About
Hi, I’m Lauren.
I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist, lifelong learner, and the founder of Yarrow.
My path to this work began in clinical nutrition, where I spent years caring for people in the hospital and witnessing just how complex health can be. Again and again, I saw that there was so much more to a person's wellbeing than a diagnosis, a lab value, or a list of symptoms.
People are whole beings.
Our nutrition, stress, sleep, nervous system, relationships, environment, movement, emotions, and connection to the natural world all influence how we experience health. And while conventional medicine plays an incredibly important role in caring for chronic illness, I believe there is also a meaningful place for personalized, supportive care that looks at the bigger picture.
That belief is what led me toward integrative and functional nutrition and eventually to herbalism and other nature-centered practices.
Why Yarrow?
I created Yarrow because I wanted to build the kind of space I believe people deserve when navigating chronic illness: calm, compassionate, curious, and deeply personal.
My approach combines my clinical nutrition background with continued education in integrative and functional nutrition, herbalism, and complementary wellness practices. I’m especially interested in supporting women living with chronic and autoimmune conditions, digestive concerns, fatigue, inflammation, stress, and the many ways these experiences can affect our relationship with our bodies.
I don't believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all protocols.
Instead, I want to help you understand your unique health story, identify meaningful areas for support, and create realistic changes that work within your actual life. When appropriate, I also value collaboration with your physicians, therapists, physical therapists, and other members of your healthcare team.
A Whole-Person Approach
I believe healing doesn't always happen by doing more.
Sometimes it begins with slowing down. Nourishing yourself well. Learning to listen to your body. Spending time outside. Finding ways to feel safer and more regulated in your nervous system. Reconnecting with the things that make you feel like you.
This is where my love of nature and traditional herbal wisdom comes into my work. Plants have always been part of human healthcare, and I’m fascinated by the relationship between people and the natural world. I’m continuing to deepen my education in herbalism, with a particular interest in local plants and the traditional knowledge surrounding them.
