LAUREN

Lauren holds a Bachelor of Science in Child Development with an extensive background in Psychology from California Polytechnic State University. Like many, Lauren has experienced many personal health struggles which have continued to cause a myriad of challenges in her life. These challenges, together with contradictory treatment and a sense of being unheard served as catalysts for what has now become a transformative journey. Her experiences have given her a unique perspective on health and a desire to support others in developing the confidence they need to navigate their own health difficulties with empathy and resilience. 

Lauren is currently enrolled at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition to receive her Holistic Health Coach certification with hopes of continuing this education to become a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). Throughout this time, she has come to recognize that well-being encompasses not just physical health but also mental, emotional, and spiritual harmony. She has also become especially interested in low-toxic and sustainable living.

As a dedicated team member in Operations, Lauren contributes to ensuring efficient and organized functioning at Saffron & Sage. Her role extends to supporting the healthcare professionals and practitioners in their mission to provide holistic care. 

In her free time, Lauren becomes immersed in the world of literature, exploring new worlds and gaining new perspectives through books and journaling. Her creative side also thrives through cooking, by experimenting with gluten-free recipes, and through the art of sketching and painting. She also loves engaging in outdoor activities like nature walks and camping. These passions collectively bring her joy and fuel her love for life.
