MENTORING
Remember the truth of who you are…
For women longing to truely be themselves.
I offer intimate, client-centered mentorship designed to help you cultivate self awareness, clarity and greater capacity - so you can approach life transitions, relationships, your feelings, parenting, career and daily life with more flexibility, ease, confidence and deep trust.
My support provides you with a safe space to begin to deeply understand yourself. From this growing self awareness you powerfully craft the inner and outer world that you are most willing to experience.
The clarity that grows over time helps you build a strong foundation of self nourishment. You are held and supported to make space for yourself to become free from the constraints of conditioning, to slowly transform and embody the ‘whole’ of who you are.
I trust your innate wisdom about your own life. My role is to create a supportive environment and offer skilled guidance as I walk alongside you with presence, compassion, and steadiness.
I aim to help you fine tune the tools and processes needed to best support yourself ongoing.
What happens in our mentoring sessions?
I will always arrive fully present and grounded. I do not bring my own agenda into this space - I am open, curious and ready for what you have arrived with on the day.
I will gently support you to experience a natural sense of ease and equilibrium. This foundation of inner balance makes it possible for you share what is most alive and significant to you. As we explore together, feelings will naturally emerge, they are all welcome.
Processing and healing can take place safely and attentively.
I will help you connect with the parts of yourself that need care and understanding with full compassion and empathy.
When you feel safely held ~ emotions are processed. You naturally move into the executive region of your brain which holds the genius for your greatest unfolding. This is where you access your best ideas. Answers to questions emerge, confusion turns into clarity, solutions come to mind, insights are enjoyed and you are connected to your whole loving self.
An issue can still be an issue, but they way you now view it ~ and feel about it ~ is transformed.
As we move forward together, I’ll continue sharing knowledge, practices, and insights to best support your growth, personal needs and healing.
Each session is 60mins via zoom or over the phone.
I bring into our mentoring container 20+ years of study and experience over many relevant fields. This wisdom and knowledge is weaved naturally into all my sessions.
I offer a complimentary initial - ‘it’s good to feel’ strategy session. Email lauren@thelifepod.com.au to book in.
I am highly trained to help people feel better while fully honouring their emotional experience.
My specialty is…
Providing effective ways to respond to stress and anxiety.
Developing emotional awareness
Improving communication.
Helping you cultivate new patterns of thought, emotion, and ways to take action.
Increasing self awareness.
Supporting all parts of you including younger parts.
Re-sensitizing to your body and balancing your whole physical system (not only your nervous system).
Supporting you to be your ‘whole self’ and living a life led by your soul rather than conditioning.
I am certified through The Center for Emotional Education and hold an Advanced NeuroEmotional Mentor and Educator Certification. I have been working with the Center for the last 8 years and continue to train and partner with them in an ongoing capacity. This work is my primary focus and underpins everything that I offer. At the Center we believe in neurological empowerment. The moment-to-moment state of our neurochemistry determines how we think, and feel, and act. When we know how to shift our nervous system and process feelings, we shift our internal chemistry and we powerfully change our lives!
I am currently studying a Bachelors of Counselling at The University of Notre Dame, Australia.
A comprehensive list of qualifications are below.

“Lauren my beloved mentor hears through my words to my underlying truth; and not only knows how to truly deeply entirely support me, but also knows how to see who I really am, and to let me know that she sees me. Because Lauren is my mentor, I feel less alone; and because Lauren is my mentor, I am more and more and more able to navigate my most difficult moments. She is highly trained, exceedingly competent, and always reliable. Each session with Lauren is the most honest and simultaneously the safest hour of my week. Talking to her is like being in a liminal space in which everything is as it should have been for me.” - Sue Preneta
Hi Lauren, thank you so much for the message. Your words are so incredibly healing and it’s so nice to be heard without any judgement.
All of this makes so much sense, and I’m finding the breath work is calming my nervous system more each day.
Thanks you for this incredible support. Lots of love xx

“My mentoring sessions with Lauren felt like a warm safe cocoon with an old friend but wise teacher . Felt incredibly seen & heard & understood (the importance of which cannot be overstated). Lauren knows the art of deep listening , creating & holding space , and deep empathy . Never felt silly for expressing myself , and felt comfortable enough to share very deep , internal Feelings & thoughts . Sessions were like very personal therapy with an incredibly compassionate teacher .
Learning about brain states & emotional regulation was enlightening.
My ‘aha’ was: It’s insane that we’re not taught about these things through any formal education in our lives.
Imagine what type of world we might live in if everyone could regulate themselves better! This is life training . SO important. And very practical. Not always easy though - I realised, in my 40’s, that I hadn’t been taught the language and skills to identify my own feelings and needs. All your relationships can be so much more enriched if you have these skills. It doesn’t happen overnight though, like most things in life, you need to practice & Lauren provides that practical support. To help you continue to go deeper.
This really is such important work that Lauren is doing / offering. It’s inspired me to make sure my son grows up in an environment where he feels seen, heard & understood, and is skilled at identifying his emotions and needs. What a gift to the world !

“A true inspiration, Lauren is someone I have come to know and deeply value over 12+ years. She is compassionate, kind-hearted, strong, wise, understands me, and human beings in general. She's always present in our sessions, a great listener, with practical solutions while being supportive and nurturing.
During our mentoring sessions she taught me more about myself than ever, with helpful techniques I can use daily when confronted with situations that might arise from my past or during stressful moments in day to day life.
I’m forever grateful for Lauren and highly recommend her. I look forward to continuing this relationship in the future as she constantly teaches me, provides the right support and is an amazing person who I can always count on and trust.”
