Hey, I'm Lauren!

What if the thing that could help you heal looked more like play than work?

That's the question that changed my life.

In 2019, I found myself battling chronic stress, depression, and an unexplained illness that lasted more than a year. Although I had earned a B.S. in Psychology and a Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling and spent years studying the connection between the mind and body, but somewhere along the way I had become disconnected from my own well-being.

Then I picked up a hula hoop.

I wasn't searching for a workout. I was searching for joy.

After one awkward attempt that ended with me bumping into the wall, I laughed, started dancing, and made a promise to myself: I would move to one song every day until I found my way back to myself.

That simple commitment became the beginning of my healing journey.

As I continued to explore the power of intentional movement, I combined my professional background with my certifications in holistic modalities to create a unique approach to healing through joyful movement.

Today, I'm known as The Hula Empress, and I've had the privilege of helping thousands of women reconnect with themselves through hula hoop wellness experiences, transformational retreats, workshops, and community.

Whether we're spinning together at a retreat in Bali, gathering for a wellness event, or connecting in my inner circle, my mission is the same:

To remind women that healing doesn't have to feel heavy.

It can feel playful.

It can feel freeing.

It can feel like coming home to yourself.

I believe every woman deserves to experience a life filled with more joy, more movement, and more moments that make her feel fully alive.

Welcome to the circle.

I'm so glad you're here.
