Testimonials — Portal Play Coaching

Through diving with Lauren to crushing depths within my soul, i was able to locate and heal wounds from as early as childhood that were causing me to repeat the same patterns over and over again.

Before we started working together, I felt like I was at war with myself and my anxiety every day, crippling me from speaking my mind or asking for the things I wanted in any aspect of my life.

After a year of working with Lauren, I finally know what I really want. I finally love myself. I’m finally taking bold steps that allow me to enjoy the life of my dreams.

Lauren heard and paid attention to my deeply-held desires and helped me hold focus when I wanted to slide back into that comfortable space of listless wanting. Through diving with Lauren to crushing depths within my soul, I was able to locate and heal wounds from as early as childhood that I'd been afraid to even acknowledge, but that were causing me to repeat the same painful patterns over and over again. Lauren pulled role play scenarios from those depths, manifesting them into something tangible and sensually intense -- epiphanic and exhausting.

Lauren is passionate about her work, and that passionate commitment to your healing and growth can be felt in every session, Her attention to detail is exquisite, her imagination is boundless, and she is able to read energy and quickly adjust to where you are and where you need to be. If you're game, then be prepared to be torn apart with that same precision and a heavy dose of loving energy, and then sewn back together into someone stronger and more aligned with your true self.

This type of work isn't for the faint of heart, and not everybody might be ready to experience this. However, if you've ever felt that someone or something has been holding you back from reaching your desires, that you hold yourself down with the words like "I can't because...", or feel like you could change the trajectory of your life if you could just "go there", then you need to work with Lauren.

The scene was a powerful ritual that allowed me to let go of who I was before and step directly into an empowered version of myself.

Before my session with Lauren, I was nearing a breaking point as I struggled with identifying my resistance to transitioning my career from a 9 to 5 in tech to being a professional Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach. I could feel it holding me back from bravely choosing my desires. That felt a little defeating every day, and I knew I was running out of energy to fight it. I had done several coaching sessions about it with conventional life coaches, but none of it brought the breakthrough I needed.

My session with Lauren zeroed in on the real source of my resistance. She helped me understand that my resistance wasn't actually the fear it was masquerading as. It was actually about how closed I was to receiving pleasure. I was wasting so much energy trying to wrestle with a fear of starving to death in poverty that I hadn’t even noticed how strong my aversion was to beauty, abundance, and power.

It was a powerful experience to weave in the somatic and psychological intersection of BDSM and coaching, and that helped me integrate the insights from the session into what felt like my subconscious and my body.

The scene we did was a powerful ritual that allowed me to let go of who I was before the session and step directly into an empowered version of myself.

My work with Lauren shifted my being into alignment with the larger shape of who I really am

Now, I'm learning to integrate the very large energies we uncovered and shift my daily life accordingly.

Get ready to get your shit all fucked up in the best way. The experience is exhilarating, triggering, expansive, painful, exciting, freeing, tender, tearful, and above all else so loving and so supportive.

more powerful and psychedelic than an ayahuasca ceremony.

Lauren showed me the deep anguish I’ve been repressing for so many years, and gave me the choice to end my own suffering. The moment I took it, she transformed into an honest-to-God angel who guided me into the light and showed me how to start loving myself the way I’ve always deserved. It was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before–more powerful and psychedelic than an ayahuasca ceremony.

“Lauren transports you to a very personal world created with exquisite care.

My work with Lauren could only be described as a breakthrough. The level of care, research, and total commitment to a larger structure that goes beyond single scenes sets Lauren’s practice apart from other providers. But the truly transformative aspect is the incredible dynamic she creates through deep roleplay and true insight into her clients. It is about growth and getting in touch with yourself in a way that goes beyond what I thought possible in kink. I’m finally starting to understand my desires, my body, and what truly might be possible.

If you’re looking to go deep and come back changed, this is who should be your guide.

“A conscious BDSM session with Lauren is pure bliss and a powerful healing experience…”

I’ve struggled with deep shame about my kinky desires, and other BDSM sessions I’ve done left me feeling even worse. But after sessions with Lauren I feel refreshed and invigorated. She helps me access deep consciousness, express inner parts of myself, and relax into knowing that my fantasies are a part of being human. I feel so loved and taken care of in her dungeon—it’s the place where I can let my defenses sit on the side and allow myself to be me.

If you want to experience real BDSM in a healing way, to tap into your “shameful” desires in a judgement free space, and feel like you can just be and know that whatever it is going on inside you is okay and you deserve pleasure—then you must play with Lauren.

Lauren's Kink fairy godmother coaching session was like a balm to my soul

Lauren's Kink fairy godmother coaching session was like a balm to my soul. I was able to be open and real, to talk about things I have no one else to talk to about, to ask questions, and consider practices and ideas that have historically scared me in new light. Lauren truly saw me and my spirit, and her kindness and compassion were palpable. She was able to point me in new directions to explore, and I’m eager to put her recommendations to good use to continue expanding my sexual-spiritual fulfillment.

“Lauren helped me liberate and coax my sexuality out of hiding”

Thank you thank you thank you to the Kink Fairy Godmother, Lauren, who helped me to liberate and coax my sexuality out of hiding. She held space for me and my past trauma in the most gentle way. I felt so seen and honored and understood and validated. She helped me to understand why I was shutting down my sexuality and how to make space for it. She brought so much wisdom and grace to the topic and helped me to open up that part of me in a way that feels safe and fun.

She also showed me that, as much as I may try to downplay or deny my beauty, it's still there. And I needed to hear that and have been gently and cautiously embracing that ever since. My own beauty is something I both desperately want and also something I am completely terrified of. Lauren, I am beyond grateful and don't have words for much of how I feel. Our session feels like such an important turning point for me. Thank you thank you thank you.

Lauren listens deeply and compassionately, makes space for hard questions and hard answers, and is a fierce companion along my journey.

Lauren’s belief in envisioning and asking for what you want is contagious. I am an introvert and a pragmatist who typically plans for worst-case scenarios. Yet, with Lauren’s guidance, encouragement, and enthusiasm I was too busy celebrating the future I wanted to feel self-conscious. And it worked. I got the call I’d been envisioning. I got my dream job in the middle of a pandemic. Lauren listens deeply and compassionately, makes space for hard questions and hard answers, and is a fierce companion along my journey. If you need someone to be on your team, be your hype woman, and hold you accountable to deepening into a more authentic self--get Lauren in your life."
