Behind Lettuce Be Lively
Hi, I’m Lauren — wife, mama-to-be, and wholehearted believer in living a life rooted in intention.
I’m passionate about creating a home that feels nourishing from the inside out, building a family grounded in love, and finding beauty in the simple, daily rituals that make life meaningful.
My Story
I’ve always been fascinated by the connection between how we live and how we feel, which led me to study nutrition and psychology and become a double-certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Duke University. I’m also a yoga teacher, which means mindfulness and movement are woven into everything I do.
But over time, I realized that true health isn’t just about what’s on your plate or how you move your body — it’s about the whole way you live. It’s in the morning coffee ritual that makes you pause, the bread rising on your counter, the slow walk with your partner, the craft project you pick up in the evening.
Now, I share my life openly — pregnancy, homemaking, wellness, crafts, and the cozy, in-between moments — not because it’s perfect, but because I believe in the power of creating a life you love living.
What Matters Most
Family First – My greatest joy is building a loving, intentional home with my husband and preparing to welcome our baby girl.
