Her superpower: Helping you to release the blocks that have been holding you back and awakening you to your highest potential
MOOD LDN Founder Lauren Parmar is a qualified Transformative Coach, Meditation & Yoga Teacher who studied with ICF-accredited Animas Centre for Coaching, The British School of Meditation and Kindred Yoga School respectively. Lauren founded MOOD LDN with the desire to create a space for women to come together to work through their fears and unconscious blocks, find space and calm amongst the chaos, to connect with their authentic desires and develop the confidence needed to create the changes they seek. To explore challenges with a gentle curiosity, face the truth courageously, build a life intentionally and emerge as a better version of yourself.
Coaching is about creating a future that is different from the one you are currently living. It enables a journey of self-exploration which can give you greater self-awareness and help you to examine and reshape many areas of your life. Lauren’s approach is less about what you’re doing, and more about who you are being. She will help you to evolve not just your life and career, but your whole mode of being. Body, mind and spirit.

Amy
Entrepeneur
"I didn't realise it was everything my soul had been calling for. I arrived feeling a little lost on my path, and I left with absolute clarity about the purpose of life and was reunited with my confidence again after 10 years of being estranged from it. Thank you, Lauren, for creating such unique connections and a community that you won’t truly experience until you take the leap and immerse yourself in something new. One of my top life moments so far."
Stephanie
Community strategy consultant
“I felt so welcome and at home - like an actual (re)treat. The food kept surprising and time just flew by. It was such a cosy weekend and also productive in moving forward with more clarity of what and how I want things to be personally and professionally.”
Nynkee
Sustainability consultant
“Diving deep into both my brand and myself was incredibly impactful. Being guided with the right questions helped me understand how I function on a deeper level and how to connect that to my business vision. The vibe, location, setting, host and program were all amazing. I loved the diversity of activities, everything felt so comfortable, cozy, and beautifully curated.”
