Hi! I’m Lauren Rasmussen. I am a trauma-informed and trained practitioner who specializes in complex trauma, disordered eating & nervous system regulation. I am a certified trauma informed coach and NARM Professional. I have a degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Behavioral Neuroscience. I am also currently working on my second degree, a masters in Counseling Psychology. I have advanced training in Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, & Internal Family Systems. I also hold certifications in Intuitive Eating, Body Image in a Clinical Practice, Holistic Nutrition, & am a 200 hour E-RYT YACEP Yoga instructor. I am a multi-passionate practitioner who utilizes a combination of resources to help support clients through creating mental and emotional wellness. 

If we put my professional career aside, I am also a human. My work is deeply rooted in my personal mission and what I have walked through in my own life. On my Instagram platform, @thesimplestself, I share bits of my own story with the intention to remind others that they are not alone. Because healing can feel really, really lonely sometimes. 

Throughout my 20’s, my healing began. I found a passion for sharing through writing and began to share my words online. I found a lot of healing in community and recognized the power in destigmatizing mental health. 

I now work with clients from all walks of life to help them reclaim their bodies and create a life that they feel safe living. No matter what they’ve been through, no matter who has hurt them, and no matter how hard they’ve been on themselves–they deserve to heal. 

This is my life’s work, and I’m more passionate about it than anything in the world. 

Looking at your story, and how it’s showing up in your current reality is hard work, but it’s more transformative than anything. It’s about learning how what you’ve been through is informing what you’re going through. 

Not a lot of people actually come home to their bodies, but you can, and I can help.

I’ve worked with girls from the age of 16 to women in their 50s. This course is for you if you:

-Have dealt with feelings of not being in your body/disassociating and want to learn to emotionally regulate and be present

- find yourself looking in the mirror and berating yourself for not being or looking a certain way

- feel like you’re on and off diets all the time, and generally feel confused around what to eat

- have ‘low self worth’, even if this is the first time you’re starting to realize that’s a thing.

- Tend to ‘derail’ during the holidays with regards to food, family, and your body... and you want my support, as well as that of a community of like-minded women

If you’re completely confident in your body, and don’t feel anxiety around dieting or your appearance, this course is likely not for you.

You’ll learn tools that will help to reduce anxiety, build healthy habits, and take you out of that awful, angsty and overwhelmed feeling. We’ve included a full course outline above so you can check out what exactly you’ll be learning in the course schedule here.
