What I love about the ARC is the relief it gives Members. The relief from suffering, pain, and guilt is so uplifting. Training in the skills needed to reduce suffering is empowering. In our hour together, we will create new knowledge and a path forward for you based on the science of processed food addiction.

In her training courses and private consultations, Lauren draws on her extensive training and expertise in these fields, combined with her triumphs over personal life challenges, to help her clients achieve their wellness goals.  She is based in Durban, South Africa.

I help ARC members turn recovery tools into personalized action through concierge support, especially for those feeling stuck or needing guidance with keto, carnivore, or accountability. With over 10 years of experience and a background in financial coaching, I'm here to support your next step.

As a holistic health coach, I help people explore the root causes of their processed food cravings and build personalized strategies for lasting change. In our 1:1 sessions, we’ll create a safe, supportive space to identify triggers, navigate emotional challenges, and chart a path toward a life that feels aligned, empowered, and free.

After a health crisis in 2012 led to months of pain and food intolerance, I began a deep journey of healing that uncovered a gluten intolerance, put my type 2 diabetes into remission, and helped me overcome emotional eating and bingeing. Through training with IIN, Dr. Rita Marie, and Dr. Joan Ifland’s science-based program, I’ve combined personal experience with professional knowledge to support others in finding freedom from processed food addiction. My mission is to walk alongside you with authenticity, encouragement, and hope.

As a mother, grandmother, minister, and food addict, I’ve found safety, growth, and healing in the ARC. Now, as a FARA Advocate, I’m here to help others break free from processed food addiction with support, science, and skill-building—not willpower. Recovery takes more than changing what’s on your plate; it takes community, compassion, and a whole-person approach. If you’re ready, I’d be honored to walk this journey with you.

I’m a Certified Holistic Health Coach and FARA Advocate with the ARC, dedicated to helping others recover from processed food addiction—something I’ve personally battled since childhood. After years of disordered eating and body shame, I’ve found freedom, self-love, and a healthy relationship with food through recovery. Now, I’m here to help you build daily habits that create lasting change and real joy.

I’ve been active in the ARC since 2021, an Advocate since 2022, and a leader in the ROC since 2023. My recovery from processed food addiction has taught me that true change comes from the inside out. With support from these communities, I’ve built a new way of living rooted in emotional strength, self-compassion, and freedom—and now I’m here to help others do the same.
