“I appreciate it so much that you never make me feel bad for being able to do so little. You always just meet my capacity where it’s at. I cannot begin to tell you how validating and helpful that is.”

“My daughter, who has social anxiety and hardly speaks to anyone, connected with Lauren so fast it was unbelievable. Lauren is one of the 5 adults she hugs (or touches in general) and 3 out of that 5 are family members... She is completely herself when with Lauren, no masking whatsoever. Lauren has this magical ability to connect with kids.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Lauren to anyone whose child needs more support. She picks up on a child's personality very easily and finds a way to connect with them practically the first session, which I believe has a huge part in her success.”

“My son has made really good progress at school and he recognises the need to self-regulate when feeling emotional. We notice a big difference if he doesn't see Lauren for some time! He is a much calmer and happier kid at home and at school.”

“Our family is grateful to have Lauren. We intend to continue working with her as long as she stays in this underserved area of need for children and people with developmental disabilities.”

"Working with Lauren is like hanging out with a friend.

I always feel comfortable and supported to be and act myself in our sessions. I've struggled with fitness and exercise my entire life; it's always been a chore. Now it's genuinely something I look forward to each week, with Lauren's support and knowledge. With a tailored plan that is always evolving to suit me and my body, I always feel supported to work on my health and fitness without any pressure. I also really, really appreciate how comfortable I feel to be my AuDHD self around Lauren; it's a very accepting and friendly environment.

I've learnt a lot from working with her, and I'm very grateful to have found a needle in a haystack."

"Before working with Lauren, the hardest and most distressing moments were watching how frustrated my granddaughter became when she felt scared and unsure. With Lauren's gentle and professional guidance, I saw how much more confident and safe she helped her feel.

Lauren was able to encourage my granddaughter to perform tasks at her own pace and ability. I have now developed strategies to allow her to perform tasks without both of us getting too frustrated and leading to failure.

By observing how Lauren interacts with her and encourages her to complete unfamiliar tasks, I was able to copy and employ these skills to help Abigail regulate her emotions and not become overwhelmed.

To watch a good professional like Lauren interact with a severely autistic child is such a privilege. At the end of each session, seeing how happy and confident she has become is pure joy."

"Lauren has been instrumental in my little guy's wellbeing and life. We first met her three years ago, and the difference she has made in his life and his social skills, as well as his strength and confidence when he was later diagnosed with an extremely rare autoimmune disorder, a diagnosis she was invaluable in helping us find, is something I wish I could put into words.

Her kindness, compassion, and professionalism are both inspirational and such a breath of fresh air. She embodies the concept of individual care. We have not and will never feel like a number. To her, we are people; my child is a whole person."
