Holistic Psychotherapy
Lauren graduated with a Master in Psychotherapy, Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics in 2002 and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology. The integration of these holistic and scientific approaches enables psychotherapy to be applied through a somatic-cognitive approach, uniquely focused on physiology, nutrition, neuroscience, and early childhood development.
Holistic psychotherapy can be utilised effectively for people of all ages, couples and family counselling.
Embodiment is central to Psychotherapy at Free your Body and is used to antidote dissociative states resulting from the habits of modern life, post-traumatic stress as well as other psychological challenges and decisions.
In this way, we can learn to be free from mental and physical pain, addictions, and traumas and learn to love ourselves again.
Walk and Talk Therapy
I listen and walk side by side with you in the beautiful outdoors, as you explore how to be happier within yourself, and in your relationships.
The power of nature therapy can help create new neural networks and through movement, boost feel good hormones and expression. I am available to you in Coastal locations across the Gold Coast and can also join you on your favourite walking spot.
My primary focus as a qualified Psychotherapist is to empower, inform and reconnect you with your full potential to be your most vital self. Free from addictive patterns of behaviors. I combine a holistic approach of both traditional and evidence-based medicine and advanced tools to address the root cause of illness allowing you to improve your health and well-being on every level.
Naturopathy & Sports Nutrition
Having first trained in Nutrition, food as medicine is always at the foundation of any recommendation.
Free Your Body follows traditional naturopathic principles combined with current research and integrative medical innovations. It is important to keep abreast of the abundant information coming from biomedical, nutritional and natural products research, and are happy to see the increasing scientific underpinnings in areas of traditional naturopathic practice – such as lifestyle medicine, nutritional science, phytomedicine, the gut and the microbiome.
I love my herbs! And they can play a very important role in healing. How we are different is that we will primarily use mindset, Food as medicine and herbal medicine first as these lay the foundation of where healing truly begins rather than looking for a band-aid effect.
Mindful Microdosing
