a journey into the ether…

In ancient times, our relationship with scent was not as it is now. With the original definition of “parfum” meaning “through smoke” — nature’s aromatic molecules were once understood as a transit center between man and the divine. As plants were gathered and burned, wishes and prayers were carried up to the heavens as a means to communicate and receive information from the spiritual realms.

apprentice into the world of aromatic medicine + earth magic

Aromatic Alchemy is the only aromatherapy course of its’s kind. Taught by a certified aromatherapist with 8 years experience working with botanicals, it offers a window into understanding both the magical and medicinal uses of plant aromatics.

This class is an intuitive passageway to experiencing the vast energetic web that weaves through all of life. Using essential oils as the medium and vessel, you will explore the higher planes of consciousness that are found within— and in the world of nature.

An invitation into the realms of enchantment, magic, and inner knowing…

This 6-week online course is designed to collapse the modern-day perspective of essential oils, and reframe it from the ground up with the lost wisdom traditions of intuitive awareness and connection to nature.

With each weekly class, you will be both a student and a traveler.

Lauren is an aromatherapist, energy worker, natural born healer/wordsmith, and protector of the elemental realms. She is often described as an old soul with a strong inner knowing. Though she has many years of academic experience in the land of holistic health, her favorite credential is her ability to *stay true to herself* and retain her childlike wonder for life.

A love for fantasy + magic was ever-present for her growing up— and it only grew as as she began her studies in energy healing, botanical skincare, nutrition, and ancient wisdom traditions.

The consciousness leap that she experienced after working intentionally with essential oils was immediate. Her first aromatherapy class felt like a walk down memory lane— playing with the glowing amber bottles and creating her own recipes/formulas gave her a sublime feeling of joy, and a deep sense of “I have done this before.”

7 years later, she has merged her experience in intuitive development with foundational aromatherapy principles to take others on a journey within- finding deeper insight and wellbeing through the support of nature.
She currently lives on an organic farm in the Pacific Northwest where the lush waterfalls and moss forests speak to her daily. In these whispers, the high-voltage transmission of *Aromatic Alchemy* was created.

Testimonials

“I can’t think of a better way to invest in your well being than a healing session with Lauren. She has this magical way of tuning in and meeting you exactly where you are. She is extremely gifted with the most calming voice and touch. The sensory experience from the aromatics she uses transcend any experience I have ever had.. moving through emotions both pleasant and sometimes difficult and landing in a state of pure peace. I always leave my time with Lauren feeling more in tune with myself and thanking the heavens for this gifted goddess’s existence.”

JULIANNA

“Throughout our month of working together, Lauren's guided meditations and personalized healing sessions woke up my ability to see the magic of my existence. I had been sitting in uncertainty about my desire to have kids for 4 years, and my truth revealed itself in a crystal clear way through one of our sessions. I was also questioning my career path, and after a session I was able to sit with myself and the answer came through clearly. This is my first experience with energywork, and honestly, I'm blown away. Lauren is a beautiful soul and breath of fresh air. She really honors who you are, and where you're at in life."

KATE

"My virtual energywork session with Lauren was so encouraging and enlightening. Her warmth and openness made it easy for me to be my authentic self. During our session Lauren led me through the most powerful guided meditation I’ve ever experienced. I think about the truths I uncovered about my self during our session every day. If you’re ready to dig deep inside yourself I highly encourage you to spend some time with Lauren. You won’t regret it."

ANDREW

“Lauren has a unique ability to tell you exactly what you need to hear and will meet your energy 100% of the time. I only have to provide Lauren small snippets of my life and she fully understands how I am feeling and the best path forward to dismantle these stagnated energies. I really love the remote sessions because I am able to be in my own space where I can fully relax and let go. This has helped me recognize that you don’t have to be in a special location of “healing” in order to tap in with yourself. It can be accessed anywhere, anytime. Lauren has become a pivotal piece in my spiritual development and building a relationship with myself.”

LINDSEY

“There are some people who are just tapped in - Lauren is one of them. Immensely talented in her craft, we worked 1:1 together over the course of 6 months. During that time, I learned tools and strategies for attuning to and harnessing my own energy, and applying it in everyday situations. This included things like: learning to energetically ground in times I felt flighty or untethered; creating healthy energetic boundaries with others, and fine tuning the energetics and mindset of abundance in all aspects of my life, to better see my aspirations and dreams come into focus. When you work with Lauren, you feel seen and understood, without having to explain much. It’s an intuitive and compassionate talent that she has used to build a wildly success practice, and I’m deeply looking forward to many more future sessions with her..“

TORI

“Lauren is a stunningly joyful being. She holds playfulness in one hand and potency in the other. Her presence is remembrance. Through our work, my eyes opened up to the incredible beauty of what was right in front of me. And, all of the things that I had spent years trying to release effortlessly slipped away. There was no trap in transformation needing to be painful. It was incredibly nourishing and grounding. It was a homecoming. It was ceremony. This wasn't 'hard work'. This was the most easeful unfurling of self. I feel no desire to be something else, to do something else, to do better, to be better. I simply want to carry on living in joy, in my body, in nature, in knowing, in trusting, in gratitude.

HANNAH

“Lauren was able to actually get me to meditate in a meaningful way after years of failed attempts. She helped me to implement holisic practices in my day-to-day life that have greatly improved my awareness and gratitude.

KYLE

“Lauren is a bright light that the world desperately needs right now. Her ability to get to the heart of the matter allows space for healing from the ground up. She has the ability to be a strong mirror and has the keen, observing eye of an eagle. I have left our sessions feeling incredibly seen and validated. I've experienced radical shifts of energy after clearings with her. I was able to view things that had plagued me for years from a different perspective, and the ability to let that go was like coming up for air. She makes it abundantly clear that her desire to help others comes from a genuine place. Lauren is an incredibly gifted guide that has magic beyond her years.”

ABBY

“Lauren facilitates a truly medicinal experience. It is clear that this is an innate gift that she possesses and is meant to share. Almost immediately upon beginning our session, I felt a wave of relaxation move through my body. I’ve been navigating a relationship to chronic pain since I was a young child, and I have worked with probably hundreds of practitioners over the course of the last 20 years. Lauren is one of two people who have brought immediate ease to these very deep, stagnant aches that I’ve been experiencing daily for my entire life. Her offerings are imbued with sensations of warmth, tender connection, and gentle but potent unearthing of that which is ready to shift. There is so much old, deeply embedded discomfort that exists in my body that I feel begin to softly dislodge when I work with Lauren. I can’t recommend Lauren’s support and magic enough.”

KARA

“After being recommended to work with Lauren, I knew right off the bat that she was exactly what I needed after years of being energetically drained. Lauren's incredible empathy and intuition shone through as she taught me energy-maintenance through meditation and daily exercises. It has truly made a world of difference. I'm now able to work with my own coaching clients without the fear of being drained for the rest of the day. I now feel so strong and so helpful to people because of the work I did with Lauren. She applauds my unique way of doing things - it has given me so much confidence.”

I’ve never been interested in aromatherapy but for some reason really want to take this course.

This course is weaved with much more than aromatic education. If you are feeling the pull to take this course, that is a strong indication that you are meant to be a part of this journey.
