Reclaim Your Life Program
This is a six month 1:1 coaching program for HSPs who are ready to reclaim their time and energy and start ensuring that their needs get met to improve their overall wellbeing. We meet on Zoom twice a month with additional Voxer support in between meetings for implementation support and accountability.
My framework for this program was created from my boundary setting work with therapy clients, coaching clients, and my own personal boundary setting work. During our meetings we will discuss barriers to setting boundaries, identifying and acknowledging your needs, coping with feelings of anxiety and guilt (and other uncomfortable feelings), and how to actually start setting boundaries. Throughout our time together, we will also identify and work on any unhelpful thought patterns that are keeping you stuck in people-pleasing mode.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
60 minute bi-weekly video calls
These twelve hours of high-touch coaching bring about huge transformations when it comes to setting boundaries as a highly sensitive person.
1:1 Voxer Support
Voxer support (texting, voice messaging, and file sharing) is in place for implementation strategy and questions in between our weekly calls.
Investment: $2,400
Payment plans are available.
Highly Sensitive Parent Community -- Launching in October
This is an ongoing monthly membership community for parents who are highly sensitive and are seeking connection, encouragement, validation, tools, accountability, and support.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Zoom meeting every month
We will meet live once a month to discuss our experiences as highly sensitive parents and get strategies and support from each other. This allows us to connect on a deeper level with other highly sensitive parents who understand your experiences and struggles.
Ongoing support within the membership community
Connecting with others who have an understanding of where you're coming from and can validate your feelings and experiences is so important-- and especially so if you're a highly sensitive parent, which can feel isolating at times. The membership community is a safe place where we can vent, ask questions, and get support.
Investment: $30 per month
Payment plans are available.
About Me
My name is Lauren, and I'm a coach and former therapist with a passion for working with highly sensitive people.
Growing up, I felt like a weird kid. I often felt like I didn’t fit in, I felt like my feelings were too big, I felt like I was too quiet, I had extreme reactions to certain sensory input. And up until several years ago, I had no idea why.
That’s when I discovered that I’m a highly sensitive person, also known as an HSP. HSPs often feel as though they don't fit in with others, may have sensory issues with things such as bright lights or certain fabrics, and can be very caring and empathetic-- sometimes at their own expense.
I started googling and researching everything I could find about the trait of high sensitivity, joined Facebook groups for support, and shared the information with my family. I finally felt validated, and I no longer felt alone.
Throughout my experience as a therapist, as well as through my own personal growth-- I have done a lot of work personally when it comes to acknowledging my needs, setting boundaries, and feeling okay about putting my needs first so I can be the best version of myself-- I’ve realized that HSPs are the people I’m most passionate about working with. I’m excited about my coaching programs and getting to work with people who are ready to set boundaries and really start to care for themselves.
I live in New Hampshire with my husband, our daughter, and our two cats, seven chickens, and one rooster. I love theatre and dance (both performing and spectating), making crafts, and making music.
You might be a Highly Sensitive Person if...
- You are easily overwhelmed by strong sensory input, such as bright lights, loud noises, strong smells, or coarse fabrics
- When you've been busy, you tend to find yourself needing to withdraw to a quiet, private place
- You get rattled when you have a lot to do in a short period of time
- You try hard not to make mistakes and to please others
- You have difficulty adjusting to change
- You process things deeply
- Others see you as sensitive or shy
So what is "high sensitivity?"
- It is a personality trait affecting about 15-20% of the population, and is also found in animals.
- It is also known as “sensory processing sensitivity," which is not the same as sensory processing disorder, which is a neurological disorder.
- There are four basic characteristics (“DOES”): Depth of processing, Overstimulation, Emotional responsiveness and empathy, Sensitivity to subtleties.
- High sensitivity is not the same as introversion—many HSPs are introverts (about 70%), and about 30% are extroverts.
- High sensitivity appears equally in men and women.
