The lens through which I see the world has to do with how I identify; I am an artist, a woman, a carer and guide. I’m a wife and ma and friend and colleague. I am an advocate and wound-tender and empowerer.

 

I believe in nature and energy and the subtle body and that power can heal as well as harm.

 

I have a fire in my belly that compels me to disrupt societal and cultural constructs. For me. For you. For all of us. 

 

As a Juilliard trained actor with nearly one hundred plays under my belt, I am endlessly curious about us and our pain and joy and everything in between.

 

Self Leadership is essential in any paradigm. The more we can know ourselves, including our inner body and inner mind workings, the more powerful and grounded we can be.

My mission is to support Artists in the pursuit of the Creative Life. I’m Lauren and I started acting on stage at age 10. It was the one thing I thought I could do since I was not so great at math and science or sports that required any kind of hand-eye-ness. I navigated my high school years by (over) committing to show after show after show and followed that up with a BFA in drama from The Juilliard School. Professionally, I treaded the boards of theaters across the country from Providence to Houston to Berkeley, and loved every (or mostly) minute of it. After moving to Los Angeles and several years later achieving the age of 40, I realized that what I’d been doing “on the side”, teaching and coaching other Artists is what I was meant to do full time. I love being in the support business now and helping my students and clients move forward in their artistic calling. Check out the Services page to discover how I might be able to help YOU!
