Teacher, Writer, Dog Mom & Modern-Day Mystic
Since before the smartphone era, Lauren Gilbert has helped people return to themselves—body, heart, and spirit. Drawing on her background as a clinical aromatherapist, holistic health coach, Reiki master, spiritual guide, and systems designer, Lauren offers deeply customized healing and coaching experiences for individuals, students, and groups.
Her signature program, Inner Alchemy, is the result of more than a decade of research, design, and client work. It blends archetypal theory, occult sciences, aromatherapy, inner child work, creative inquiry, and transformational systems to help you rediscover your authentic blueprint, and learn how to live it.
Lauren’s approach is shaped by a life of immersion: deep mentorships with witches, healers, and mystics; years of world travel and nature-based learning; and a professional foundation in IT and analytics. She bridges the mystical with the practical, offering not just insight, but frameworks, diagrams, and explanations to help you understand the “how” and the “why.”
Essential oils and plant medicine are a living thread in her work. As a clinical aromatherapist, Lauren teaches how scent connects to the nervous system and supports well-being across physical, emotional, and energetic realms.
In her words:
“My superpower is identifying what isn’t working, and gently dismantling it so we can rebuild something that does. Many people have never been taught the foundational tools for navigating life: how to process emotion, understand inner drivers, or work with change instead of fearing it.
I also know the pain of feeling isolated and unseen. That’s why I believe so deeply in the healing power of connection. We are each other’s answers. My process, Inner Alchemy, is both a compass and a hand to hold. It’s my way of offering hope—alongside tools that truly work.”

My Story, Rooted
Hey there! I’m a Dutch-American woman with a passion for helping people find their light, their calling, and a sense of personal freedom.
Everyone wants lasting health, happiness, and peace, yet life often brings detours we didn’t expect. Sometimes we can’t move forward, and we can’t quite go back. That space in-between is where my work begins.
I’ve always been curious about what it means to be human, especially the messy, powerful role emotions play. I’ve spent much of my life traveling, living in different countries, and learning from teachers who helped me understand both myself and the broader human experience. What I’ve learned is simple: we all want to feel welcome, accepted, loved, and connected. Integrating our emotions, experiences, bodies, and spirits is how we get there.
Aromatherapy became a natural path for me. These gifts from the earth work on every level: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and energetic. The plants hold real wisdom, and it’s my joy to share that wisdom with others.
Over the years, I’ve healed my own history of trauma and sensitivity, and deepened my relationship with the earth and her medicines. Today, I share these tools and insights with people around the world.
I’m a happily divorced and remarried woman, step-mother to two amazing teens, and constant companion to a very loved Australian shepherd. Life is beautiful when we’re ready to receive the love and guidance the Divine is always offering.
I look forward to walking beside you on your earth-journey.
