I longed to discover and illuminate the truth of myself so I sought out any teacher who could help. I studied yoga, meditation, martial arts, Buddhism, and traditional Chinese Medicine.

Finally, in 2003 I found my root teacher, Mark Griffin. From the moment I met him I knew that he was what I had been looking for. He was an accomplished master in the non-dual lineages of both Kashmir Shavism and Buddhist Tantric traditions and had obtained a state of complete awakening called Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

I had the honor of working with Mark closely for 15 years. From him, I learned a completely transformative path of meditation that went beyond mindfulness into subtle realms of energy and consciousness.

Mark always encouraged us to study anything that could help us on our path. So while learning from him I also sought out additional methods for personal and spiritual development.

During this time I graduated from Emperor’s College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and became a licensed acupuncturist specializing in mental health and emotional wellbeing. As a yoga practitioner since age 14, I also did my 500 hour and advanced teacher training with Ana Forrest to learn her unique system that combined the physical transformation of Hatha yoga with the release of deeply held emotions and trauma.

The spiritual practices I was learning from Mark and the knowledge of trauma and the nervous system I was learning through these other methods and my own practice came together to create a complementary approach to real-world spirituality.

Through many years of illuminating my shadow and unconscious over and over again, I discovered that the root of suffering is separation from ones TRUE self and I found a path toward becoming whole in the midst of daily life.

In 2018 following the death of my teacher, I felt called to share the transformational power of what I had learned with more people.

I closed my successful practice in Malibu after 13 years as an acupuncturist and I got master certified in NLP coaching, Time Line Therapy®, and hypnotherapy to further aid the transformation of my students and clients.

My work today is the ultimate amalgamation of my 20 years helping thousands of people heal, combined with my transforming coaching modalities, meditation practice and spiritual experience.

Whether you’re an ambitious changemaker looking to increase your inner growth and outer impact, a serious seeker following your own spiritual path, or anybody who’s looking to understand themselves better, these tools and insights are the most precious gift I can give you.

With love and gratitude,

Lauren
