The Story Behind The Lighthouse

Unlearn. Rewild. Realign – My Journey Home to Myself

My journey began in the traditional world of psychology, where I worked as an Educational Psychologist helping others navigate their mental health challenges across a variety of clinical and educational settings. But like many hard working professionals, I found myself caught in the very patterns I was helping others overcome.

After experiencing complete burnout following some challenging personal circumstances in 2023 and again in 2025—a necessary breaking point that forced me to step back and reassess everything—I began asking the big questions: "Who is Lauren, really?" and "What is my purpose in the greater scheme of things?"

"How do I want to show up for myself, first and foremost, before I can truly show up for others?"

Through my own therapeutic journey and in my work with others, I discovered that the conventional approaches to mental health, productivity, and wellness weren't working—for me, or for some of my clients. The clinical approach often lacked long term efficacy and rarely provided practical daily tools or practices to navigate this increasingly demanding world. I was searching for something different—something personal, holistic, and real.

I didn't want to keep talking about it. I didn't want more excuses or damage control strategies. I wanted meaning. I wanted to understand myself better and find my own flow in this world. I realized that the better I knew myself—and the more grounded I felt in that person—the clearer my path became. The world around me, and the people in it, were not going to do it for me. We are each responsible for ourselves and how we show up in the world.

The Birth of Routinology

Through my own healing journey, I've worked to develop an approach that honours both traditional practices and new, alternative opportunities for growth and authenticity. I realized that sustainable change doesn't come from forcing yourself into rigid systems, but from creating rhythms that align with your natural energy and authentic self.

This idea of a person-centred methodology became increasingly appealing after my own search for a process that truly worked for me. I was introduced to the concept of Routinology through the book Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One by Raphaëlle Giordano. It spoke to my soul. It mirrored my journey of accepting that the only thing I can control is myself—and how I choose to perceive and approach this life.

Routinology does not belong to me; it belongs to everyone. It is a birthright—a gentle, intuitive approach to routine creation that focuses on rhythm, ritual, and realignment rather than rigid schedules and endless to-do lists.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional clinical approaches, which can often feel like another thing to fail at, Routinology meets you exactly where you are—warts and all. Perfect in your imperfections.

The truth is, you are never on the wrong path—you may simply not be managing it effectively. You are not a diagnosis to be cured but rather an individual being guided through your own unique life path.

I believe that:

  • Your rhythm is unique — what works for others may not work for you.
  • Gentle structure heals — rigid systems often create more stress.
  • Small shifts create big change — sustainable transformation happens gradually.
  • Your body knows best — intuition and energy awareness guide the process.

The Transformation Process

My approach is rooted in the understanding that true change happens when we honour our natural rhythms while creating intentional structure. I help clients:

  • Discover their unique energy patterns and natural flow.
  • Acknowledge and apply their inherent skills.
  • Create rituals that feel nourishing rather than draining.
  • Build sustainable routines that adapt to life's changes.
  • Develop deeper self-trust and intuitive decision-making.
  • Find the sweet spot between productivity and peace.
  • Cultivate proactive, "thoughtless" choice and radical acceptance.

Who This Work Is For

Everyone and anyone—particularly the adults of this world who are ready to break free from societal programming that has left them confused, disconnected, and empty.

We are the adults raising the next generation; we owe it to those coming after us to model what it means to be a healthy, authentic human. We cannot raise a wholesome generation when we ourselves are fragmented. We cannot expect from others what we are not willing to do ourselves.

So, if you are:

  • A truth seeker.
  • Looking to break free from your prescribed mould.
  • Wanting to gain deeper understanding of yourself and others.
  • Ready to live in alignment with your most authentic self.
  • Seeking to transform unhealthy habits into healthy ones.
  • Wanting to integrate all the parts of yourself—professional, mother, daughter, sister, lover, friend.
  • A young adult navigating the ever-changing landscape of adulthood.
  • Striving to align with the highest version of yourself.

Then this work is for you.

My Intention

To pay it forward—to share the knowledge and insight I've gained throughout both my personal and professional journey. We all deserve to live our best lives, yet many don't know where or how to start.

I have been blessed with many opportunities—both challenging and rewarding—that have led me to profound spaces of growth and learning. My gift lies in people and human behaviour. I am an opportunity seeker and a problem solver for the human experience.

This is my offering to the world: to be a compassionate guide who has walked the path herself and understands the deep need for both structure and flexibility in our modern lives. My aim is to help you create routines that heal instead of hurt, rhythms that support instead of stress, and a life that feels both accomplished and aligned.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing people live their best lives.

With love and light,
Lauren
