"Change begins with awareness.

Hi.  I’m Lauren (aka Ms B). A conscious, Libran solo Mumma of two blessings, a son and daughter who live in the picturesque Tamborine Mountain, Queensland, Australia.  

I have a love of learning and teaching, holistic wellness, essential oils, gardening, DIY projects, cute home décor, oracle card reading, bushwalking and so much more.  I am a solution-focused nurturer with load of ideas always pouring into my mind, attention to detail and a need to master everything I learn (My favourite topic is self-improvement).  I love to write too so get comfortable…..

My greatest gift is my ability to make even strangers feel comfortable sharing their joys & pains with me within just moments of meeting.  I am empowered by connecting with others (but as an empath, balance this will periods of being a ‘homebody’) .  

I’m all about using natural solutions to find a balance.  At one point in my life, I was so lost that I didn’t even know what made me happy.  My life experiences have made me passionate about self-care and wellbeing and extra determined to support families to connect and thrive together.  

I was a good little Christian girl growing up and so I have always been spiritual and had a close connection to God right up until I experienced infertility for four years when I was trying to conceive our first child. (It challenged me that God could ‘punish’ me in that way being that I had strived all of my life to do everything ‘right’!)  My body was under a great deal of stress as a Primary School teacher and the infertility naturally made me depressed. 

It was at that point that I was quite randomly introduced to Feng Shui at, of all things, a Nutrimetics class. Instantly I resonated with it and bought the presenter’s book and before long I had signed up for a course to be certified as a Feng Shui practitioner – not really to be a practitioner as I was a teacher at the time, but because that’s the person I am. If I want to know something I will study it to the point that I could teach it to others! 

Feng Shui gave me hope!  It was something that I could control and it felt good to have a tool to help find a balance & manifest my dreams!  As a typical Libran who loves balance and harmony, the basics of Feng Shui just made sense.  So much was logical, however it can get quite complex.   I started adapting it to make it a bit more simplified.  I believed that if it was getting overwhelming, surely that energy is going to be counter-productive!?!?

We finally conceived our son then when he was just 7 months old, our daughter decided she was ready.  It was all divine timing and it was at this point that I truly accepted that all things happen for a reason. My faith in Source was restored.

Raising two young children became a pressure cooker for my husband and by the time my daughter was just over 1.5 years old, my husband left, leaving me to raise our children as a single-Mumma. 

Funnily enough, at the time when he left, I had been using my new understanding of mindfulness, the Law of Attraction and ‘inner’ Feng Shui of the mind to work on ‘finding love within’ in anticipation that the cracks that were showing in my marriage may be mended.  Instead, the Universe had other plans for me and showed me that the best way for me to have the love I deserved, was to release the toxic marriage I was trying to hold on to so tightly.  Seeing how these new methods amplified the effectiveness of Feng Shui really shifted my philosophy to a whole new level! This was when I originally started my ‘Yinning the Yang’ business – A Mumma finding a balance with Feng Shui.

Over the years, I was introduced to essential oils, chakra balancing, EFT tapping, reiki, stress management and more, broadening my understanding of how energy flows within and around our bodies and environment.  All of these modalities have helped me to understand more about how to look at Feng Shui in a holistic way in body, mind, spirit and environment.

My children and I are recovering now from emotional & psychological trauma which is why I have become knowledgeable about stress management, social-emotional development and a whole lot of releasing of suppressed anger and forgiveness.  Nothing has helped me more than reconnecting with myself, listening to its messages and learning to honour the importance of making my wellbeing a priority in order to care effectively for my children. 

At the heart of our family business, is our mission to empower others with the invaluable tools we have learnt to connect to Self, each other & Source.  More about our approach below.
