A Journey of Healing, Transformation, and Empowerment

Lauren Ellis’ story is a powerful testament to resilience, self-discovery, and healing.

With over 18 years of experience as a massage therapist, Lauren had built a successful business helping others alleviate chronic pain and illness.

But while she was supporting her clients, she was quietly battling her own chronic health issues, including Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and more.

The strain of managing her own health while running a business eventually took its toll, forcing Lauren to reimagine her life and career.

From massage therapy to myofunctional therapy and health coaching, Lauren’s journey is one of deep personal healing that eventually led her to a new path, helping others heal from the inside out.

Now, she focuses on root cause healing, supporting her clients with holistic approaches that go beyond symptom management to address the real issues underlying their pain and illness.

Battling Illness While Helping Others Heal

Lauren’s dedication to healing wasn’t without its personal challenges.

While she was running a successful massage therapy business, she was simultaneously fighting for her health.

Chronic illness, including Lyme disease, kept her in a constant state of stress and exhaustion.

Despite being deeply committed to helping others, Lauren found herself pushed to the brink, struggling to balance her career with self-care.

When COVID-19 shut down her business, Lauren finally allowed herself to rest.

It was during this time of much-needed self-care that her health began to improve.

This period of introspection and healing led her to a pivotal decision: she needed to shift her business and focus on what truly aligned with her purpose, health, and long-term happiness.

Rediscovering Health and Purpose

Lauren’s transition wasn’t immediate, but it was profound.

After downsizing her business and rethinking her approach, she eventually discovered myofunctional therapy, a breakthrough that would change everything.

During her own postpartum journey, she realized that her health issues were deeply connected to her own undiagnosed tongue tie.

This realization was a game-changer.

It wasn’t just her clients who needed healing, it was herself.

This revelation led her to pursue advanced training in hormone and gut health, as well as myofunctional therapy.

Lauren’s newfound focus on root cause healing allowed her to not only improve her own health but also understand how to support others in a more holistic, effective way.

From Relief to Root Cause

Lauren’s work goes beyond traditional treatments, she’s all about uncovering the root causes of pain and illness.

Through myofunctional therapy, she helps clients address issues such as breathing problems, sleep apnea, tongue ties, and more.

She’s seen firsthand how addressing these root causes can lead to life-changing transformations.

One of her most rewarding experiences came from working with a child who had been struggling with speech therapy, sleep issues, and digestive problems for years.

After just a few sessions of myofunctional therapy and a tongue tie release, the results were staggering.

This child’s speech improved, sleep became more restful, digestion improved, and overall behavior and focus in school improved dramatically.

Lauren’s approach combines various modalities—nutritional support, bodywork, yoga, and collaborative care with the right doctors to create lasting change.

She’s not just changing lives, she’s helping her clients rediscover what it means to live fully and pain-free.

Balancing Life and Business

Like any entrepreneur, Lauren faces challenges—particularly balancing her business with her personal life.

As a mother, Lauren has made it a priority to be present for her son, which means she works strategically to maintain a flexible schedule.

However, the road hasn’t always been easy.

She’s worked hard to grow her business, even in the face of setbacks, like her social media accounts being hacked, forcing her to start over from scratch.

Despite these challenges, Lauren remains committed to her mission to help others heal, while also nurturing her family and personal well-being.

Her goal is to transition fully into health coaching and myofunctional therapy, working with clients online and helping others lead healthier, more balanced lives.

Lauren’s dedication to finding a balanced life where she can help others and still be present for her son is the driving force behind her mission.

Helping Others Heal, Empowering Families

Lauren’s vision is clear: she wants to create a life where she can help others heal on a deeper level, live a less toxic life, and break free from the cycle of chronic pain and illness.

Her work has evolved from massage therapy to a more holistic, root-cause approach that addresses issues from the inside out.

She hopes to empower other mothers and entrepreneurs to take control of their health and create a balanced life where they don’t have to sacrifice their family time or well-being to build a successful business.

Her goal is to be able to offer her services online, creating a flexible, sustainable career that supports both her clients and her family.

At Reignelle, we believe that true healing comes from understanding the root causes of your pain and illness.

Lauren’s story exemplifies the power of transformation through holistic approaches that address the whole body not just symptoms.

Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, autoimmune issues, or health challenges that mainstream medicine hasn’t solved, there is hope.
