Client Feedback

“I reached out to Lauren for help managing my thyroid disorder and its side effects after years and years of seeing numerous doctors and trying different medicine.

Lauren was kind, she listened, offered books to read, took a detailed intake of my symptoms, medical history, condition, tests and medicine/supplements I had been using. She provided me a detailed plan on food I should focus on eating to better help manage my symptoms and supplements to take too.

After a few months of following her personalized plan for me I'm feeling so much better! Less brain fog, increased metabolism and my anxiety has abated. I highly recommend working with Lauren if you're tired of working with conventional doctors who only treat symptoms and not the root cause.”

“I could not be more pleased and impressed by my experience with Lauren on my wellness journey. Having battled various issues with my skin and some suspected hormone imbalances much of my life, I decided it was time for a different more holistic approach. After a thorough discussion about my health, we began to tackle my concerns.

Lauren listened and asked questions that helped her better understand my ailments. She reviewed all of the information we covered in my consultation and promptly followed up with her recommendations and plan of care. It was evident she is skilled in fitting the pieces of you together as a whole as opposed to just treating a symptom in isolation. 

I am happy to say that after diving deep into my health and adhering to Lauren's recommendations, I am seeing great results. ”

“As an herbalist and plant-person, I'm incredibly sensitive to those I work with surrounding my own health journey. Working with Lauren in a 1:1 capacity was a true gift. Not only did I feel seen and heard, which is incredibly healing in itself, but I received strategic, clear, and manageable feedback and guidance about how to proceed after our meeting.

Lauren's presence is both serious and joyful, which is a hard balancing act, but is so important when making a client (me!) feel secure in our conversations. Thank you, Lauren! Not only was my health woe resolved, but I received additional health benefits from this container.

If you're looking for a wise and wonderful herbalist to guide you on your journey, seriously, book a consult.”
