Jack W. College Student“I came to Lauren during a stressful time while I was finishing the last year of my undergraduate degree and taking a 2 1/2 month intensive study course for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). I was having trouble focusing on studying because my stress made it seem like my heart was pounding out of my chest and my head was abuzz with test-taking strategies and negative self-talk. I realized it wasn’t likely I was going to do my best on the test if I didn’t get help. I initially thought of going to a psychic, but I figured I would rather try to understand and address the internal causes of my stress and anxiety, so I decided to search Yelp for a Reiki Practitioner rather than look to the future for answers. I had never done Reiki, and Lauren’s 5-star reviews gave me the confidence to seek her services. My three Reiki sessions with her have far exceeded any expectations I had! She has provided a safe and supportive space for me to look within myself to recognize the internal struggles that have restricted my own sense of self-worth, how to appreciate those feelings for what purposes they initially served, and how to let them go in order to move on to a more confident and clear state of being. In addition to being talented at ‘holding space,’ she is a beautiful soul and a pleasure to be around. She also has recommended wonderful books, conscious/mindful music artists, a fun local crystal shop, and has provided intentions/mantras in email form after every Reiki session. She always seems to be glowing, and she never rushes an appointment. The feeling doesn’t seem to be one of business owner and customer, but rather a bond between two friends. She is always a joy. I would encourage anyone to share what he or she would like to get out of the experience before the Reiki session begins. Lauren allows for a one-on-one ‘download’ conversation before the session begins too. Also, don’t be afraid to ask any questions about what Reiki is or what the experience will be like. Lauren is happy to listen to you and answer any questions you may have. At the chance of sounding cliche, I feel like it was fate that brought us together. ”
Steve O. Conflict Resolution Negotiator“I am many things as all of us are…father, traveler, adventurer, and most of all working daily to enjoy and appreciate each day with the inevitable suffering that comes as well! Lauren is authentic. Her practice is sincere and based upon compassion and wishing her clients health and happiness. She provides a safe, ethical, and skilled practice to access the deep work of the soul. Reiki is not magic, but a wonderful tool to enhance our daily work to be more open, accepting, and surrender to the “is-ness” of what the Universe brings. Reiki allows for the possibility to go beyond the self-limiting voices that continuously judge and define as a means to control the uncontrollable. Reiki can be about personal peace, acceptance, and a tool to quiet the neurotic well rehearsed voices that keep us a bundled mass of conditioned tortured behaviors. Reiki is a very personal experience and not being at ease is totally ok and reasonable, as it was for me. Wonderful opportunities usually come with unease. Pick a safe, skilled, nice person like Lauren and be open to the journey of vulnerability and taking risks (reasonable risks of course!).”
Ann D. Business Owner at Yacht Haven Marina, Inc.“Lauren is the only Reiki practitioner I’ve ever worked with, but from my experience, she is outstanding. I choose to work with Lauren because she is accepting, warm, loving and kind. Reiki has given me confidence and clarity. Recently, the power Reiki helped bring into manifestation the realization of a new home featuring exactly what I had in my heart. The benefit of this was I was able to recognize it when it was available to me. I feel very grateful for all the support of Reiki. Give Reiki a try because it may help manifest your goals and dreams. It will help you to achieve your desired results.”
Steven B. Program Analyst“Lauren is genuine, caring, loving, and a gifted light worker. She’s just simply fantastic. I never felt like I was on an assembly line to be fixed with just a cookie cutter approach. Each session, she spent time getting to know me and my problems. Thanks to Lauren, I can also say that I have compassion and care for others.Reiki has kept me alive. Desperate for an answer, I turned to Lauren for Reiki, having no real clue what it was about. It has untangled many “thought knots.” Inasmuch as Reiki has been a source of comfort and healing, I credit Lauren herself as the greater influence. Through her healing, intuition and guidance, I no longer entertain the desire or thoughts to commit suicide. Make an appointment with Lauren if you’re like me and weren’t satisfied with conventional Western medicine approaches to provide physical/mental healing. I bet you’ll be surprised at what Reiki and Lauren can do for your body, mind, and soul.”
Lindsey B. douLABOR http://www.lindseybuttles.com“Lauren is that rare combination of intuition and strength. She is the ‘real deal’ that allows you to soften and become vulnerable in her presence without ever feeling judged. Reiki confirmed my intuition. I always knew that I was guided to work with women. Right as I was gearing up for my doula training, I had a session with Lauren. Before she knew of my most recent plans, she was able to clear the space and allow that to rise. She even told me that she saw me working with women and supporting them…little did she know:) You will be changed by the experience for the better. It will open you up to that little voice inside that speaks the truth.”
Samantha W.“I’m a mystic who also happens to be an allopathic physician (psychiatrist). As such, I’ve had opportunities to work with and receive healing, guidance and knowledge from a huge spectrum of individuals in healing professions, from traditional psychoanalysts to shamans and everything in between. Lauren stands out from the rest. During and after our session, she not only put me at ease and demonstrated that she genuinely cared about helping me, but she saw through the fog of my own limiting beliefs and past experiences to the heart of who I really am. She helped me to get back in touch with my own divine spark. After just one session, I was empowered to embrace my truth and my own power to create healing and restoration for myself such that I have made truly massive shifts in the few weeks that have followed. I’m deeply grateful, and consider her an inspiration and role model.”
Carla C.“I recently went to Lauren for a Reiki session and it was a great experience! I went in to see her because I was going through a rough time emotionally and also was in hope of relieving some pain from an injury. She guided me through meditation, which quickly put me at ease and relaxed me. When she began with the Reiki, I could feel the warm energy coming from her hands on each of my energy centers. Once she got to my heart center, I began to cry as soon as I felt the energy from her hands over my heart. It was as if I was being covered in a warm blanket full of love! It’s the only way I can describe it. It definitely helped heal past heartaches and unresolved emotions I had suppressed. My injury also improved, I have more movement than before I went in to see her. I definitely recommend anyone to get a Reiki session from her, it’s a healing experience that leaves you feeling lifted, peaceful, relaxed, and in a good mood.”
Sherry Yanagisawa“I have had a hard time dealing with my sons loss and Lauren has helped me understand that he’s always with me. My husband found Lauren online and I’ve been completely happy with her. Reiki has helped me get through my sons loss and given me tools to get through the rough times. I have learned to relax when it has been difficult for me going through memories.”
Victor Bautista Admissions Representative“Reiki has helped me rebalance my body, mind, and spirit. One morning I woke up and couldn’t walk. Doctors have no answers. Since I have met Lauren, I am much improved. I still use a walker, but at home I can walk on my own. Just awesome! Lauren is a truly gifted human being, but more importantly, a wonderful person who exudes love and light. Be open so you can be free.”
Cynthia A. Executive Assistant & Mother“My sessions with Lauren have taught me how to slow down, be grounded, and breathe. My life before Lauren/Reiki was unbalanced. I was bouncing from here to there and not thinking about me. She has helped me realign my life and I am very grateful. Lauren has a way of speaking so flowingly and calm. It is very comforting. She was recommended to me by a mutual friend and I have already sent friends to her and have more to come. I do tell them they have to be mentally ready to jump into this journey.”
Neal T.“Lauren has a gift of healing and intuitive skills in getting to the heart of your needs. Reiki has helped me manage pain and helped me to recover from some serious physical injuries and restore emotional and spiritual balance to my life that I didn’t even realize was off. Take a deep breath it won’t hurt and you may learn something about yourself you didn’t even know.”
Lisa Martinez Owner + Creative Director, Lark Artisan Market“Reiki has helped me tap into my confidence and feel grounded. It has helped turn my perspective (for the better) on my capabilities and purpose in life. It has instigated action in many directions, especially where it comes to relating with others and sharing positivity. Lauren has a calm demeanor. She can connect with you on an everyday level. You can truly feel that she is on your side and working hard to help you achieve your goals. I have recommended Lauren countless times. By the end of your time with Lauren, you practically “float” out of the session with a sense of calm and purpose.”
Bernie J.“Reiki has helped change it for the better. I had never heard of Reiki until just a few years ago, when I had a few sessions with Lauren. I could definitely feel the energy…this experience opened my eyes to even more spirituality…before I know it, here I am, a Reiki practitioner, after having taken Lauren’s weekend class. Lauren is awesome, and her sessions are awesome. The class was fantastic! I’d do it all over again! I’ve never experienced another Reiki practitioner. But I’ll tell you something — I’m really picky with who I spend time with, or who I trust to be with/around, even when carpooling somewhere, MUCH LESS for something like energy transfer or spirituality!! Lauren is simply a beautiful and amazing person. If you’d meet her you’d know exactly what I mean.”
Patricia R.“Lauren is a highly skilled Reiki Master. I had a Reiki session with her that was totally satisfying. From that positive experience, I chose to do my Master Class with her. She’s genuine, patient and very clear in her teaching. If you take a session or study with Lauren, you will learn a lot about yourself. She’s an excellent teacher.”
Cathy Y.“Lauren is a truly a gifted and extraordinary healer and teacher. I have been receiving Reiki sessions, as well as, started taking her Reiki class series. I was lucky, as her Reiki Level 1 was a small and intimate group for hands-on training. Her class was practical and theory/historical based. We need to know both to fully receive the full benefits of Reiki for our daily use and I also believe in aiding in personal sessions. We have worked together through Reiki to bring me to a higher level of awareness for my mind…body… and spirit for significant growth and healing in all areas. I truly feel more grounded. My connection and awareness to Source has been heightened. Reiki is assisting me with clearing and understanding small and enormous disturbances in my life. My intuition has been steadier. I know I am a seeker ….”When the student is ready, the teacher appears!” (Thank goodness!!!) I truly am grateful that the Universe miraculously brought Lauren into my life. Please be open & receive a session from Lauren for your own growth and healing, as you will be pleasantly surprised and blessed by this gift.”
Apryl Nicole Psychic Medium, Wife, and Mother of 4“Lauren has a calmness to her that is impossible to replicate. She is one of a kind. She inspires you to always be your highest good. Reiki has helped strengthen my connection to spirit. It has also helped me to become more in touch with myself. It reminds me to slow down and relax. When you take a Reiki Class, it will attune you to the energy. It will give you a sense of peace and healing that would be hard to achieve on your own. You will receive and radiate happiness and peace.”
Toby Gant, M.Ed., CHLC, RYT Holistic Intuitive Soul Coach http://www.shekholistic.com“I can’t say enough great things about Lauren! Lauren radiates pure LIGHT from every pore and fiber in her being. Lauren’s treatments provide healing benefits on every level: body, mind, and spirit. She is highly intuitive, knowing exactly what you need, yet very gentle and patient. Although she inhabits the body of a youthful angel, Lauren is an old soul, with wisdom, intelligence, and grace far beyond her years. Lauren’s Reiki trainings infuse her students with knowledge, strength, and confidence. This has been incredibly valuable to me along my journey as one who practices the healing arts. When you are with Lauren you are tapped into Source, no doubt about it.”
