About Dr. Lauren

Dr. Lauren Michelle Kolansky is a classically trained doctor of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and herbal medicine.  She discovered this medicine after years of pain and frustration trying to navigate the western medical system following a debilitating muscle disease diagnosis, from which doctors told her she would never heal. Refusing to give up on her zest for life, love of movement and belief in possibility, she immersed herself in Chinese medicine healing modalities and eventually healed from a so-called “incurable disease”. 

In addition to her Master and Doctoral degrees in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts, she holds a BA and a certificate in Spirituality and Healthcare from the University of Florida, as well as coursework in Healing and Dancing with the Arts. She is a certified Qigong instructor, Akashic Records reader,  Malaysian-trained Classical Feng Shui Consultant, and minister through the non-denominational interfaith Sacred Earth Healing Center. 

Dr. Lauren is committed to supporting those in any kind of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual pain, with a focus on empowering those on their healing journeys to experience life with authenticity, courage, wonder and possibility. 

She avidly uses this medicine to continue her own experience of vibrant health, where she regularly enjoys her favorite adventures: hiking, yoga, and dancing at the pole studio.
