Multidisciplinary artist, ceremonialist, homesteader, dream tracker, soul guide and somatic educator in the Feldenkrais Method.

Somatic Healing

Somatic Experiencing helps process trauma through bodily awareness rather than focusing solely on the traumatic narrative. This approach uses the body as a guide to identify and release trauma held physically, leading to a more regulated nervous system and increased resilience.

STILL Yoga – Yoga for Recovery

STILL Yoga addresses addiction in all forms—substances, behaviors, and even seemingly positive habits like overworking. This recovery program combines tools from The 12 Step Program, Ayurveda, Yoga, and Meditation to help clients reconnect with their inner resources. Available as one-on-one sessions, 8-week group classes, or self-paced “STILL Books” workbooks.

Life’s disruptions can leave us feeling emotionally and physically stuck, pulling us out of alignment with who we truly are. When we’re operating from a place of survival, it’s difficult to experience the joy, connection, and sense of possibility that make life meaningful. My therapeutic philosophy is simple: humans were made to do more than simply survive – we were made to thrive. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about reconnecting with the parts of oneself that have always been there beneath the weight of stress, trauma, and life’s challenges.

I blend Ivy League training with real-world clinical experience and genuine compassion to create a space where my clients feel deeply seen, understood, and supported. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Fordham University and my Master of Social Work from Columbia University. I also hold a Level II certification in Usui Reiki and have received training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My work is grounded in an integrative approach that honors the connection between the mind, body, and spirit.

I have a special passion for working with high-achieving adults whose perfectionism was shaped by having to grow up too soon. In practice, this looks like supporting clients who had a parent struggling with chemical dependency or severe mental illness, experienced a high-conflict divorce, or found themselves taking on adult responsibilities as a child. These clients often may identify as the “responsible one,” the “mom” or “dad” friend, or the person everyone assumes has it all together. On the outside, their lives may look successful, but internally these clients feel exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to slow down. Together, my clients and I explore the patterns that once helped them survive and create space for a life that’s driven by authenticity rather than obligation.

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll usually find me spending time with my fiancé and our Bernese Mountain Dog, Topanga, practicing yoga, reading, or knitting. I am now accepting new clients in person in Austin and virtually throughout Texas and offer complimentary 15 minute phone consultations.

Owner / Practitioner @ EarthSkyBodyworks.net

Lauren’s attuned and sensitive approach to healing through Craniosacral Therapy is supported by more than twenty years of experience and specialization within the fields of embodiment and somatic practices. She assists clients in learning to speak and understand the language of the body, inviting them to come into a state of presence where they learn to notice sensation, feelings and at times subtle shifts within. It is in this place of presence where the healing process can really flourish – a process that is not as linear as it is circular or cyclical. Lauren works with clients who come in for treatment with a wide range of symptoms including anxiety and depression, car accident injuries, post-concussion syndrome, acute and chronic illness, post-Covid symptoms to relational, emotional and physical trauma.

Craniosacral Therapy is a non-invasive form of therapy. It is a gentle modality that nevertheless can work quite powerfully with restoring balance to the nervous system, and also ultimately works with all of the body systems. With respect for the inherent intelligence of the body, Lauren partners with each client to support their unique tempo and pace through the course of treatment. This relationship that develops with her clients is essential, as it establishes a ground for trust and safety, creating a relational field in which the body can reorganize, repair and heal naturally. Lauren brings warmth, openness, curiosity and empathetic listening to support this process. We are by our very biology, relational creatures and Lauren delights in partnering with clients on this journey. If you are thirsty for a more intimate relationship with yourself and your body; are ready to release old tension patterns that are no longer serving you; and open to investigating this process through your inner experience of felt sense sensations and feelings; and are looking for support in this endeavor, then she would love to support you.

Lauren is a Registered Craniosacral Therapist (RCST), Licensed Manual Therapist (LMT), she also holds an MFA in dance/interdisciplinary arts. She is also an advanced level certified Pilates teacher. She also teaches and facilitates a range of movement classes and workshops (now online) in Contemplative Dance /Authentic Movement practice as well as other movement modalities. Her practice in somatic therapies coexists with her other creative endeavors as a dance artist & dance maker, qi gong enthusiast, meditator, lover of the desert, amateur singer and filmmaker.
