Meet Lauren!
I've battled anxiety-induced depression my entire life, finding that while talk therapy helped me process my past, it wasnβt enough to carry me to my goals for the future. Medications brought side effects, and being the only Black woman in many workspaces kept me in a constant state of fight or flight due to deep-rooted emotional wounds and terrible stress-coping skills. Everything changed when I discovered the power of nervous system regulation and resilience.
These science-backed tools transformed my life, and what I love most is that they only take 5 minutes a day. Now, as a certified neurological fitness trainer with expertise in somatic exercise, neuroscience-based mindfulness and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, my mission is to help employees learn to speak the language of the nervous system, increasing their capacity for stress and transforming their response to it.
With over 18 years of experience as a retired professional athlete, ex-financier, and DEI + culture consultant, I've honed my expertise in culture assessment, productivity & performance, behavioral change, organizational transformation, data collection, and well-being.
I've successfully served clients across a wide range of industries, from tech to retail, delivering results grounded in data-driven metrics, collective collaboration, and heightened awareness.
