I’m Lauren! I’m glad you’re here.

Around the same time, I was beginning to experience the depth of therapy and Internal Family Systems work. It was helping me reconnect with myself in profound ways—but I also found myself wishing I could bring everything together: the psychological, the somatic, and the intuitive.

That became the beginning of this work.

Today, I integrate astrology, Reiki, energy work, and intuitive guidance with a deeply embodied, parts-aware approach. I don’t see intuition as something outside of us. It’s something we return to via our healing process and in relationship with the body. Many of the people I work with already know, somewhere deep inside, that they are intuitive. But like I once did, they doubt themselves. They override themselves. They stay in patterns that disconnect them from their own knowing.

This work is about coming back into trust with yourself. Not as an idea, but as a lived, felt experience. It’s about being able to discern what a part of me versus what is an intuitive knowing.

As that trust returns, something begins to shift: relationships become clearer, choices feel more aligned, and life starts to move in a way that feels less forced and more true.

I see clients in Portland, Oregon (John’s Landing) and virtually all over the world. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, poly-aware, and fat positive. I hold lived experience with infertility and IVF, and I support clients navigating those experiences with care and understanding. I am white, Jewish, and queer. I live in deep companionship with my two border collies, my partner, and the magical plant and animal spirits around me.

I was a highly sensitive, intuitive child. I saw, felt, and knew things I didn’t have language for—and often, no one around me seemed to notice in the same way.

When I was eight, I became convinced I had diabetes. I remember insisting my mom take me to the doctor. I didn’t have it.
A few weeks later, my sister was diagnosed.

No one told me my intuition was wrong, but something in me learned it might be dangerous. I began to associate knowing with fear—like if I trusted what I sensed, it could somehow bring harm to the people I loved.

Over time, I shut that part of myself down. I asked my spirit guides to go away. I learned how to be someone who looked outward for answers instead of inward.

For years, I did what I thought I was supposed to do. I sought validation outside myself, tried to shape myself into something more acceptable, more certain, more contained. I changed my body. I changed my choices. I tried to earn a sense of safety.

But none of it created the connection I was longing for.

When I received my first astrology reading, something in me softened. I felt seen in a way I hadn’t in years—not just understood, but recognized. My intuitive nature wasn’t something to fix or fear; it was something that was already written into who I am.

I adore learning in many forms. Here’s a bit about my training and education:

  • I started teaching yoga in 2011, and I have literally thousands of hours of yoga training, including trauma-informed yoga from the Justice Research Institute.

    I have a Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy from Seattle University.

    I’m Level 1 & 2 trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy, and I am certified. Being IFS certified means I have practiced IFS a minimum number of years and hours, and the IFS institute has reviewed my work and agrees I know what I’m doing.

    I hold a certificate from California Institute of Integral Studies in Psychedelic Therapies and Research

    I have specific training from the Moxie School on IFS + Psychedelic Therapy. I also served as a teaching assistant in the Moxie School, helping folks integrate IFS and psychedelic medicines.

  • I’m deepening my intuitive abilities through studying animal communication with Hannah Hadley.

    I’m studying dream interpretation with Ariella Dally.

    I’m spending lots of time learning Native American flute and handpan, as well as reconnecting with my love of singing.

    I consider plants and spirit beings to be my greatest teachers of all time.

“My experience with Lauren was fabulous and deeply meaningful! She is a master at her craft and helped me connect with some of the current themes in my life in a refreshing and energizing way. I loved that she was able to help me see a deeper layer to my birth chart that I hadn’t explored before, and I’ve had several chart readings in the past. Her intuition and communication make astrology feel easy to integrate and her style is warm, funny, and caring! She also gave me some great information about upcoming cycles in my life that I will be paying close attention to! Lauren is wonderful and I would recommend a chart reading with her to anyone!”
