About Lauren Flanagan
Herbalist & Yoga Instructor
Lauren's life experiences have woven together and inspired the creation of Rooted & Reaching Wellness: A practice that nourishes the body and mind through Wellness Consultations, Herbal Medicine, Meditation, and Yoga. Rooted & Reaching Wellness provides guidance and support for living more comfortably in one's body.
In the vast and open spaces of the Mojave Desert, Lauren's understanding of health surfaced, her intentions for life were refined, and the connection to her body was rekindled. Meditation was the first tool she discovered as she dove into the Mahayana Tradition which revealed the power of working with the mind and emotional body to support the life she wanted to create.
She studied and practiced yoga in the Ashtanga Tradition, completed a Teacher Training with Tim Miller, and participated in Restorative Ashtanga Yoga Mentorship where she was fortunate to work with a variety of age ranges and ability levels. She continues to teach yoga in several spaces including alongside an Occupational Therapist at Holistic Orthopedic.
In addition to mind and body based practices, she studied herbal medicine and nutrition, worked in an herbal and health food shop, and served as a personal chef. She also facilitated workshops with guidance for intention setting and integration support.
With a deeper dedication to the medicine path, she attended Bastyr University Herbal Sciences Program. The Bachelors of Science extensive curriculum included: Anatomy & Physiology, Organic and Bio- chemistry, Herbal Medicine Making and Formulating, Pharmacognosy and Herb Drug Interactions, Herbalism First Aid, Gemmotherapy, Materia Medica, Traditional Ayurveda, and much more.
She practices reciprocity with the plants directly by tending to her own and others gardens. As a steward of the earth she works with bioregional and medicinal plants.
