Welcome.

I’m Lauren, the founder and practitioner at Inner Life Aligned. If you’d like to learn more about my background and training, you'll find those details in the sections below.

Principles that guide my work:

  • Everything is energy. Energy follows attention and intention.

  • The body is innately intelligent and has the capacity to heal itself when we create the conditions that allow it to do so.

  • There is no single formula for health or success, and no final state of arrival.

  • The laws of the universe operate regardless of our beliefs and opinions about them. Energy work can be equally helpful for skeptics.

  • Conscious awareness is an important part of the journey, yet the subconscious mind is exponentially more powerful. It will either thwart or support our best intentions, so subconscious alignment is an essential part of lasting change.

  • Symptoms are signals that the body needs help. When symptoms are ignored or suppressed, we tend to end up with louder signals and bigger problems down the road.

  • No life exists without challenges. As children, we have limited choices. As adults, it becomes a question of whether we want to be challenged by our growth, or by the consequences of our resistance to change.

  • The point of power is in the present moment. When we’re bogged down by energetic weight from the past, it is much more challenging to stay focused here and now. Presence gets easier after we’ve unburdened ourselves from the past.

  • Anything can be used as a means of growth, or as a means of distraction. Our level of presence and our intentions are the determining factors.

  • I’m a certified Emotion Code®, Body Code™, and Belief Code® Practitioner and a PSYCH-K® Preferred Facilitator. I have more than two decades of experience working with archetypal systems and holistic approaches that support personal and spiritual development.

    After decades of investing in traditional forms of inner work, I’d cultivated a very broad perspective and a massive toolbox of coping skills. Still, I frequently found myself stuck in old patterns. Because my challenges were rooted in unresolved trauma and subconscious limiting beliefs, PSYCH-K and Emotion Code were the tools that finally helped me create the shifts I'd been seeking for years.

    I believe there are four essential keys to facilitating transformational work: personal integrity, embodied presence, conscious intention, and divine connection. For me, these are not just professional standards; they are the foundations of my life.

    I work with people who are ready for change, using the most efficient and graceful tools that I’ve found. They happen to be the same tools that changed everything for me. It is a joy to share them with others.

  • My commitment to inner work began as a teenager, when my life nearly went off the rails. I was carrying (and acting out) a storm of unprocessed anger, fear, and grief. An unpleasant wake-up call forced me to see that I was standing at a very real fork in the road. I adopted the mantra, “nothing changes until you do,” and successfully turned my life around.

    In adulthood I followed a more traditional path and spent many years working in non-profit FP&A, including more than fifteen years with National Geographic Society. During those years, the bulk of my free time was spent learning, training, and practicing in ways that prepared me for the work I’m doing now. Eventually I knew it was time to make a different kind of contribution and followed that calling.

    At some point I will share a more detailed version of my story. For now, suffice it to say that I have experienced my share of inner conflict, anxiety, disconnection, heartbreak, and loss. I have also experienced my share of love, joy, connection, contentment, and awe.

    My life is now much more rooted in the latter. This was driven by my intentional responses to life’s challenges over time, and the willingness to keep changing. With an earnest desire, anyone can do the same. Thankfully there are many wonderful paths to get there.
