Hello, and welcome! I'm Lauren Schluter, a Spiritual Life Coach based in Maplewood, New Jersey. My mission is to help you reconnect with your true self, uncover your deepest desires, and transform your life from the inside out. Whether you're a mom feeling overwhelmed, a professional facing burnout, or anyone seeking a deeper connection with your inner wisdom, I'm here to guide you on your path to personal fulfillment and spiritual growth.
Before becoming a coach, I spent 15 years in Special Education, both as a teacher and leader. While I was dedicated to serving others, I often neglected my own needs, leading to burnout and a profound sense of unfulfillment. This experience, though challenging, became the catalyst for my transformation. I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal development, which led me to become a Spiritual Life Coach.
I've undergone extensive training, including a nine-month Wayfinder Coaching course with Martha Beck, where I learned a variety of tools and modalities to help clients tap into their inner wisdom. These experiences have shaped me into a coach who understands the struggles of living for others and the joy of reclaiming one's true self. Today, I live with more self-love, self-trust, and fulfillment than ever before, and I am passionate about helping others achieve the same.
I specialize in working with spiritually inclined individuals who are ready to deepen their relationship with themselves and live their most fulfilling lives. My clients include:
Moms: I understand the unique challenges that come with motherhood. Many moms lose themselves in their roles, feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled. I help moms shift perspectives, improve their relationships with their children, and reclaim their identities as whole, empowered women.
Professionals Facing Burnout: As a former workaholic, I know the toll that relentless productivity and external validation can take on your well-being. I guide professionals to break free from these patterns, find balance, and create a life that truly supports their happiness and health.
Women Seeking Personal Transformation: Whether you're dealing with perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-doubt, I help women break free from limiting beliefs and behaviors to live more authentically and joyfully.
Spiritually Inclined Individuals: If you're on a spiritual journey and seeking deeper self-awareness, I provide tools and support to help you connect with your inner wisdom and live a life aligned with your spiritual values.
As a Spiritual Life Coach, my approach is holistic and client-centered. I create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your desires, uncover what's holding you back, and make meaningful, lasting changes. Here are some ways I can support your journey:
1. Examining and Rewiring Limiting Beliefs
Many of us carry limiting beliefs and patterns from childhood and societal conditioning that hold us back. Beliefs like "I'm not good enough," "I need to please everyone," or "I must be perfect" can create immense pressure and dissatisfaction. Through thought work and tools like Byron Katie's The Work and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), I help you identify these beliefs, challenge them, and rewire your mindset to one that empowers you.
2. Understanding and Honoring Your Emotions
Emotions are powerful messengers that can offer deep insights into our inner world. I guide you to understand and honor your emotions, helping you discover the valuable messages they carry. This process often leads to profound shifts in perspective, greater emotional intelligence, and the ability to navigate life's challenges with more ease and grace.
3. Tapping into the Wisdom of Your Body
Our bodies hold incredible wisdom and are constantly communicating with us through sensations and feelings. Using body compass techniques and guided visualizations, I help you tune into your body's signals, understand their meanings, and use this wisdom to make decisions that align with your true self.
4. Exploring Different Parts of Yourself
We all have various parts or aspects of ourselves that influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through parts work, we can dialogue with these different parts to gain deeper understanding and compassion for ourselves. This process helps integrate and transform parts that may have been exiled or stuck in extreme roles, leading to a more harmonious and authentic self.
5. Setting Goals and Visualizing Your Desires
One of the keys to achieving a fulfilling life is having a clear vision of what you truly desire and setting actionable goals to reach it. I guide you through goal-setting exercises and visualizations to help you imagine what's possible and create a roadmap for your journey. Together, we'll break down your goals into manageable steps and celebrate your progress along the way.
Here are a few examples of the transformations my clients have achieved through our work together:
From Confusion to Clarity: A client struggling with decisions about her new business felt overwhelmed and stuck. Through guided visualization and body compass techniques, she gained clarity on the best path forward and left the session feeling excited and clear about her next steps.
Shifting Perspectives: Another client felt trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts about her relationship. By examining her limiting beliefs and exploring different viewpoints, she was able to shift her perspective, bringing more lightness and humor to the situation. This newfound clarity improved her relationship dynamics significantly.
Embracing Emotions: A client who had always suppressed her emotions learned to honor and understand them through our sessions. This process revealed important insights and transformed her relationship with herself, leading to greater self-acceptance and emotional freedom.
Tapping into Body Wisdom: One client, who often ignored her body's signals, learned to tune in and listen. By connecting with her body's wisdom, she strengthened her intuition and made decisions that aligned with her true desires, enhancing her overall well-being.
Parts Work Transformation: A client struggling with self-criticism discovered through parts work that her inner critic was trying to protect her. By dialoguing with this part and integrating its message, she developed greater self-compassion and reduced the negative self-talk that had plagued her for years.
Here are a few unique aspects of my coaching that set me apart:
Deep Commitment to Personal Development: My journey of transformation is ongoing. I practice daily meditation, breathwork, yoga, and journaling, and continually engage in my coaching and therapy. This commitment allows me to stay grounded and offer the most effective guidance to my clients.
Empowerment for Moms: I know the struggles of motherhood firsthand and have developed strategies to help moms feel more peaceful and fulfilled. My coaching helps moms reclaim their identities and find joy both in their roles as parents and as individuals.
Experience with Burnout: Having lived through and overcome burnout, I understand the toll it takes and how to recover from it. I help clients find balance and create lives that support their well-being.
Authentic Transformation: My life transformation from living for others and feeling burnt out, to listening to my soul and living joyfully is a testament to the power of coaching. I am living proof that profound change is possible, and I am passionate about helping you achieve the same.
