Training
Lauren grew up in Kingston, Jamaica until she was 16, and then moved to Toronto, Ontario before she moved to Victoria 3.5 years ago.
She did tons of sports growing up – golf, tennis, ballet, tap, swimming, horseback riding, netball, badminton, and table tennis.
Currently loves being active as she has traveled all over Asia – China, Bali, India, Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, and lived in Japan for 6 months. She is excited to expand her travel destinations to Europe as as only been to Portugal.
In her past life experiences she has been a writer, a commercial producer, a bartender, and a door to door sales person just to name a few jobs. But her favourite career is being an acupuncturist by far.
Lauren has a strong foundation in holistic wellness and a deep passion for promoting health and healing. She loves all things movement, anatomy, astrology, travel, design, food, and building her community!

Music
Totally mood dependent, but good beats and a smooth groove is all I need – R&B, rap, reggae, dancehall, blues, Motown, jazz, EDM, disco just to name a few.
Movies She Loves
I used to work in commercial production so I love to watch most movies, but I love the work that goes into action movies and fantasy/sci-fi with great writing. But really I’ll watch anything intriguing with a good story.
Often heard saying
“I hear you” or “Fair enough”

Super Human Trait
My friends say that I ask thought provoking questions and have the ability to break down complicated ideas into simple terms. But I was going to say that I can whip up a mean cocktail out of anything you have in the fridge.
