Welcome….I’ve been a chronic exerciser and competitive marathon runner who had a two-decade-long struggle with food + body. Now I help people worldwide overcome eating disorder recovery, exercise addiction, and have a joyful and effortless relationship with movement and food. I also work with Athletes to manage performance pressures and mental health concerns.
Lauren has a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy, Certified Psychedelic assisted therapy, a Degree in Nutrition Dietetics, Naturopathy, and a Graduate Dip in Psychology. Integrating these holistic and scientific approaches enables a whole person-centered approach tailored to the unique needs of the individual.
Lauren specializes in Health At Every Size (HAES) and incorporates HAES philosophies into her inclusive, respectful therapy that focuses on well-being and self-compassion for my clients. Her lived experience and specialist training in these areas allow her to hold space with clients to accept, love and nourish their bodies.
