Lauren Claflin, Holistic Mind Body Practitioner
The long and winding road Lauren traversed to Compassion Fix often seemed more like a multi-lane highway than a peaceful scenic route. Juggling freelance writing and event planning with the happy chaos of raising four busy kids — and all the volunteer work and side hustles that accompany that — kept life at a manageable frenzy. But a constantly hectic life can become a free pass that provides the perfect excuse not to look too closely at your own goals. Lauren’s next purpose kept whispering to her, but a louder inner voice was shouting “it’s too late.”
It wasn’t too late … and once Lauren overruled those fearful voices, she went back to school to study neuroscience and the amazing power of our mind-body connection. One of the many transformative things she learned was DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK. Beliefs are repeated thoughts, not objective truth, and those thoughts often keep us stuck in a cycle that doesn’t support our dreams or our happiness. But thanks to neuroplasticity, we can change our brains with new repeated thoughts. And when we change our thoughts, we change our lives.
Now Lauren is a fully certified mind/body practitioner and holistic health and life coach, and she loves helping people change their lives. She works with clients as they learn to overcome their stress, fear and anxiety, identify and release trauma, challenge and reframe outdated stories and limiting beliefs, manage hormonal and gut health, escape the waiting place and get unstuck, find their true purpose, and set a path forward. It’s not too late to LOVE your life …sometimes you just need a safe space and gentle guidance to remember how.
Outside of the work Lauren loves so much, she makes her life as intentionally joyful as possible by savoring time with close family and friends. She loves yoga, reading, music, and moving around outside as much as possible. She can frequently be seen exploring Kansas City with her people as they search for the coolest coffee shops in town. Lauren also adores traveling… and she’ll choose the peaceful scenic route over the multi-lane highway any chance she gets.
