Our Story

Welcome to The Lunar Child.

 

A space rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and real life.

​

My name is Lauren, and I’ve practiced astrology for over five years alongside building a successful private practice in traditional therapy. From the outside, it looked like I had it “all together.” But internally, something was missing. I was working inside systems that were burning me out and asking people to adapt to lives that didn’t truly support them.

​

At the same time, my husband was in corporate America. He was feeling disempowered, disconnected, and questioning whether this was really what life was meant to be.

We were both asking the same question:

Is this it?

​

In the spring of 2025, everything shifted. Major astrological transits catalyzed real, lived change in our lives. My husband walked away from corporate work, and together we chose to take a terrifying leap — leaving behind safety, predictability, and consistent income to bet on ourselves. To create something more fulfilling with our lives.

(And yes… we had a four-month-old at the time. Talk about a leap of faith.)

But astrology became our North Star during this expansion.

​

Not because it promised certainty — but because it reminded us why we were doing this. When fear crept in, astrology continued to reflect the same message: keep going. This path wasn’t the easiest, but it was aligned. Each roadblock led us to the next breakthrough.

​

That guidance is the reason we’re still here.

​

I earned my Master of Social Work from Portland State University, which gave me a deep understanding of how oppressive systems impact individuals and the collective. This lens shapes everything we do at The Lunar Child. All of our work is trauma-informed and grounded in the belief that people aren’t broken — they’re responding to systems that don’t honor them.

​

Traditional therapy often pathologizes people.

Astrology liberates them.

​

It reflects true energy. It restores agency. It offers remembrance of who someone is beneath conditioning and survival. I felt like spiritual recognition was the missing piece in most traditional spaces — and it’s the foundation of our work because it’s hard to have breakthroughs without it.

​

While I hold credentials and experience, this isn’t about authority or titles. It’s about guidance and empowerment. My husband leads strategy and operations so I can stay rooted in my genius: teaching, astrology, and healing.

​

Without astrology, we truly don’t think we’d be here today. And if you’re standing at the edge of your own leap — questioning what’s next — you’re not here by accident.
