Hi! I’m Lauren. My journey to becoming a coach has been shaped by a mosaic of experiences – from the disciplined world of a trained ballerina where every step refined my focus, to navigating personal transitions and embracing new beginnings. I understand that life rarely follows a straight path, and it's often in the unexpected twists, like recovering from an injury or navigating significant life shifts like marriage and divorce, that we discover our deepest strength and resilience.

My time with the Peace Corps in Latin America further cemented my belief in the incredible human capacity for growth and adaptation, no matter the circumstances. These diverse chapters have not only enriched my life but have also equipped me with a profound empathy and unique perspective that I bring to every coaching relationship.

I believe in the power of focused guidance to navigate your life. I coach to empower people like you to identify your unique strengths, clarify your aspirations, overcome challenges, and create a fulfilling path. My approach is rooted in understanding your individual needs and co-creating a strategy that resonates with you. I'm here to walk alongside you, celebrating your progress and offering unwavering support.

I received my professional coaching training from the UC Davis Coaching for Life and Work Certificate Program, a rigorous program emphasizing practical application and ethical coaching principles. I am also a certified Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), demonstrating my commitment to the highest standards of the coaching profession. This certification ensures a comprehensive understanding of core competencies, professional ethics, and a commitment to ongoing professional development.
