A Note from Lauren:

Your life is your story. My role is to help you write the best last chapter that you can imagine, to listen deeply, honor your choices, and hold space with tenderness for whatever you experience.

We all must face parts of the dying process on our own. But that does not mean we need to walk the entire path alone.

If you’d like to explore working together, I invite you to reach out and begin the conversation.

With gentleness,
