Meet Lauren Russell

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Lauren Russell. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Lauren below.

Hi Lauren, so great to have you on the platform. There’s so much we want to ask you, but let’s start with the topic of self-care. Do you do anything for self-care and if so, do you think it’s had a meaningful impact on your effectiveness?
Partaking in daily, sustainable healthy practices such as Reiki Healing (self practice), meditation, physical activity, gratitude, spending quality time with my dog (fur baby), making time for fun/play has helped me fill up my cup and remain effective.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I started my business in 2017 making gemstone bracelets for friends. As I got more involved with the healing energy of the stones and crystals and my online store expanded, I became more aware of and benefited tremendously on a personal level from meditation and Reiki healing energy. A friend invited me to a sunrise meditation/reiki circle on the beach in Boca Raton, FL and that was a life-changing moment for me.

Other avenues of mind, body & spirit care and healing modalities really interested me, and I wanted to learn how to do it for my self-care practice. By popular demand and my love of learning, I eventually started working with clients and helping others do the same over two years ago when I reached practitioner status. In 2020, I was able to complete Reiki Mastery and now enjoy teaching my students do the same through Reiki 1, 2 & 3. Fast forward to today, I will beginning my third year working with clients in person in my studio in Orlando, FL and virtually as well as continuing to spread my love of crystals & healing information with my community as well. My mission is to share the wisdom, education and tools that have helped transform my life with the world and to help as many people as I can accomplish their goals, expand on their growth journey, and facilitate their own personal healing. I am currently partaking in an accelerated Massage Therapy program as a student, and I look to offer more information to the world through my experience/training here as well.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Resilience, resourcefulness, willingness to learn and trust myself.

Learn everything you can, be open to the amazing opportunities around you, and build meaningful connections and relationships.

How would you describe your ideal client?
My ideal client is ANYONE. Reiki healing is a modalities that can help anyone, anywhere and anytime. The other thing clients are required to do is relax and be open to receiving the healing energy. I help every time of person, age group, experience level with such a wide range of intentions/focuses. It’s really beautiful how interconnected we all are! 🙂
