Health & Wellness Coaching Testimonials
I met Lauren at a staff wellness seminar. We started working together shortly after that by meeting or speaking once a week. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first at having a Wellness Coach – but was proved wrong soon after we started working together! We started off with a visualization exercise on how I imagined my “healthy” lifestyle and then moved forward incrementally from there, choosing weekly goals and then discussing how I achieved (or didn’t achieve them). It was a wonderful experience to discuss my routine activities with such detail and honesty with a specialist who was charged with increasing my overall health and well being. It definitely changed some of my lifestyle habits for the long-term and made me more reflective of what makes me happy. Thanks, Lauren, for opening me up to a new way of thinking!

After being tired of going on countless weight loss programs and feeling completely confused about health and nutrition I turned to Lauren Brown. During our first meeting Lauren helped me to visualize my goals and helped me to set really small goals as I had a tendency to create huge weight loss goals and become overwhelmed. From that moment, she helped me to block out all of my negativity and helped me see that I was worthy of making a change. I didn’t need to set “weight loss goals.” Instead I needed to start setting “healthy living goals.” Through this she helped me with my issues surrounding body negativity and disordered eating.
Lauren wasn’t intimidating at all and was really friendly and funny. She was up for anything and even met me at the grocery store one day to help me make healthier alternatives for foods I would actually eat. She didn’t place any kind of health program on me and would just take all of the information I gave her, offering some helpful tips so that I could lead a healthier life. Even with all of her knowledge and schooling she didn’t come across as someone who was preaching at me or filling me with information I wouldn’t use. Instead, she talked to me on my level. She really listened and really cared about seeing me succeed.
I’d recommend Lauren to absolutely everybody! Whether you are like me and are new to the idea of being healthy OR if you are a bodybuilder looking for a new nutrition plan – she can do it all. Thank you, Lauren, for helping me gain confidence and for helping me begin to love my body.

Lauren was an amazing health and wellness coach and truly made a difference in my life. I began working with Lauren at Guelph General Hospital when she piloted a Health and Wellness program for healthcare staff. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and I could tell she brought a wide range of coaching skills. I initially thought my goals were mostly about my physical health, but I quickly learned that supporting my emotional well-being was just as important, and Lauren’s well-rounded approach brought it all together. She helped me learn more about myself and we crafted personalized goals, especially when it came to managing stress, and finding realistic ways to eat healthier and fit exercise into my busy life. She also shared great books and online resources that encouraged me to keep learning on my own, which is something I love to do. Our sessions always felt organic and tailored to what my needs were. I never felt like I was being prescribed something to do that didn't feel right. Working with Lauren felt like we were a team creating a plan to help me improve my life. Most of all, Lauren made me feel genuinely cared about. She has a sunny disposition, was always easy to talk to and put me at ease from the very start. I would recommend working with Lauren in a heartbeat!
