"As someone with ADHD who also coach’s others with ADHD, the resources and tools I gained from the Equilibrium program have been invaluable. Emotional regulation and nervous system management can be particularly challenging for those with ADHD, and I’m excited to share these techniques with my clients. Lauren’s calm, heart-centered approach created a truly inclusive space that valued everyone’s unique needs and preferences.
If you’re considering Equilibrium, give yourself the gift of attending this course—it’s an experience that will enrich your life in meaningful ways."

"I enjoyed and appreciated being invited and not feeling forced it was perfect I hope it doesn't change. I loved how everything was invitational and not expected of us to take part.
The sessions were relevant and meaningful, full of love the journal work, yoga sessions. This retreat reminded me of all the things I need to do for myself if I am not looking after myself how can I look after others."

I can't recommend Lauren's services enough. I've now had two sessions with her and she is such a warm and welcoming person. There is no judgement whether you're a newbie or experienced. I was unsure how to book a session and what I wanted and she was very helpful and very quick to respond to my questions.
There is something truly genuine about Lauren. Both times I have met her, I have received messages that have felt more genuine and relevant to my experience than could be explained by chance. I have come away from her cacao and sound bath ceremonies with a new perspective on problems and how I can view my life, my connections with others, and my own agency within it.
Thanks so much Lauren!
