Lauren Walega goes beyond conventional nutrition counseling to offer a holistic approach to health. With over eight years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, her professional journey has been marked by exploration, learning & a commitment to helping others achieve optimal health.
Originally from outside Scranton, Pennsylvania, Lauren's journey began with a deep interest in nutrition, which she pursued at Penn State University, earning her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition & Dietetics. Her educational journey continued with a challenging dietetics internship at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC, where she gained invaluable experience through rotations across Northeastern Pennsylvania.
When the world was shaken by the pandemic, Lauren made a bold decision to leave her established career & life in Philadelphia behind, embarking on a transformative adventure as a travel dietitian. Over the course of three years, she traveled across the United States, working in different hospitals from coast to coast. This experience exposed her to a wide range of specialties, including clinical nutrition, geriatric care, community nutrition, eating disorders, organ transplant support, critical care, mental health & addiction.
Throughout her travels, Lauren developed a profound appreciation for the natural world, spending much of her time outdoors & discovering her love for both the mountains & the ocean. This realization led her to make Los Angeles, California, her new home, where she could enjoy the beauty of both landscapes while pursuing new opportunities.
In addition to her move to LA, Lauren furthered her education and passion for holistic wellness by earning her Masters of Science in Ayurveda & Functional Medicine at Maharishi University of Management. With this comprehensive knowledge & understanding of mind body wellness, Lauren's journey came full circle.
Now, Lauren is committed to leveraging her expertise and intuition to guide others on their paths to health and wellness. She believes in a holistic approach that integrates Nutrition, Ayurveda & Energy Healing, empowering individuals to achieve balance & harmony in mind, body & soul. With her dedication, compassion & reverence for the natural world, Lauren continues to inspire & support those around her on their journeys to health & soul alignment.
Looking forward to working with you,
-Lauren
