Real voices from RISE

Healing, clarity and community: real stories from women whose lives have been transformed through RISE and the Recondition Your Life Academy.

In their words

Women who rise.

“It's been the best four or five years of my life.”
Sade, 36, Kent

I have been working with Lauren now for four or five years. It's been the best four or five years of my life. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions. But working with somebody like Lauren, it's been the best decision I've ever made.

“I don't think I've ever experienced something so powerful.”
Maina, 40, Texas
Read what she says

It's been beautiful. We're almost 20 women together, learning so much from each other. I don't think I've ever experienced something so powerful, really. Discovered so much about myself, and I discovered so much about the power of being in community with women. And that just gets me excited to continue working through RISE.

“It was one of the best decisions I've ever done.”
Jodi, 39, London
Read what she says

wanted to work with Lauren because it was an intuition that I followed and I can't really say more than that but something just said to me it's the right time at the right place and I had never done anything with her before personally I hadn't even had so much as a conversation with her just she posted about the retreat and I thought why not let's go live life and I did and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've ever done

“RISE did for me in 3 months what 5 years of therapy has never done. No therapy or coaching can match this. Because of the amount of trauma I'd been through, I believed I needed 1 on 1 coaching but a friend told me just to give it a go. I can't get over just how deeply impactful this work is when it's not in a 1 on 1 setting. Anyone listening: if you're questioning this because you think you need "more" than a course can give you, trust me, this is the "more" you're looking for. When Lauren calls it a coach-in-your-pocket, she really means it. You won't regret it.”
Anjali, 42, Canada
“I resisted for so long and though I try not to have regrets, I regret not doing this sooner. It is life-changing, life-beginning! I didn't realise just how much my patterns and behaviours were keeping me stuck in the place of stagnation I was in. I simply cannot over-state just how much has changed within 6 months of RISE. I'm happy again. I didn't really realise how unhappy I was, but now I see I was living maybe 10% of my full potential. I've instilled new habits, a new lifestyle entirely, and everything has shifted as a result. My career: finally stepping into my power and doing better than ever! And my parenting, huge shifts. Thank you Lauren, you are simply amazing.”
Arielle, 37, Los Angeles
“I joined RISE to find myself again, break generational cycles and become a better mother. Since joining my entire outlook on life has changed. The little things I used to sweat don't bother me so much anymore, I am much more present and grateful each day and I can handle life situations with more ease, patience and clarity. I can actually FEEL my healing happening, whilst not always easy or pretty, I know I am moving in the right direction. Lauren's wisdom, support and guidance really is unmatched and joining her on RISE truly is one of the best decisions I've ever made.”
Eden L.
“RISE has opened the door to a whole new world of healing and joy for me. Lauren's support and guidance never fails to make me think and grow in such a supportive way. Her team and the community of unbelievable women in the group ensure you never feel isolated or alone on the journey. It is all a beautiful thing to be a part of! I'm so grateful for it and Lauren!”
Vicki M.
“Since joining RISE I feel less alone, and being part of a community of kind, warm, supportive women on similar journeys to me makes me feel empowered. It's so good to be around others who share my ideas, questions and curiosity around health and healing holistically. Lauren and her team have created this beautiful community around them and I'm so happy to be part of it!”
Louisa P.
“The RISE membership has given me a sense of belonging, an amazing community of wonderful women who make me feel seen and heard when times are dark and support is needed. There is never judgement and I look forward to our monthly zooms and our daily checks and accountability partners. Thank you Lauren and her team for everything.”
Faye J.
“My RISE membership has given me a much needed sense of community. Lauren and the ladies who work with her are so helpful and committed to us, and the ladies in the membership are so relatable, open and sincere. I'm so happy with my membership!”
Patty C.
“Having a community of women all on a path of becoming happier and more present is so comforting and helpful. I'm not alone as I navigate the big and small of life. And Lauren is magic, helping me reframe thoughts, events and patterns in ways that encourage me to grow and expand.”
Melissa D.
“I just wanted to say thank you for the Voxer response. The things you've suggested are really useful so thank you again, and for all your hard work and dedication. Your Instagram, the academy, the app: it's become my life bible! I'm so glad to have found you and be part of the community you've built, it's so incredible to be here.”
A RISE member
“Lauren's course opened my eyes to the power of journaling as a practice of self-love, personal reflection and powerful intuition. By dedicating time to letting my thoughts flow, I have learned that this is the gateway to so much more. It is deeply therapeutic and affirming. It has been such a powerful, early step to inner growth, and Lauren also runs a FREE Monday morning journaling session! At the ripe old age of 40, I now write for myself.”
Jessica, UK, 40, on the journaling course
“I always thought journaling wasn't for me because I have ADHD, but Lauren gives you such a concise and manageable way to make journaling work for you. I even got past day 100 of journaling, which is unheard of for me, so I couldn't recommend this course enough!”
Rachel, on the journaling course
“This course is epic! It's not too long so it's really manageable, and it makes journaling make sense and gives you tools to create a meaningful journaling practice. So happy I bought this course.”
Antonia, on the journaling course
