Lauren Faye Higdon
I want to normalize and celebrate the beautiful and treacherous range of being human while honoring the natural cycles and rhythms of life.
I believe that love is as essential to life as water, food, and shelter. As humans, we need this love, acceptance, and connection to survive. Receiving these in a way that feels welcomed and good allows us to thrive. In a world that focuses so much on self regulating, self healing, and self love, how are we to actually discover what we want and what feels good. The answer is not in isolation, but rather togetherness. We need each other.
With 25 years of experience as a bodyworker, birth doula, yoga instructor, BreathTouch™ and somatic practitioner, I offer a range of somatic-based modalities to support individuals, couples, and families. I approach each person with love, compassion, and acceptance, meeting you exactly where you are. Let's deepen our relationships, grow our self-awareness, and live fuller, more empowered lives—together.
I am the Owner and co-founder of Centered Holistic Health (since 2013), advanced group leader for The Somatica Institute, founding board member for the non-profit, Peacefully Whole Recovery, and faculty at Lexington Healing Arts Academy. I offer both in-person and virtual coaching sessions as well as international retreats and public speaking engagements.
Hiring an experienced coach, being in conscious community, or receiving care from a professional can help us to explore in a safe enough environment to get to know ourselves better and then share this newfound understanding with our loved ones. By deepening your somatic awareness (connection with your body) and cultivating co-regulation (settling and balancing your nervous system with others), we can create the capacity to receive this love and care we all need and deserve.
I am continuously in awe of the transformation I see and feel with my clients. This work works, and I truly hope for the opportunity to share it with you.
