There have been a series of meaningful synchronicities and beautifully imperfect moments that have led me to this point...

In 2020, my whole world blew up−the pandemic, job loss, relocating−unexpectedly bringing me back to Canada after living in South East Asia and the UK for 6+ years.

I found myself trying to pick up the pieces, trying to move on, and trying to figure out what I would do next−all while having no clue just how dysregulated my nervous system was.

It was on this journey to learn to trust myself again and overcome the immense burnout I had been chronically experiencing: I began experimenting with different morning rituals to ease my morning worry, I started to brainstorm different business ideas while joining writing and entrepreneurship communities, I was trying out different holistic wellness modalities to experience some emotional and mental release. And then I started to hear more and more about rewiring the subconscious mind using Hypnosis. 

Before taking the leap to start my own business, I designed dozens of customer experiences, business concepts, streamlining of operations, business pivots, and new ways of delivering services in my career as Business Transformation Consultant and Service Designer. I have collaborated with public and private sector organizations, small businesses, start-ups, and entrepreneurs across the globe−from Canada, to the UK, Netherlands, Australia, and Singapore. I was so easily able to support them to design their ideal way of working, yet I was struggling to do the same for myself.

Coming from this world of business and experience design, I was programmed to be quick to identify problems and create impactful solutions using Human-Centred Design and Design Thinking Methodologies. My mind too so naturally has the ability to zoom in and out and connect the dots to deeply understand greater possibility.

 

But many of times it can be difficult to take action simply based on the information that we hold in our conscious awareness, even if it is easy to do the same for others. I was looking for problems that did not exist in my own business, and I was taking action from a place of fear instead of deep intuition.

By challenging my own beliefs and traditional ways of doing things through subconscious reprogramming, I started to open up to rediscovering what my version of conscious and intentional living and working could look and feel like, beyond what society tells us is the way it should be done.

 

This journey empowered me to find confidence in my pursuit of creative entrepreneurship, blending my work as a Hypnotherapist and a Design Consultant to create new paradigms within my own working practice, disrupting perfectionism and provoking others to become open to exploring new possibilities for their work and lives too.

​​

Giving myself permission to do things differently didn’t happen overnight−it is still a process, perhaps a forever endeavor. More and more permission slips are revealed to me on a daily basis and I continue to commit to my own self-discovery work and mindset practice.

 

This is why I founded Possibilities Universe−to support others to uncover their own permission slips as they explore a world of self-expression amongst the pressure and uncertainty of the world. We all deserve a place to get creative, to explore our inner-worlds without judgement and fear, to build capacity to imagine a world that is different from what we already know, and to provoke new imperfect possibilities for our dynamic lives.

"Working with Lauren was a game-changer. She's a master at making systems and processes work like magic, making our projects smoother and our team more effective. Beyond her skills, Lauren's positivity is infectious. She's the kind of person who lights up the room and keeps spirits high, making tough days a lot easier.

Having her on the team not only pushed us forward but also made the journey enjoyable. She's got a wealth of knowledge, a brilliant mind, and a heart of gold. I can't recommend her enough."

Laith Masarweh

CEO & Founder at Assistantly

"I found my hypnotherapy sessions with Lauren to be insightful and pleasantly surprising! Lauren’s warm and lovely energy was infectious. I instantly felt at ease and safe. I had private sessions with her, and she helped me clarify the areas I wanted to explore most within the session. Through her guidance, I could delve into my subconscious and uncover solutions waiting to be discovered within myself.
 
There was no fixed script, but allowing what came up with the session and moving within with trust. That made the experience so unique and surprising at the same time as I discovered what I needed to move forward, not what I expected to find."

Oraorn Srichiangwang

Personal Empowerment & Accountability Coach

"The way she guided me with her expertise and soothing voice was like a spa for my mind and soul. Sure, there were some rough spots—as all deep, honest inner work does—but I knew I was in a safe and trusted space.
The insight gained from the session is lasting because it came from within and brought to my consciousness."

Oraorn Srichiangwang

Personal Empowerment & Accountability Coach

"I thought I would need more help in creating ideas, but as we processed together, I was shown that the real work was trusting the seeds that I've planted, and the next step was to give myself permission to call in the support systems to activate my vision.
 
I came out of the session feeling aligned in my head and heart. I highly recommend Lauren as a wonderful guide to marrying the emotional attunement necessary with the goals we all want to achieve!"

Lydia Lee

Work Reinvention Coach at Screw the Cubicle

"We had Lauren join us for our annual professional development conference. Lauren is an excellent speaker with a very important message that really resonated with our group.
 
Highly recommend her session on disrupting perfectionism and writing our own permission slips!"

Marc Colatruglio

President at Association of Assessing Officers of Manitoba

"As I dream of a life and a business bigger than I could have ever conceived, Lauren has been key to helping me unlock hidden patterns of thought that kept me from going there, and preparing me to go even beyond."

Ruha Ratnam

The Designist Studio

"Lauren recently led some members of my translator community through the most beautiful guided, virtual hypnotherapy session.
 
She spent considerable time listening to each of us share our personal struggles to customize the experience to our group. It was very clear that each one felt very safe with her and had a deep experience of relaxation and a heightened sense of self-awareness."

Kim Jacob

Founder of Treehouse Collective

"Lauren is an inspiring facilitator and has a wealth of knowledge in strategic transformation. I recently attended Lauren's Connect to Your Vision masterclass, and it was just what I needed. I left the masterclass feeling empowered and inspired to dream beyond my upper limit. If you are looking to get out of your own way and see what is possible for you, I highly recommend working with Lauren."

Tami Schweber

Marketing Strategy Coach

"After just a few sessions with Lauren, I noticed I felt much more at ease in the days that followed. Things that previously would trigger me, no longer seemed to bother me as much.
 
I truly believe in the power of hypnotherapy after doing sessions with Lauren. She is such a wise, empathetic healer, I couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else."

Cecilia Amato

Founder at Amato Creative Works

"I needed some support to pick myself up and start rebuilding my business as well as myself personally. I had some goals in mind but was lacking in focus and clarity Lauren is incredibly gifted at helping people to make sense of their thoughts and big goals by breaking them down into tiny, actionable steps that feel really achievable.
 
I could feel the brain fog start to lift and I began to realise that anything is possible, I just needed to take inspired action in a way that felt good to me, in my own way and at my own pace."

Melissa Strange

Founder at MKS Virtual

"I wanted to work with someone that could tap into my limiting beliefs and help me achieve the goal of expanding my business to be my primary form of income.
 
The sessions are powerful by being tailored to my goals and business development. From the subconscious level, I have experienced genuinely mind-altering growth and the connections that have been made with my inner self will last a lifetime."

Laura Ali

Author of the Book 'Abundantly Grateful''

"This lady has a sweet and precious presence that is very supportive and nurturing as she guides you into a deeper state of listening and experiencing.
 
I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to go into a trance state during the beginning of the session but after defending the 10th step, I was like "whoa, I'm here." 😂 I was gently guided to the answers I needed to take those next steps forward in a very difficult situation."

Michel O'Hare

Inner Healing Clinic

"Until mid-2021, I was making career choices based on fear. Since I started working with Lauren in the summer her purpose-driven guidance has helped me dig deeper to uncover what I value and what I want from my professional life.
 
She has helped me realise that my vision of what a business looks like for me is both valid and attainable. She has also constantly reminded me of the importance of rest and of taking time to re-energise by doing the things I love."
