My name is Lauren. I’m happy to connect with you.

Since graduating from Oxford University with a Masters in Modern Languages, my experience has been as diverse and colourful as a gypsy quilt. It’s probably easier if we throw all normal notions of ‘fitting into a box’ firmly out the window. I am a creative through-and-through, a thinker and a doer. Practical yet visionary, multi-tasking and multi-talented, fluent in 4 languages, I am experienced at curating stellar content, experiences and teams across global markets, developing new businesses and cultivating communities. A cosmic connector, my approach is always rooted in consciousness and a care for the collective. And at the heart of everything i do, a story awaits to be explored, told, shared.

My passion for people and hospitality has led me from writing and editing for travel magazines such as Monocle, Conde Nast Traveller & Elite and managing editorial strategies for brands, to developing unique hotel projects around the world, often with private families and trail-blazing individuals.

In recent years, i trained as a healer and Kundalini Yoga teacher. Why? Because activating human potential is my passion and I finally found techniques that inspire, empower and support me everyday to be the most joyful and successful entrepreneur, woman, & friend. They are too good not to share, so you will often find me coaching change-makers & entrepreneurs while consulting on wellbeing & hospitality projects around the world and just about finding the time to write about it all.

My bet to you is this: in one way or another, i can help you; from unlocking your power and potential in your career or love life to helping you create & communicate the very best of your current vision or project, i come with more than a little bit of magic.

So don’t be shy to drop me a note, and let’s find out.

Two of my favourite tools when I catch myself projecting anxiety or trapped in a negative thought pattern is to immediately stop and just say,
