Lauren's sessions are unique & creative from the way she weaves yogic philosophy, mythology, embodied movement, zenthai shiatsu, TCM knowledge & her own experience into her teaching & treatments. Lauren had the privilege of teaching and offering treatments at some of the biggest festivals in Australia (such as Splendour in the Grass, Bluesfest, Earth Frequency, Elements Festival, and many more ...) and Europe (Garbicz, Evolve Festival..)

You can expect to explore the landscapes and the physiology of the human body in a fun, meaningful and transformative way. Many have said “her touch is like a felt prayer” and have felt inspired to dive deeper into their souls purpose post the experiences she offers.

Her training with Gwyn began 7 years ago, and was a slow and steady progression towards further training as she was inspired to dive into multiple fluid flow trainings, level ones, the 9 month therapist training & assist on therapist trainings in Australia such as the Northern Rivers and Melbourne. She has supported Level One training's in the Sunshine Coast with Gwyn, Melbourne with Sally, Northern River with Merryn and recently co-facilitated the level one in Berlin with Valentina, and a second with Natan.

She is very much looking forward to facilitating her own Level One training in Berlin this coming April 2026, and is currently offering regular movement classes, workshops and Zenthai Shiatsu treatments in Berlin.

Lauren deeply cares about supporting people to feel more connected to themselves, others and nature, and helping people to build capacity to take their loving hearts into the world and make a difference.

Lauren says...

“"Movement has always been my therapy. I remember being 5 years old, closing my door, dancing in my room to move my emotions - around the same time, as a child I remember closing my eyes after my dance practice and focusing on the "black behind my eyes" and hypnotising myself to get to sleep, by saying repetitive words. From my early childhood years, I developed a fascination into how I could change my state through movement, music and stillness. Still today 32 years later, this is what I breathe through my work. Offering bodywork too me, isn't a job - it's my purpose. Through my childhood, many commented on my "magic hands" - though it wasn't until my early 20's I really started to recognise this in a deeper way, when people close to me began having quite profound experiences. When I met Gwyn, I was feeling like I wanted to support people in a deeper and more intimate way. The Zenthai path really swallowed me whole, and as I continue to walk this path - alongside the most incredible global community - I get to experience the biggest gift in my treatments. Having people feel safe with me to open up, trust and let go. Zenthai for me is a dance with spirit, an opportunity for us to reconnect to our true essence as humans and the purest form of connection. Communication that defies language, race, borders, religion - is what lights me up. This is exactly what Zenthai Shiatsu is for me. The more I dive in, the less I feel like I know - and when I feel this, I know I'm in the right place; because the persistent curiosity and fascination in the body and in people, I know - is the kind of curiosity that supports a more open hearted and open minded way of living. My background in dance and musical theatre has inspired me to explore my space holding as a story unfolding, a dance with nature blossoming and a song for the heart to sing along with"

Reflections from clients...

"" I am so inspired with how you teach, guide movement and emotions. I feel so seen and heard with you. Your knowledge on TCM has helped me so much. I'm sp grateful for the Level One Training. It truly inspired me and opened up so much inside of me. Thank you so much for your time and energy. You have inspired me so deeply Lauren <3 in the way that you give treatments, hold space and the way you teach yoga"
– Emi (Yoga Teacher).

"A treatment with Lauren is so much more than a massage, it’s a spirit-affirming, soul-grounding journey . She was intuitively able to recognise I was holding onto a stifling energetic blockage and created the safe and nourishing container that allowed me to fully release and move through the emotions that came up. Continuing to work with Lauren has allowed me to reset my frazzled nervous system and start show up in my life 🫶🏻♥️"
– Taryn Hunter (Marketing Specialist)

"I was lucky enough to go on a life changing re
treat run by the beautiful Lauren in the hinterlands of Byron Bay. I had never done yoga before but Lauren gave me so much guidance and time on my wellness journey. I learnt so much about myself and it was truely 2 weeks I will remember for the rest of my life. Thanks so much Loz and I can’t wait to do my next retreat with you!"
