reiki
reiki is an ancient Japanese healing modality. the word reiki has two parts, “rei” which refers to spiritual essence or soul, and “ki” which refers to life force energy. during a reiki session the healer is a conduit for the reiki energy - the universal life force energy - and channels it for the benefit of the person receiving the healing to promote balance, harmony and clearing, physically and energetically.
lauren is available for in-person healing sessions. lauren is also available for additional services such as distance healings (person or pet) as well as energetic clearings of spaces (such as your home) upon request.
yoga
the word yoga comes from the sanskrit root word “yuj” which means to yoke, join, or unite. another ancient tradition arising out of India, yoga is both a collection of practices and a state of being, with the aim of guiding us towards ourselves. while yoga includes a physical practice - through “asana” or postures - yoga also includes pranayama (breath control), meditation, and personal observances and abstinences to follow.
yoga comes in many different shapes and sizes - from yin (long holds focused on decompressing) to slow flow (gentle movement) to vinyasa (a stronger, breath-led flow).

pilates
pilates is named after Joseph Pilates, who developed a physical conditioning system called “contrology” in the early 20th century. pilates is a low-impact movement method focused on building core strength, improving flexibility, and enhancing posture.

sound
practices involving sound enable participants to lie back and enjoy the frequencies from various instruments including crystal singing bowls, chimes and rain drums to to promote relaxation and calm, and to reduce stress. this can happen through a process called brainwave entrainment, a neurophysiological process whereby electrical activity in the brain synchronises with the rhythm of external stimuli (such as sound).
lauren is available for private sound bookings or sound baths, as well as combining sound offerings with reiki, yoga or pilates.
lauren also teaches public yoga and breath practices involving sound at various studios.
