Pachamama
Pachamama is a goddess revered by the indigenous people of the Andes. She is also known as the earth mother. In Inca mythology, Mama Pacha or Pachamama is a fertility goddess who presides over planting and harvesting. Pachamama reminds us to invite ritual into our lives, as ritual feeds and nourishes the soul. It’s a sequence of actions rooted in specific intentions that allow for deeper connection with our inner spirit and nature.

ClientSitting with Lauren as she navigates through her abundant supply of natural allies, was an experience like no other I felt so comfortable in the serene space she provided and really enjoyed the questions she presented me. I was amazed with the processes of identifying what was right for me, formulated through answering simple questions about where I am, where I want to be, and what, if anything, I would want to release. I know her sessions are different for each individual, which dictates what thoughtful questions she poses, but I believe that they are customized for optimal benefits. I loved working with her as she helped me explore my true self. I love her technique and talent. It felt so effortless and I left feeling so uplifted from the whole experience. She has a true skill and her love for her medicine. Her ability to care for others and their well being is something that I hope others will find to be contagious. I felt a true connection with her and the plants as we laughed, opened up, and moved forward on our paths with new strength and support from the medicine. I absolutely loved my session with her and highly recommend it, for whatever your life presents you.
