Lauren Best

I’m Lauren Best. And I am a Certified Hypnotherapist, Writer, Speaker, Workshop Facilitator, Podcast Host and Coach who works at the intersection of wellness, consciousness, creativity, and business.

In 2020, my whole world blew up and on my journey to learn to love myself and to overcome burnout I found the practice of hypnosis which would change my life forever! It became so instrumental in my own life to discover what my version of conscious and intentional living could look and feel like. It empowered me to find confidence in my pursuit of creative entrepreneurship. Trusting and reprogramming my subconscious mind has also invited opportunity for me to disrupt perfectionism and deepen into my spiritual practice.

I now work with Conscious and Creative Leaders and Entrepreneurs, and Curious Individuals to unlock potential, envision new possibilities for their work and life, connect to their intuition, understand their unique abilities, and strengthen their mind-intuition-body connection to take authentic action.

I love speaking about disrupting perfectionism through conscious and intentional living, rewiring the subconscious mind, embracing creative entrepreneurship, and designing self-care practices to guide and inspire folks to show up more authentically in their work and lives.
