Her dissertation, "The Near-Death-Experience, Work Values, and Spiritual Wellness: A Comparative Study" won a university research award. Dr. Lauren presented the results of her research at the International Association of Near-Death Studies North American Conference (IANDS) and at the American Counseling Association national conference. She developed and continues to expand the concept she calls Knowing, which is far more than intuition and much more comprehensive than traditional mediumship.

She has worked with thousands of clients in the U.S. and abroad since 1989. Dr. Lauren has been a registered medium with Lily Dale Assembly in Chautauqua County, New York, the world's largest community of mediums since 1996, when she became the first medium in decades to pass the stringent requirements for registration on her first attempt.

In addition to providing private consultations, Dr. Lauren has taught many people to access their own psychic and intuitive gifts; she continues to teach in all her work and now offers coaching services for intuitive and holistic practitioners. She has presented to a wide range of groups including business executives and police detectives. Dr. Lauren firmly believes that part of being human is being intuitive, and encourages people to rely on their own intuition. To book Dr. Lauren for your keynote or training, contact Sarah.

Her book, Natural-Born Intuition: How to Awaken & Develop Your Inner Wisdom has been hailed by best-selling author and spiritual medium James Van Praagh: "This is one of the most informative guidebooks on intuition I have ever read. It is chock full of natural wisdom." It's also been described by author and psychic Stacey Wolf as a book about intuition for logical people. Others have called it a "what about me" book since it includes many self-assessments to help readers learn about their own intuitive gifts and personal values.

Dr. Lauren is the visionary force behind The Seeker's Circle, an online spiritual development community with thousands of members. She has also been a professor with Atlantic University in its fully accredited master’s degree program in Transpersonal Studies, since 1999 and is affiliated with the prestigious mediumship and psychic development training center outside London, England The Arthur Findlay College of Mediumship & Psychic Studies. 

Regularly in the media, Dr. Lauren has been featured on hundreds of radio broadcasts, several television programs and documentaries and in print stories and books. Dr. Lauren is scheduled to be in an upcoming episode of Psychic Detectives, and has taught thousands of individuals--including corporate executives and law enforcement professionals--to access their intuitive intelligence more effectively and systematically using her unique, grounded, pragmatic approach.

And to avoid becoming a stuffy academic or forgetting to laugh, she is a graduate of the American Comedy Institute, Dr. Lauren also performs stand-up comedy about her life as a psychic medium. She has appeared at Caroline's on Broadway, Stand-Up NY, Gotham Comedy Club, The Stress Factory, and Rascal's. Why comedy? Because she believes that laughter is a healing force and more joy is just plain good (and it keeps her from becoming a dull, boring academic sort.) Plus, as she says, "The language of Spirit is laughter and love."
