If you feel like a stranger in your own body...
If pain has stolen your energy, your joy, your life...
If your body is crying out but the answers fall silent…
You've come to the right place.
Welcome to The Kora
Trauma-informed healing through somatics, nervous system care, and compassionate guidance, designed for lasting transformation.
Hi, I'm Lauren
I lived with undiagnosed chronic pain for over two decades, and spent four years in the depths of extreme illness. I tried everything. But nothing truly changed until I turned inward and began to listen to my body.
That shift didn’t come from fixing what was “wrong,” but from learning to meet my body with care, trust, and attention.
With time, I became my own support, my own guide, my own healer.
Today, I’m the healthiest and most alive I’ve ever been.
Through The Kora, I offer the process that changed everything, and the invitation to begin your own healing journey.
Our Mission
At The Kora, we support people living with chronic pain, illness, trauma, medical burnout, chronic fatigue, and more.
We believe healing is not about fixing what’s broken, but about reclaiming wholeness, agency, and the capacity for transformation.
Rooted in somatic education, nervous system awareness, and trauma-aware practice, our work invites a return to the body – not as a problem to solve, but as a powerful source of insight, resilience, and renewal.
The name Kora carries two meanings. From the Gaelic coire, it speaks of the cauldron, an alchemical space where elements gather, break down, and transform into new magic, new medicine. And from the myth of Persephone, also known as Kore, the maiden who descends into the underworld and rises as spring itself. The Kora honours the cyclical, transformative nature of healing itself, as well as the deep dive into ourselves we have to take in order to emerge new, whole, and sparkling.
The Kora is both a practice and a container: a method and a refuge for transformation, grounded in trust, embodiment, and personal sovereignty.
It's time to reclaim your healing.
