Kia Ora, Im Loren
I’m a coach, breathworker, yin yoga and menstrual cycles teacher.
For 5 years I’ve been supporting thousands of humans just like you in all kinds of ways from in person events to online 1:1 ways. It’s truly one of my greatest joys.
Something I know to be true is life is so short and full of twists and turns and I want others and myself to create the life we truly love cause I believe that's so important to know we’ve done whenever it is that we come to our last few days on this Earth. Over the years I’ve walked with death and grief, having lost many people I love already.
Life is too short and precious to waste.
I believe in the seasons of life whether it’s a season of doing all-the-things and making big, bold moves or if it’s a more slow, intentional and reflective season - and everything in between. Especially for feminine beings.
MY BACKGROUND
My whole life I have been highly intuitive
I can tune in so easily. I can feel what is true for me and I have a deeply connected relationship to my soul
My whole life people have often opened up to me and told me things they have never told anyone else. People have told me things they didn’t even realise they thought themselves, they didn’t even realise were in their subconscious mind. I can see now that this level of truth that I seek, and that I bring out in others, is a gift and a superpower.
It use to make me feel isolated it felt like no-one else was seeing the truth like I was seeing the truth. It felt like no-one else was calling the bullshit except me.
I’m deeply empathetic and I can take on other people’s energy when I’m not taking care of my own. This is something I really prioritise in what I like to call energy wellness.
Something tells me you might relate to be highly sensitive and attuned to how others feel too.
As a kid and early teenager I was obsessed with the esoteric, not that I knew that word back then. I would flick through the witchcraft books and bookshops, play out in the forest, climb trees, so often looking up at the sky and wondering ‘but what else is up there that I can't see?’ As I moved into my party years I kinda forgot all that stuff until my marriage ended pretty suddenly and with a fair amount of drama. At 28 years old I found myself separated and asking Google who else in their 20’s is divorced only to then reinvent themselves, feel fulfilled and create an incredible life. I stumbled across a few life coaches who fit the reference point I was searching for and quickly discovered this world of women creating their own ideal lives.
And so the seed was planted.
Looking back I see how I’ve always been the one having deep conversations, supporting others and curious about how much better it can get. Maybe you can relate?
I’m all about integrity, heart-led leadership and more interested in the long lasting ripple effect.
In 2017 I did the Beautiful You Coaching Academy training and since then my business has evolved from holding sold out women’s circles, coaching clients 1:1, facilitating breathwork for thousands of humans across Aotearoa, Australia and beyond, teaching yin yoga, holding weekly holistic sessions at a private live in rehab retreat and holding online course. I’ve published books and been a finalist for multiple awards. And I feel like there's been a constant deepening of my craft.
My younger years I was aching to find my passion in life in a way that feels most true to me. From saving the entirety of my paper-run money for two years so I could pay for my flights to the Sunshine Coast at 13 to making beaded jewellery in selling it from the back row of class at 16 to going to Uni and studying Fashion Design at 18. I worked as a dresser backstage of runway shows, did some styling work, high fashion retail, switched to being onset in the film industry working on Outrageous Fortune, Spartacus and more. I tried my hand at a more stable income with various admin jobs which didn't light me up in the slightest. I found myself working at a large event management company and later leaving that to start my own event management business during the global financial crisis at 24 and newly married. We landed huge clients via word of mouth and it was a brilliant 3 or 4 years of creativity, wild hours, incredible memories (hello Mobys soundcheck at RnV before the gates opened to the public) and ultimately we closed our business when we separated. It's been a life of trying things, failing, trying new approaches and really growing my resilience. I’m so proud of my younger self for following my intuition and giving things a go. That ‘lets try it and see’ attitude is still strong.
Heres what I believe in
-
Where the esoteric and science meet - our bodies are incredibly wise. Our beautiful bodies and brain protects itself and sometimes we need reminding when it's now safe and to gently come back to homeostasis and allow healing to happen.
We all are intuitive and have gut knowings - sometimes we just need to learn how to tune into this.
-
Theres often alot of nuance and many ways of viewing things. Our views are a collection of our past lived experiences, passed down through generations, mindset, what we have learned or believe in. And we all have a different lens we view the world through.
Integrity is everything - I believe in always doing my utmost best to look after both myself and others. This means be very discerning with deciding what trainings have done and will do in the future. I research where my teachers have learnt from and if theres a high quality of integrity in the places I learn from. Being trauma informed is an important piece of the puzzle to me and I dont take it lightly that people choose to come to me for support.
-
I dont know everything. I never will, nor will anyone else.
When I dont know something, I'll say I dont know. If I can see a client needs support outside of my capacity or knowledge I'll help them find a better suited person or refer them on.
I'm continously learning and evolving.
SOME THINGS ABOUT ME
Aquarius Sun, Capricorn Moon and Taurus Rising, with both Mars and Venus in Aries. My chart is pretty balanced with air, fire, earth and water placements.
I’m a 3/6 emotional Projector in Human Design. Which means I’m here to GUIDE energy and teach from a place of lived experience and trial and error.
Learning to strengthen and deeply trust in my intuition, even if logic is louder.
I’m happiest out in nature, bare feet on the earth, in the ocean and feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin.
Travel and adventure are so important to me, I would go back to India, Nepal and Bali in a heartbeat and have Bora Bora, Hawaii, Italy, Spain and Africa on my vision board.
You are the one your Ancestors have been waiting for

Honouring the land and my lineage
I whakapapa to Ngai Te Rangi, Matakana Island, Bay of Plenty on my Dads side.
Ngātiwai ki Aotea are the Tangata Whenua (people of the land) of Aotea, Great Barrier Island where I lived my first few years and still consider it one of my homes.
Te Kawerau a Maki are the Tangata Whenua (people of the land) of Waitakere, Auckland where I lived most of my life.
I’m a mixture of Māori, Pakeha, Australian, English, Spanish and apparently French Gypsy from way back.
