Hey there :)
I'm Lauren Cheadle. I was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. I became very interested in the mind/body connection while studying Psychology at the University of Arizona. I started practicing yoga and receiving massage regularly at that time, and am consistently impressed with how powerful both art forms are at healing the body and calming the mind.
These days life can move at such a fast pace, while technology allows us to avoid much of the healthy movement that was a necessary part of life for our ancestors. These factors can catch up with us and create stress and disease if we don't find healthy ways to balance them out. That's why I practice yoga, pay attention to what I eat and how much I sleep, dance, laugh, and receive massage regularly. That's also why I chose a career in massage therapy. It keeps me moving, gives me purpose (helping others feel good!), and is more valuable than ever considering the way society is evolving.
After years of California dreaming, I finally moved to Los Angeles in the summer of 2015. I graduated from the National Holistic Institute in Studio City in May of 2016, the same month I began a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Noah Maze at Wanderlust in Hollywood. I am loving being a student, loving the work, and loving life in LA! I've met a lot of amazing people here and am looking forward to meeting you!
