“I’m only 19 but throughout my life I have never truly felt fully accepted and cared for, especially not by someone who I didn’t know too well. Lauren is the first person that has helped me understand that I deserve to be loved and to love myself. I had never experienced Reiki before but I am so glad Sprit guided me to this beautiful soul and the community she works in, this medicine is tremendous and I am forever grateful for my experience. Lauren held a safe space for me to be utterly vulnerable and I have never experienced that type of genuine openness. If you’re thinking about booking a session, 100% do it. Lauren is full of nothing but love, light and good vibes, she’s got you! Not only is this medicine amazing but you deserve to experience healing, even if it’s just a start, to learn about yourself and to be open to learning more. I can’t wait to continue my healing journey!! Thank you so much Lauren!”

“Lauren is extremely in tune with what my body needs in every session. As an energetic chiropractor, I can tell when people are legit and flowing authentically with the energy… and Lauren is legit! Her deep listening has allowed me to find more inner peace and safety. Thank you for your service and bringing your gifts to St. Pete.”

— Mike L.

“Lauren is a very gifted healer with a calming presence and grounded energy. I’ve been dealing with a chronic health issue for over a year and she was able to jumpstart my recovery my aligning my chakras and sharing her insights as to where my energetic system was imbalanced. As a professional athlete, entrepreneur, and full time medical student I understand the importance of life force energy for vitality and longevity. Lauren is a big part of my holistic healthcare team and I’m blessed to be working with her!”

— Austin T.

“All I can say is wow.. one Reiki session with Lauren instantly made me feel lighter. I had never had a Reiki session before but I always wanted to try it. I had some idea of what to expect but I was blown away with the results. Her ability to move energy in just 60 minutes is truly a talent. I also received a breath work session which allowed me to connect to my body and fall further into relaxation. Tears fell as I could feel the layers that did not serve me falling off. I could feel a tingle in my face, and a heat sensation on my back (the energy of spirit shifting through me.) I cannot recommend Lauren’s work enough. Anyone looking to dive further into their spiritual journey and open their chakras should visit this incredible woman’s practice!”

— Tatiana R.

“This was my first session with Lauren and I had no idea what to expect. I have done Reiki once before, but never breathwork, so going into this experience, I had an open mind, and I was honestly blown away by what I experienced. I felt so much relief released out of my body and not only with stress, but pain and anxiety and a lot of weight. There were times where I could literally feel the energy swirling around my body almost like when you drop something into water and it ripples waves that was the feeling I saw all over my body, and at some point my hands and feet were tingly and numb along with my face. I don’t know how to exactly describe it, but it just felt like a release. It was some thing I needed and I feel so much more in alignment after my session and so much lighter. I have already recommended Lauren to a few of my friends and will definitely be seeing her again in the future. She was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and calm. She really made me feel comfortable and I appreciate that and such a vulnerable space.”

— Brittaney S.

"I was in such a dark place and felt I had nothing else to turn to to help me through my darkest thoughts. I reached out to Lauren in a panic and she was available for me almost immediately. Before we started the session she walked me through each step and during the session. I felt this mass amount of negative energy shift out of my body. Even after a few days of having this session with her, I feel lighter and I can feel myself handling the hard things in life with a little more grace. This is something I will do more frequently to keep me align with my higher self. I have already sent her a few of my friends." 

— Colette D.

“I have been on a healing journey now for a couple of years and have explored plant medicine and many other modalities. My experience with Lauren was so beautiful. It’s amazing how deep breathwork can take us. I felt such a release with the breathwork that we did. Most of all, I felt safety. Lauren really creates a beautiful experience and is so thoughtful with every word and action. Every moment of this experience was powerful. I’m so grateful to Lauren for her gifts and I will tell everyone about this unique experience.”

— Courtney C.

“An amazing experience! I had done reiki sessions before, but this seemed elevated. The combination of a tranquil space and Lauren's calm, soothing demeanor makes you feel relaxed and ready to transport to another dimension. I definitely felt lighter and rejuvenated after the session. I highly recommend to anyone seeking a deeper connection with oneself and the world around you. Truly grateful, Thank you!”

— Travis P.

“Let me begin by thanking you. The moment I walked in, you made me feel comfortable, and that session has greatly influenced my everyday life. I would highly recommend your services to anyone who is interested in breathwork. As I traveled to you, I was so nervous, but you calmed my nerves and made me feel so comfortable. Thank you again.”

— Mario M.

“I recently had a combined breathwork and reiki session with Lauren and the time together was nothing short of magical. Lauren expertly guided me through the active breathwork portion of the session and then transitioned into reiki. I left feeling more open and free, emotionally and mentally lighter, and with an overall sense of well-being. Lauren even followed up the next day to check on me and provide "homework" to continue the work we began together. I will definitely be going back for more!”

— Nikki C.

“I continue to reflect on my experience with Lauren as it was beautiful and enlightening. My first experience with another Reiki practitioner left me confused and questioning the practice; however, with Lauren I was immediately put at ease.  Lauren gave me space to listen and to understand the practice.  I felt comfortable and safe in her care.”

— Lynda S.

“I was interested in working with Lauren as I had experienced reiki a few years ago and it helped me feel very grounded, connected to myself and my purpose in life. I knew that incorporating breathwork would elevate the reiki experience even more and felt an intuitive pull towards Lauren. Although I had not previously met her, I intuitively felt that I would be safe in her presence and it would be a great experience. During our session, I felt guided and supported every step of the way during breathwork, and the reiki component was so relaxing. In the weeks following our session, I have felt a deep sense of clarity, connection to myself, and self- compassion. After our session, Lauren sent over a detailed list of different practices to further support my wellbeing, which was such a helpful resource. I greatly recommend Lauren's services-- to be in her presence and experience her gifts is an experience and gift in itself. I am so excited to have met her and to continue working alongside her to support my mental- emotional and physical wellbeing.”

— Vanessa R.

“I have been on a spiritual journey for a long time. I am very open to receiving healing energy. My session with Lauren was truly amazing. From the minute I met her, I felt connected to her. She was so calming and warm. She explained her process and made sure I understood. I loved how she did a guided meditation to start so I was relaxed and ready to feel the energy. The session was so helpful and I felt like my energy and my body were open and able to do what it needed to do. At the end, she shared what she observed and gave me some good advice on how to add to my daily practice. I am looking forward to having another reiki session soon! Highly recommend!”

— Stacy W.

“My son enjoys his reiki sessions with Lauren so much.  Ever since his first session he says he has felt such a difference in his anxiety and emotions. I’m so happy we decided to try reiki healing.  His doctors and school had so many other recommendations but I’m happy I went with my gut and went on our own path. Thank you so much.”

— Mother of Ashton D. (age 9)

“I truly enjoyed my first session with Lauren. After a traumatic accident this was the first step towards healing and it felt like a huge release. Lauren was extremely positive and gentle in guiding me through my first experience with Reiki. I would highly recommend her!”

— Nicole B.

“Going into my first breathwork session with Lauren I had no idea what to expect and was completely blown away by the impact it had on me. I had an incredibly intense physical reaction that Lauren was able to explain to me at the end of class. My body was releasing energy and although it was uncomfortable at times I surrendered to it and at the end of the session I had an overwhelming feeling of gratitude, love and peace. I felt and saw a warm yellow light completely surround my body and felt more grounded than I had in a long time. Having not known a lot about breathwork prior to this session, I am completely hooked and have no doubt that this is an incredible avenue for healing and growth. Thank you to Lauren for facilitating and making me feel safe during a very vulnerable experience.”

— Annie D.

“I cannot speak highly enough about Lauren Brunhofer — she has a real gift.
I visited with her after several friends recommended Reiki to me, after having a particularly hard year. I told one I wanted to huff Sage to clear whatever was going wrong in my life - and she said Lauren was a much safer option. 

I’m so glad I listened. 

I was a little skeptical at first, but Lauren immediately put me at ease. She very clearly laid out what the session would be like and why she was doing what she doing. It helped my analytical brain while also helping to make me feel safe. She is an expert and knows what she is doing. 

Once the session started, I felt an immediate sense of calm and security. At the end of the session, Lauren took the time to talk through what came up and helped me form a language for how I have been feeling. Two days later, I feel like a new person - all because of Lauren’s guidance and thoughtful care.”

— Molly W.

"Lauren’s reiki healing is real.

At the time I made my first appointment with her, I had been thru a really rough time which was involving more than one loss of the closest loved ones in my life. She examined my whole body and energetic status then worked intensively on my throat chakra for it to be more open since I held on a lot of grief, pain, remorse, and resentment even that I wanted to express but couldn’t by myself.

A few minutes after her work begins, I physically sensed warmth over my body from head to toe, even without a direct touch from her. This change in body temperatures was followed by another surprising physical event which was shedding tears. I found myself slowly getting wetter on my eyes, then start weeping indeed, it was occurring with no emotional surge but in complete calm and peace. It felt simply like a drainage of waters without my intention to cry, but what I didn’t know is, this is the energy cleansing process reiki can do for us. So powerful.

Over follow-up appointments, Lauren continued to check my energy and any issue in its flow. She is also available for a remote session when I am away on a business trip. When she is working on me, messages can be downloaded from somewhere into my conscious filed. Often times it’s an interesting vision or a particular number, a voice of someone, could be anything. It’s fun to share them with her after the session.

Thank you so much Lauren for being part of my life with your healing work. You’re amazing!"

"The first time I took Lauren's Yin class was in August 2019. It changed my life. I was feeling uneasy and anxious but as soon as Lauren began speaking, a calm washed over me. As the class progressed, all kinds of emotions were coming to the surface, especially when she was giving me reiki. By the end of class, I was sobbing through shavasana. I was so overwhelmed and embarrassed, I ran out of class. When I saw Lauren at the next class, she explained how Yin can bring up emotions and get released during the practice. That was an understatement. I've been traveling 50 minutes each way every week just to continue Yin with Lauren. I've been to different studios with different teachers who offer a beautiful practice, however, Lauren teaches on a whole other level. You must try her class and experience the magic for yourself. You have not taken a Yin class until you've taken Yin with Lauren. Yin yoga with Lauren is more of an experience than a class. Her thoughtful words always resonate with her yogis. She even offers reiki during her class which brings it to another level. I have enjoyed many classes from different instructors but by far Lauren connects with me like no other. She is so warm and loving, you'll feel like you've known her forever. If you want to give yourself a gift, take Lauren's class."

"I met Lauren at Brassy Buddha while taking her Yin mediation class. Her voice is so soothing and relaxing! She speaks to my soul, it’s like my  church! She has wisdom beyond her years!! I discovered she practiced Reiki and have taken done it 3 times. It’s magic each time was a different experience but all of them were special in their own ways!! She is an angel️."

— Jennifer R.

"Lauren's classes and reiki practice are truly magical and uplifting! Lauren has a special gift of unifying your soul, mind and body and guiding you to transform into a state of light and deep awareness! Each class is a journey of self-discovery where space and stillness illuminate the beauty of your soul Self by helping you reach a state of nirvana. Absolutely amazing and life-changing experience!"
