All Things Natural

All About Me
Hi! My name is Lauren, and I am a mom of two young boys and an awesome dog. We live in Orange County, CA!
I haven't always been the holistic person that I am now, and I am still (& forever will be) on my journey. What started me on this path was my diagnosis of postpartum anxiety. I had anxiety for as long as I can remember, but I wasn't aware of how severe it was until I had my first child. There is a lot more that goes into this story, but I'll keep it short. I started therapy, and eventually started to take Zoloft. I have always taken extreme caution with pills because my mom had an abusive past with it, and I didn't want to end up like that. So, I started to research natural ways to help anxiety, and down the rabbit hole I went. I was shocked and intrigued by everything I was reading. It opened a whole new world for me.
It first lead me to how your birth experience can impact postpartum. My births were medicated and traumatic, and I wish so badly I was more educated about it. This lead me to getting my doula certification so I could support and educate other mommas.
As I am self healing my traumas and getting to the root of my anxiety to help heal or maintain it as best as I can, I learned about the power of the mind. This lead me to getting my yoga teaching credential, & learning more about meditation, reiki, & other mindful/spiritual practices. Though, I'm not a huge fan of teaching it, I love to incorporate it in my individual coaching and doula and herbal clients because it is highly beneficial for the body, mind, and soul. Learning about your mind, observing your thoughts, & moving through them helps so much with the mental & emotional aspect of healing.
Then of course, plant magic. Oh the healing power of herbs! Five years ago, I would've laughed in your face if you tried to tell me plants and essential oils could heal you. Learning about herbs is my absolute calling and passion. It is what brings me absolute joy and I want to share that knowledge with the world.
Of course herbs, by themselves, will help support and heal certain issues, but it is you as a whole that will maintain your health. This, lead me to nutrition and lifestyle. Your gut health is the key to the foundation of whole body health. What you consume will nourish you or feed illness.
This is just a short overview of how I got to where I am. I was my first client and took back my health by myself, and I want nothing more than to help you get yours back!
