Transformational Coaching: I felt an instant connection and when I met Lauren for our first in-person meeting. I felt I had come home. I felt her light and love. And for the first time, in a long time, after a few sessions I no longer felt like a failure or that I had made a mistake in my life choices.
She helped me get my inner strength back and remember who I really am, and who I want to be all the time.
When I came to Lauren I had been divorced for 3 years from a 25-year marriage with adult kids, laid off from a job of 17 years and on my own for the first time. Add in a betrayal from my best friend and lover, and I was beyond broken, defeated and felt like I was worthless. In one session she made me feel welcome and that I had something worth living for.
She made me see that I was a good mother, a good ex wife, and that it was time to save myself. I saw that I had been giving and giving, and had forgotten about my needs and wants. Starting over was ok, and was easier than the thoughts in my head. A year later, I am so much stronger and continue to be. Beth
Dani's story: In 2004, I underwent an invasive emergency surgery; due to unforeseen complications I coded numerous times and was brought back with a defibrillator. After seven intense hours, I woke up seeming healthy. It would be years before I realized this was not the case. The intensity of the electric currents was the source of activation for a syndrome known as Fibromyalgia. A hereditary condition triggered by physical and mental stress, environment, trauma to the body, and a traumatic experience. Fibro is a muscular skeletal degenerative disorder that systematically attacks trigger points of the body also causing cognitive issues known as Fibro fog, chronic pain , chronic fatigue, IBS, Bladder issues, to name a few. The specialists are still arguing out if it is a syndrome, a neurological disorder or an auto immune disorder; for the individuals fighting this, it is a debilitating invasion that changes our very existence.
I had been a physically active and fit single mother of three. I was working two, sometimes three, jobs, working out no less than an hour a day and walking three miles a day. My life changed quickly over a year and a half; doctor after doctor, blood tests, and scans with no answers. My health declined steadily, I could hardly get through a full day of work let alone get any housework done. I went in for a small noninvasive procedure that would bring to light my condition and it would leave me on the verge of relying on a walker or worse a wheelchair. Now armed with diagnoses my doctor starts prescribing the handful of medications used for this condition. The first one caused severe weight gain only adding to the growing list of problems, the next caused dizzy spells and the last gave me heart palpitations and the longer I stayed on it the harder it would be to get off of it.
This is when the universe reunited me with Lauren. My pain was severe and becoming more debilitating. With each Reiki and coaching session I slowly went off my medication. Within two months I was walking better, and feeling less fatigued. By the third month I was off all medication such that even my doctor was impressed. He urged me to continue with Reiki sessions to improve my overall health. With each life coaching session I learned new techniques and better ways to improve my mental health, which has an automatic physical improvement causing a more productive and satisfying life. Two years later I no longer had fibromyalgia and was back to working full time. I am now also helping to heal others. Dani
Reiki for the first time: This was my first Reiki session and it was so beneficial! I had been going through some negative experiences in my everyday life. This was so relaxing that I experienced deep tranquility. At the end of my session the rain down poured immensely, which I know is a symbol of cleansing. I then felt very neutral for several days as my emotions started to transpire. It was a true overall positive outcome experience. Better than any massage I have ever had and have had lasting positive effects from the experience. Debbie
This was my first experience with Reiki meditation and it was life changing. Going into this meditation I was skeptical but after the treatment I cannot recommend Reiki and Lauren Mangan enough as your conducting Reiki master. The environment that was created can be described as tranquil, unique and repose. During, I felt numb across my whole body, not scary though, quite the contrary, the most relaxed you’ll feel in your life. All I can say is please do this. It is essential like water is to our bodies and Lauren Mangan is the best of the best especially as a new Reiki educated master. Garrett
A cumulative effect: A Reiki session with Lauren is a deeply moving experience—in fact, at my first ever Reiki session, I arrived somewhat tense and anxious. After a peaceful, profoundly felt moment, listening to Lauren’s soothing words and feeling her healing touch, tension left [in tears] and a general state of well-being took over. During my second session, I “grew wings” after experiencing again the warm, healing touch of Lauren’s expert hands. I was left with a great feeling of lightness. Both sessions ended in a serene, soulful moment—aches gone, tension gone… Before, during and after each session, Lauren’s gentle voice and words set a soulful mood. My introduction to Reiki could not have been under better hands! It is now an important, reassuring part of my life. Thank you, Lauren. Nathalie
In an age where pain and stress management has become a necessity, any and all alternatives to medications and surgery should most certainly be looked into. As someone who has dealt with back pain for many years, I have tried many holistic treatments as an alternative to medications and surgery. All have been helpful in managing my stress and pain. During the past year I became acquainted with the practice of Reiki. Through my sessions with Lauren Mangan I discovered an entirely different level of "pain & stress management" that I would describe in two words: necessary and beneficial, and have added Reiki to my arsenal of pain and stress management solutions.
In speaking with others who have had sessions with Lauren Mangan, I've discovered that everyone has their own unique experience with it. My sessions are usually very energizing in a way that makes me feel that I've achieved a restful eight hours of sleep in a brief twenty to thirty minute session. It should also be mentioned that everyone I spoke to describes their Reiki experience as a positive one. Just as with massage, acupuncture, or chiropractic, with Reiki a great deal of how positive the recipient feels about the experience depends on how competent the person is who is providing the service. Lauren is very caring, sincere and believes in what she is doing. This certainly comes across in a Reiki session with her and I would recommend her to anyone who feels the need to manage the stress and pain that is all too prevalent in our lives these days. Marc
Tapping for the first time: I came into my first appointment with Lauren not knowing exactly what Tapping was and how it worked. Lauren’s professionalism and warmth made me feel relaxed. Lauren introduced me to Tapping with a brief overview and instruction to the technique of tapping. Her guidance was easy to follow and understand. Because of the trusting atmosphere Lauren provided, and demonstrating the techniques on herself, I was able to easily grasp the Tapping process. This experience provided me with the Tapping tools to use on my own whenever any negative emotion or situation showed up in my life that I wanted to change to create peace and calm. Lauren advised me to repeat the Tapping process several times; I experienced a release of negative emotions, of a long-standing anger and frustration along with a distorted feeling of self-worth from long ago. To my surprise, I was aware that these feelings had actually created a deep-cellular memory affecting my life with negative reactions to similar present life-situations that would get in the way of responding instead of reacting. The awareness of this release of negative emotions was so profound, that I can no longer retrieve the memories that caused them leaving me feeling freer, lighter with increased energy after my session was over. The Tapping Techniques learned supplied me with an easy and effective method to use as needed. This is a very self-empowering system. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a healthy, peaceful and calm life! Sonja
