About Me
Hi, I’m Lauren, a ‘Mumma’ to 2 blessings (Mr 7 and Miss 5) from the beautiful Tamborine Mountain
in the Gold Coast Hinterland, Queensland, Australia.
Having spent over a decade as a Primary School teacher & leader, I am blessed to currently be a ‘Work at Home Mum’ with a holistic wellness business where I continue to educate individuals and families with ways to transform their health, harmony & happiness.
Since becoming a Mum, my life has changed in the most amazing ways. Along with it though, came a yearning to find balance in my life. I know that so many Mumma Bears feel exactly the same way. Early on, my house became a cluttered mess. (I had to get my priorities right – baby comes first!) I had baby things breeding rapidly, a house full of school resources whilst on leave….it was getting out of control! And of course, my cluttered home manifested into a cluttered mind.
Then….on top of that there’s the added Mumma’s instinct to be self-less by putting the children’s, my (then) husband’s and everyone else’s needs before my own. I wound up lost!! I had lost the sense of who I was outside of being a mum and a wife. I had lost sight of what made me happy. My marriage suffered, and my life took a very unexpected turn which forced me to take a really hard look at myself. I had to go back to square one as I wasn’t coping.
I learnt the importance of self-care in order to care more effectively for everyone else in my life. I had to challenge my inner conflict to allow time & money just for me. I had to make a list of what made me happy! What brought me joy? I had to rebuild my self-worth and self-love in order to care better for my children. I had to rediscover my purpose beyond being a Mumma to reignite a spark for life again.
This was a revolutionary change for me. When I began making time for me, and rediscovering masked parts of myself, paths and unexpected opportunities opened up to me. I turned my life around to involve more low-tox & mindful methods to support myself & my family’s health & home. I have evolved with so much knowledge that I now passionately share with others.
Now, approximately 4 years later, my journey (aka ‘Mumma Tao’) towards finding a balance in life continues, but it’s bigger than that now! It is my mission to share the tools that I have learnt with YOU. I have had countless conversations with other Mums who go through exactly the same situation and it lights my soul to support lost, unrecognised Mums to reconnect with their True essence & find their path & natural balance too.
Let me share my simple, natural tools with you to help you reconnect, nourish & empower YOU with the balanced & abundant life that you desire, doing what you love!
Love & blessings,

YINNING the Yang
Through the establishment of my holistic wellness business, ‘Yinning the Yang’,
I aim to provide simple, natural solutions to assist you to reconnect with your True Self, nourish yourself, your family & surroundings, & cleanse the energy blocks in order for you to enjoy a balanced & abundant life doing what they love!
The business name, ‘Yinning the Yang’, initially formed from a Mumma striving to find a balance or harmony in her life using Feng Shui. Over the years however, it has evolved to also include essential oils, mindful practices & other holistic modalities as the vessel. I will always be on this journey as my circumstances change, and I aim to help you too, personally and/or in business.
It is all about balance & flow!
Energy flows through our bodies, our minds, our environment and the heavens too.
When our energy is balanced and flowing freely, we can harness it to attract whatever our heart desires.
Simple actions can have tremendous effects!
I look forward to sharing my simple, natural solutions with you to help you on your way!
What People Say
“Wow! I just undertook Yinning the Yang's Intro to Feng Shui class. How incredible! Lauren explained the complex theories behind the practice in a way that was very easy to understand and completely relatable. She’ll never tell you to put a giant, bright red Buddha in your home (unless that’s what you love), but instead show you simple things to do that can enhance your home’s chi in a way that suits your style, your family’s needs and is toddler proof! Being an extremely well qualified essential oils practitioner, Lauren shows you how to focus on inner Feng Shui and allows you to create solutions that you can take home with you the very same day. I really can’t recommend her classes highly enough. You will love it!.”
