Massage Therapist, Trauma Informed Yoga instructor,
Birth Doula
Lauren is the owner, director and co-creator of Centered.
She’s been practicing and teaching yoga and massage therapy for
over 18 years and has offered talks on health and wellness for
focus groups, the VA, Hospice, women in recovery, local hospitals
and universities. Prior to opening Centered, she was on faculty in
the massage and yoga programs at Lexington Healing Arts Academy and
currently teaches in The Essence of Yoga advanced teacher training
program and leads international yoga retreats. Her private practice
focuses on massage, yoga and a variety of other bodywork
modalities, including craniosacral, Thai massage, and movement
re-education. Lauren’s ongoing passions and practices include art,
yoga, meditation, breathwork, martial arts, mental health awareness
and advocacy. She particularly loves working with women and
families moving through life transitions, trauma and recovery as
well as children and infants with sensory, digestive and
neurological issues.
Lauren’s mission is to help spread the power and potential of
holistic care. Her belief and practice in promoting oxytocin as a
mechanism for healing is a defining characteristic of her work,
life and daily self care practices. She feels that self care is our
personally prescribed “medicine” and in today’s world, taking this
time each day is not selfish but rather necessary for our overall
health and well-being.

“There’s a culture at Centered of kindness, acceptance, and
celebration of our unique self. The more we’re able to celebrate
our own gifts the more we’re able to inspire others to allow their
gifts to be seen. As we lift ourselves up, we are lifting each
other up. We are all a work in progress: when we know better, we do
better.”
