Getting to know Lauren Porter

Hi there, I'm Lauren! As a Licensed Mental Health practitioner and Yoga Teacher steeped in embodiment and relationship work, I am deeply committed to helping you befriend your body, emotions, and all parts of yourself so that you can navigate and transform your struggles into opportunities for growth and awakening. My approach My approach is shaped by my lived experiences as a devoted mother, sister, daughter, friend, and an individual captivated by the mystery of human connection. It is also grounded in 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist and extensive training in meditation, psychotherapeutic approaches, Yoga, and attachment- and trauma-informed modalities. The journey we embark on together in Yoga practice and Embodiment, and Relationship Coaching involves cultivating an appreciation for how our unique perceptions and protective patterns manifest in our bodies and emotions. We achieve this by exploring our body’s postures, sensations, emotions, and the narratives we create about ourselves through movement, breath, visualization, and self-inquiry. As we deepen our awareness of the ways we move through the world, safeguarding our hearts, we begin to uncover what we are protecting: the parts of ourselves that long for inclusion. With regular practice, these disowned aspects and undigested experiences that we hold in our bodies and nervous systems start to integrate into the whole of who we are, leading to a profound sense of vitality, empowerment, fulfillment, and possibility. My focus My ideal clients are those who find themselves caught in the complexities of emotional and physical struggles, seeking a path toward healing and self-discovery. These individuals may be grappling with feelings of grief, depression, anxiety, or chronic fatigue, as well as experiencing social withdrawal, numbness, or challenges with boundaries.
