Intentionally Embodied Birth Mentorship Program

Hi, I’m Lauren Shields, and I’ve spent the last decade working as a wellness professional in the Atlanta area. My business started from a vision I got while driving home from work one day. At first, I thought “I can’t do that. It’s too much!” But by taking is one step at a time, staying optimistic, and always learning, I’ve done everything I set out to do and more!

In just a decade, I became a yoga teacher, birth and postpartum doula, Pilates teacher, and life coach. I’ve taught thousands of hours of movement in classes, workshops, and privates. I opened a successful niche yoga studio that blended my passion for motherhood, yoga, and community. I’ve traveled and learned from incredible teachers. I’ve hosted circle and ceremony, day retreats and international retreats. I even wrote the curriculum for my very own yoga teacher training, where I’ve trained almost 30 teachers who teach all over the United States.

Looking back, I wish I had a mentor to help bounce ideas off and receive guidance and reassurance from.

So I’m opening up my first MENTORSHIP PROGRAM, and I would love for you to join me!

We’re making our visions reality, we’re finding our voice, we’re gaining skills, talking about pricing, and getting into the nitty gritty of running a wellness business that feeds you mind, body and soul. This isn’t just about making money or manifesting. This is real actionable plan to get you where you want to be. No more dreaming or building vision boards, we’ll be problem-solving our way to you leading your own workshops, working with private clients, hosting retreats, and getting over all those fears that keep holding you back.
