Meet Lauren
Your personal guide for individuals, couples and small groups…
Hello! I am Lauren.
I love spending time with my 18 year old twin sons, my family and friends, being out in nature and visits with my partner Israel who lives in England.
I savour intentionally slowing everything down in a fast paced world. By slowing everything down I feel more aliveness, awe, beauty and real connection.
I skillfully use the power of breath and body awareness to bring transformational healing, and discovery to friends and clients I have the pleasure of working with.
I hold spaces of integrity, love and acceptance…
I have lead 12 Embodiment retreats and assisted several yoga trainings in USA England, France and in Africa.
I have extensive experience in providing yoga and breath-work for the military in our local area and also facilitating yoga in prison for women.
I thrive in holding spaces where we approach the body in a non demand way, with curiosity, wonder and open – mindedness.
As breath awareness returns to the forefront as our guide I notice more natural organic movement unfolds.
Not just because this way of practicing yoga and mindfulness feels better and relieves stress but also because it is a significant contributor to neuroplastic change!
I bring a nurturing, and trauma informed approach and hold spaces of non-judgement, and safe guidelines, where integrity, love and acceptance thrive.
Journey together into self awareness and expansive peace…
Through my work, clients learn tools to manage stress, to regulate emotions, and grow in curiosity and embodied aliveness!
They also find more empowered choice in relationships and all of life.
If you are looking for more ease, self acceptance, less stress, more joy and empowered living you are in safe hands.
I guide my clients on a powerful path of releasing blocks so they can open to and live their greater potential.
I invite you to browse the different modalities I offer and choose what feels just right for you.
I work with you, I listen to your intentions and create with you as we journey together into Self awareness, expansive peace and your authentic expression!

Our Values…
Wisdom of Breath was born out of my deep desire and calling to bring education and liberation through breath awareness, mindfulness, somatic sex education, nature, community gatherings, laughter, love and travel.
To create sacred space in a busy world, and to foster authentic connections in humanity.
My intention is to empower women and men, and bring forth the recognition of the interconnection, between the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual.
How can I be in integrity with my values, in every decision, every interaction, every moment, in every aspect of my business and my life?
How can what I think, say, feel and do be inspired and infused by my truth and my limits where joy and generosity thrive?
This is a question I am living in and it’s what fuels my offerings.
I have learned to trust that the answers will unfold as long as I stay clear and present with my values and connected to my truth and most importantly to my heart.
Integrity inspired and infused in truth
The heart of my offerings and vision is to create a bridge to a more peaceful, loving, thoughtful humanity.
In interactions to remember the power of vulnerability, and the recognition that mess ups happen in life, and the importance of accountability, and responsibility in repair.
This is what I believe creates a better world.
“Health comes from integration. It’s that simple… A system that is integrated is in a flow of harmony. Just as in a choir, with each singer’s voice both differentiated from the other singers’ voices but also linked, harmony emerges with integration.”
Offerings
We are a sanctuary where humans are supported in full bodied aliveness, and the remembrance of divinity. Offering monthly Certified yoga classes, breath-work, Self-empowerment through Certified Intimacy Education and educational retreats held in pristine locations.
