to me than supporting women as they reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and the earth—especially during life’s sacred transitions.
I specialize in helping women navigate challenges like fertility struggles, pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, as well as reconnecting with their body’s wisdom, healing past trauma, and embracing deeper self-love.
My sessions are grounded in the principles of Somasoul Somatic Therapy—compassionate, embodied, and open-hearted. We create a safe space for you to explore what’s alive in your body and emotions, where you can be met with compassion and presence. Through this, powerful transformation can unfold as you reconnect with yourself in deeper, more authentic ways.
All sessions are held via Zoom and are strictly confidential. I’m here to support you as you move through life’s transitions, offering a space for healing, growth, and embodied transformation.
