Testimonials
"Living Breath was the container I searched for over 2 years. I was called to step into breathwork over 2 years ago. I looked into various trainings, did multiple discovery calls and wasn't finding the fit I was looking for. I knew to wait until it felt like full alignment and I am so glad I trusted the timing. When Lauren announced she was doing this training I was ecstatic. Her grounded, heart led approached matched what I was looking for. I dove in, with out question and that choice has been rewarded tenfold. The training itself, has a beautiful flow. My connection to my own breath became stronger, my practice deepened and I am now confident to lead others through the process of connecting to their breath and body. I am so grateful for this experience. It has expanded both my personal and client practice and is a beautiful enhancement to my offerings."

She carries such wisdom, and the way she teaches made everything feel clear, grounded, and meaningful. I left this course not only inspired but genuinely equipped and ready to begin my journey as a breathwork facilitator. This training opened something in me that I didn’t even realize was waiting to be seen, and I’m so grateful for the growth, confidence, and clarity it gave me. "
-Kellie
"I'm so happy I made the choice to sign up for The Living Breath course! The breathwork sessions alone are so transformative and powerful for every aspect of my life. I have received valuable insights and grown so much through the practice. The guide book for the course is very detailed and comprehensive including beautiful drawings of the muscles and organs of the respiratory system. Lauren's explanation of the course material in the learning sessions is very detailed and she brings all of the concepts to life with real world examples showing how they can be applied to facilitating breathwork. Lauren has a high level of integrity in all that she does and really has put her heart and soul into this course."
-Cappy
"Taking Lauren’s breathwork course was a transformative experience. From the very beginning, Lauren brought such a warm and kind energy to the space — she is incredibly approachable and makes everyone feel welcome and supported. You can immediately tell how much wisdom she carries, not just from her deep knowledge and qualifications, but from the passion she brings to her teaching. Being able to practice breathwork daily was such a gift. Lauren gave us the opportunity to not only learn the science behind the breath — like the anatomy, physiology, and traditional foundations, but also to really feel it, to connect with the healing and spiritual aspects of the practice. It was medicine for the soul. I left the course feeling more grounded, more connected, and incredibly grateful. Lauren is a remarkable teacher, and this course was a powerful experience I’ll carry with me for a long time. "
