About Lauren
I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to help you understand yourself from the deepest level. The root of who you are – your nervous system.
For a long time, I believed something was fundamentally wrong with me. On the outside I could hold it together — socially, capable, moving through life. But inside I felt anxious, reactive, and like I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop, or in a rush. I coped by staying busy as a distraction, or shutting down. I never really felt relaxed in my own skin.
Then someone helped me see what was actually happening. A brief yet powerful moment where a family friend reached out her hand, placed it on my arm, and asked “how long have you been in survival mode?” – I didn’t know at that time that there were ‘modes’! I couldn’t even recognize how hijacked my nervous system was compared to a normal baseline. It was a moment that changed my life. I learned then, maybe I wasn’t broken, maybe there was more to the story.
That shift — from trying to fix myself to understanding myself — changed everything.
What I do now
Since 2012, I’ve worked with thousands of people as a bodywork practitioner — and since 2022, I’ve facilitated Somatic breathwork and deeper inner work in both 1:1 and group settings. What I’ve found, across all of it, is that the body and the mind are telling the same story. The tension in your shoulders and the loop you keep replaying in your head — they’re connected. They usually go all the way back.
I had spent years working with bodies — releasing tension, creating safety through touch — before I understood what was actually happening beneath the surface. When I started doing my own inner work, everything clicked. The anxiety, the reactivity, the leaving, and rushing — it was all my nervous system doing exactly what it had learned to do, to keep me safe. Once I understood that, the bodywork I was offering deepened too. I wasn’t just releasing muscle tension anymore. I was helping people come back to themselves. And more importantly guiding them into a more compassionate view of themselves.
“Her intuitive and caring approach allowed me to fully let go during our session.”

What makes this different
Both body + mind
Most practitioners offer one or the other. Here, find relief from physical tension and mental fog in the same session — because they’re part of the same system.
Structure without rigidity
I use structure to create safety. Once we’re in it, I work intuitively — responding to what’s actually present, not a fixed script.
Real, not performative
No “love and light,” no spiritual bypassing. Just honest, grounded work with someone who’s done their own work and isn’t scared of yours.
“I immediately feel a sense of calm when I walk in.”
-Melanie S.
Why “Radicle”?
A radicle is the first root a seed puts out — the one that reaches down before anything grows up. For me, that root is the nervous system. It’s the first thing shaped by our earliest experiences, and it quietly runs everything that comes after — how we connect, how we protect ourselves, how we show up in relationships. The work I do isn’t about adding more ‘hacks’ to your life. It’s about getting to the root of what’s already there, understanding it, and letting that change things from the inside out.
The wordplay is intentional too. We usually have to be willing to make a radical move for ourselves before anything shifts. That takes courage. I don’t take it lightly when someone decides they’re ready to do the inner work. My lens as an LMT is accessing that depth through the body, and the nervous system.
I’m glad you’re here.
