Lauren coaching philosophy

During her journey to Olympic gold, Lauren’s focus was always a holistic one. She was a knowledge-seeker, always finding experts who could assist her to be the best athlete she could be. The pursuit to perform on the world stage as a vegetarian athlete in the -49kg category during a time when most dietitians told her it couldn’t be done, culminated in her passion and love of practical and simple strategies to fuel the body for optimal energy and vitality.

Lauren’s clinical experience as a naturopath and nutritionist combined with her experience in high performance brings a truly unique offering. Her PhD research included interviews with Olympic and world champion athletes, along with a variety of elite and pre-elite athletes. This work unpacked the mindset and psychological attributes of this elite group. Lauren’s skill is being able to apply those skills to everyday life in practical real-world application.

Her sessions include implementing planning strategies to remove the drainers and bring clarity and purpose which is aligned to your core values.
