Personalized Support for Women with Pre-Diabetes
Let's dive in together. It's time to take the steering wheel of your life and turn things around.
A few disclaimers:
#1- Out of my own natural desire to heal some personal health challenges, I have explored healthy eating and cooking techniques for many years. While I have tried many types of diets and worked with nutritionists for my own health; I am NOT a licensed nutritionist. What I can do is support you as you experiment with the eating style that works best for you- be it paleo, keto, vegan, vegetarian, or some combination of these. If you are looking for someone to tell you what to eat and need to identify food sensitivities, I will point you in the direction you need to go.
#2. Even though I have challenged myself to run races, triathlons, and stay active over the years, I am NOT a personal trainer. I will not be prescribing you a work-out plan. If you are looking for specific exercise support, I can point you in the right direction. What I can do is help you find the motivation to get active in ways that work best for you. And I can help keep you accountable to your goals.
#3. I am also NOT a doctor. I am NOT a therapist. I highly recommend you have one of each of these on your team.
What I am is a real person, who has been on a healing journey of my own. I am a guide, and a non-judgmental witness to your process. I can relate to the real struggles of making behavior change last.
It's your turn to take charge and empower yourself with a new vision of your life. I can help you discover what is really important to you and support you in empowering yourself.
I believe in your capacity to be the heroine of your journey. You got this!

Client Testimonials
""In just 6 weeks of working with Lauren as my coach I was able to establish a regular habit of exercising at home and eating a healthier range of foods. I very quickly felt stronger and more confident and alert, and I lost a few unwanted pounds. In the process, my attitude shifted from thinking that exercising and eating more healthily is hard, boring, and too much work, to realizing that I love and value myself, my health, and my life. Now I'm choosing to more deliberately care for myself and live into the vision of a stronger, healthier me, especially as I grow older. Lauren is a very good listener, encouraging and upbeat, and has a lot of resources to share. I felt heard, supported and encouraged. She gave me a wonderful variety of tools, ideas, and links to helpful websites. I'm so glad I invested in hiring her as my coach -- it was very helpful!" - Loma H.
"Lauren embraces the human and divine aspects of life. I am welcome to say anything and be myself. She creates and holds, a warm, friendly space for me to relax into. She's a great question asker, leading me to discover and express how I really feel, what I really want, and how I can access my wisdom and skills to create a happier, more meaningful and enjoyable life. Before working with Lauren I didn't know what "satisfaction" meant or how I could feel satisfied in my life. Now I feel satisfied and a sense of contentment throughout almost every day. I would highly recommend her! “- Jennelle T.
"Working with Lauren has been a great experience. Her coaching style was an ideal mix of accountability, exploration, spirituality and general well-received intent. She helped me establish a regular meditation practice and a daily running habit, both of which have helped me find a greater sense of balance in my life and in my work. I feel that I've made very tangible progress and I don't think I'll slip out of that any time soon. I would recommend Lauren if you are wanting some real, practical steps for achieving your goals. If you are looking for some positive movement in your life, and need someone to talk through things and gain new perspectives- hire her!" - Andy M.
“Lauren is a good listener and is really genuine in her care for clients. She was a great sounding board for the situation that I'm in and provided a safe place to explore my thoughts and feelings about it. I would recommend Lauren as a coach because of her compassion and helpful insights! “ ~ Colleen C.
“Lauren is a very personable coach that listens very well and truly convenes a heartfelt interest in your personal goals. She has a unique approach to personal coaching. Before working with her, I was feeling stress and anxiety about an upcoming performance. Lauren helped me realize that by engaging in my highest artistic activities with fun and joy I can succeed in communicating my artistic message.” ~ Bill N.
“I have had the pleasure of calling Lauren my friend for more than 15 years. She has a very inviting presence, and she just makes me want to smile, even as we have discussed some truly heart-rending topics. It's pretty difficult to find someone whose agenda is really to remind you of your highest truth. Lauren is that someone.” ~ Keith P.
