Lauren is dedicated to Tin Man’s mission of helping women find their way home. Having been a client herself, she knows firsthand the transformative power of going through one’s story in a safe place. Lauren has fifteen years of experience in recovery and uses her knowledge of the twelve steps and Heart language to guide women through their own story to find freedom, clarity, and peace in their relationships with themselves, God, and others. 

She feels her method of coaching is best viewed through the lens of Luke 5:30-32: 

“And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”

Having found healing from the pain of divorce, trauma, child loss, addictions, and broken relationships, Lauren feels it is her life’s calling to be a place of safety and a director of hope to the women in her care. 

When she is not working with women, Lauren can be found cooking exotic dishes, writing children’s books and poems, and laughing and singing with her husband (and fellow Tin Man coach) Jake, their baby Hadassah, and wayward dog, Lady.
