Hi, I am Lauren...
MOTHER - WRITER - MENTOR - ARTIST - SACRED SPACE HOLDER - CREATIVE ALCHEMIST…
The essence of everything I do is centered on creating a loving space, a powerful and yet gentle container, to hold the beings I work with through the process of transformation, evolution and rebirth.
I’m writing on Substack...
Instead of a blog, I now have a publication on Substack, called Held. By Lauren Barber, where I write weekly essays about Motherhood and Business, share soothing meditations and practices, and weave together storytelling and community.
If you want to read my words, connect with others and feel held in ‘virtual circle’ - then please do come on over…

Branding & Website Design
"I cried! When Lauren showed me the website we designed together, I cried. In a good way! It's more than just a website! I am so grateful to Lauren for guiding me through the full branding process. I've been running my business for a few years, and I had a website which was “good enough”. I had never had any proper branding done. My logo feels really special. I admire Lauren’s creative skills in helping make sense of my varied beliefs, values and passions to distill that into a visual identity. Her ability to express the essence of my brand - which is really my essence - was really exciting and I was quite moved by the final design. I felt really emotionally supported by Lauren as well, and she was very communicative at each stage. I felt fully supported during the process.”

Business Mentoring
“Lauren came into my life at the time when I was feeling overwhelmed with my business. Over the years I have known her, she has become a mentor, a friend and the wisest woman I know as I have navigated some of the most challenging times in my life. Lauren ‘s work and deep understanding of the impact matrescence and motherhood can have, especially for me as a business owner has been one of my greatest findings over the last few years, and I recommend her to everyone. My gratitude knows no bounds! Thank you Lauren for always being there in my corner, teaching me so much and allowing me to expand in my life and business even throughout some of the scariest most difficult, most exhausting, Frustrating and difficult times. Work with Lauren , if you possibly can- she is everything you need and more.”

Sacred Space Holding
“Lauren is a unique soul who brings kindness, care and her down to earth touch to everything she does. I'm so glad to have found her; and to have taken part in her women's circles, both in person and online. I have found time to connect more deeply to myself and my needs, whilst feeling held in a safe space with humour and like-minded souls. In particular Lauren's rest sessions are deeply nourishing and replenishing, and have been such a lifesaver as a busy Mum. I highly recommend getting in touch if you are curious.”

Sacred Space Holding
“Every time we come together in circle it is magical, sacred and has a medicinal quality that nothing else can touch. To be able to share, sing, drum, talk, cry, laugh and be totally honest with yourself and others is so nourishing and I believe it truly needs to become a part of every persons lives once again. Lauren creates a beautiful space for everyone to feel able to connect with each other and be comfortable to give and to receive in equal measures.”

Human Design
“My session with Lauren was amazing and I am so pleased to have found Human Design. It has reminded me of parts of myself that were there but laying dormant and has brought me to a deeper understanding of my life and soul purpose. There were so many penny drop moments and the way that she intuitively guides and explains each area of my chart made so much sense. It's really helped me in my business and my personal relationships with others offering me a space to expand, heal and step into my power.”
Alice Rose, Intuitive Artist & Photographer

Sacred Space Holding
“I can’t recommend Lauren enough. She has an innate ability to guide you to, and down, the paths you need to walk to realise your journey. The compassion, wisdom and warmth she brought to every session, coupled with her professional tools created a space for me to really explore a new layer every session. I am really grateful to her for creating that space to hold me safe; without her I know that my unfolding wouldn’t have been as expansive.”

“Lauren has been a guide and source of support and wisdom for me during a big period of transformation. She’s helped me to connect to my heart and my innate wisdom and strength. Her sessions have been so grounding and nurturing.”

Human Design
“Lauren is extremely knowledgeable and intuitive and the whole session was super insightful. She was able to answer questions and give me practical guidance around the best approaches for marketing, advertising and networking - all of which felt so comfortable and easy to implement.
I have since found all of these things much less stressful and am having more fun creating things I love, which is helping my business grow! I feel as though I understand myself a little more and have the confirmation that it is natural for me to approach things differently and that this is actually a necessity for me.
I wish that I had connected with Lauren sooner and I highly recommend her to anyone who would like to understand themselves and how to navigate the world a little more.”

“Thank you so much Lauren for a magical, illuminating tour through the deep path of my soul! Your guidance was heartfelt and intuitive whilst also being deeply informed and wise.
I received so many beautiful, joyful insights and rememberings, it truly felt like a coming home to myself. I relish the integration that this reading will bring and love having the gift of the recording to return to as indeed I will do. There was so much depth and information that I feel like I will learn a little extra on each listen.
I would highly recommend this reading for anyone who likes to know more about themselves, their inner workings and their soul purpose. Definitely an essential life tool!”

Branding & Website Creation
“Working with Lauren to create my branding and website has been the smoothest and sweetest experience. Her capacity to tune in with my vision whilst holding a most professional and highly organised space for the work to come together is unmatched. She is steady and diligent and as a person who tends toward disorganization a lot in life, she made it so simple for me and I was never unsure on what was expected of me during the creative process which we shared together with so much passion. I now have a brand template which is so fluid, it can evolve with anything I decide to create. I also have a website that reflects my true present iteration in my ever-evolving work and I also have full confidence in using it. We lovingly transferred my digital products over from kajabi and it was seamless and it looks so beautiful. I cannot recommend lauren highly enough, she is a powerhouse.”

Branding & Website Design
"It is hard to put into words the breadth of Lauren's holding. It is as deep as it is wide. She played the King and the Queen, the Jester and the Wise Woman. She created, she held, she guided, she mentored, she danced, she loved and she visioned. She felt, deep into the Essence of Things, and she spoke what she found there. You could not be in better hands."

Website Design
“Working with Lauren has been an absolute joy. Her ability to really listen, then intuitively connect to my offering meant the creative process flowed beautifully. What felt daunting and a bit scary at the outset became a pleasurable, creative exploration into the essence of my business and how I want to share her with the world. I feel so proud and delighted with what we created. I am also able to navigate and manage the site myself thanks to her great teaching. Lauren is a beautiful soul with a gift for creating gorgeous spaces for our work to be seen.”

“Lauren has a unique ability to make the website creation process feel sacred. It felt juicy and meaningful, and I loved our collaboration as much as the result! It is so important to have a space that truly expresses who you are and captures the essence of what you do. This is exactly what Lauren did; she created an online home for me that is both soulful and practical, gorgeous and efficient, and more “me” than it’s ever been!”

“Working with Lauren was the best decision I've made for my business. Lauren very quickly understood the style and concept I was trying to go for. She captured this beyond what I could have anticipated or done myself and has provided me with the most beautiful platform that I am so excited for my future clients to see. My website is fundamental for representing who I am and the services I offer and Lauren brought my dreams and vision to life.”

“Lauren has created a wonderful website for me. It was such a joyful process from start to finish. From choosing the brand colours through to helping me with the practicalities of updating the website going forward, it’s all been so lovely! The website is more than I could have hoped for. She has reflected me and my business perfectly and would highly recommend her helping you bring your website to life too.”

"I chose to receive Lauren’s support with creating my brand and felt completely inspired by her process. I loved the deep thoroughness of her curiosity in truly knowing what I desired with my brand and website. I felt deeply supported by Lauren and trusted her ability to understand my vision and dream for our creation. I will forever feel grateful for her creating and birthing this creation, keeping the integrity of my heart’s purpose and feminine expression without the project feeling too overwhelming or business focused. Such a beautiful journey with Lauren.”

Sacred Space Holding
“The magic and remembrance that happens in your held space is not easy to describe in linear words. Much of your guidance through dropping in and via your questions unlock some codes and inner knowing that’s inside of me. I appreciate your constant invitation and allowing to choose myself versus pushing your own way of seeing things. That feels liberating and deeply nourishing. Also somehow, and yet not surprisingly, the women that gather in your held spaces are just beyond amazing and so the mystery of group healing and expansion happens as well.”
Jurate Bendziute, Women’s Embodiment Coach

Branding & Website Design
"My work with Lauren was much more than a website creation. It truly felt like a birth and Lauren was the most amazing Doula I could have asked for. I can be quite specifics in my desires and she was infinitely patient in helping to manifest them into physical online form. Her patience, her kindness, her creativity, I loved working with her.
She was honest when something wasn't working while also allowing me to experiment and play as much as I want even if things weren't quite coming together. I can honestly say I love my website, I feel so deeply proud to share it and that has already made a huge difference in my business . Thank you so much Lauren, truly a blessing to go on this journey with you!"

Human Design
“I am so grateful to discover Human Design and to Lauren for gifting me this level of personal awareness. It has been such an illuminating experience, offering precious insights to understand my authentic self, give words to what I already knew to be true and given me loving ownership of the parts I have kept hidden in the dark, denied or misunderstood. It has enabled me to tap into the source waiting dormant to discover my soul potential and come into alignment with my life purpose. I still return to my recording, which has helped to integrate and embrace my strengths and understand when I'm not living in alignment with my type. Knowing my strategy informs how I relate to others with greater awareness, giving me clarity in all areas of life, from how I work, communicate and show up in the world. Deepening my relationships with others and most importantly myself.”

Website Design
“We chose Lauren to create our new website for Waking The Wild… despite the fact we have website design skills in the team and despite the fact we already had designed a whole new brand and website which was just waiting for some tweaks and copy updates before we released it! This should tell you something about how impressed we were with Lauren and what she offers. Lauren brings a rare mix of both technical capability and also the “softer” (but as least as important) skills of deep listening, understanding and co-creating in a way that honours the spirit of a business and everyone who is part of it. Lauren managed it all incredibly well - she was warm, calm, responsive, flexible and straightforward. I truly couldn’t be happier with both our website and the experience of working with Lauren, and I can wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“Lauren was the most beautifully kind and intuitive person to work with. Everything was done so immaculately. She was so understanding, accommodating and flexible with my very organic timescale. I was extremely impressed by the quality and presentation of the site. I was so supported with the whole process she was able to capture the essence and birth my vision into reality. Thank you Lauren.”
Jess Williams, The Chalice Temple

Website Design
"From our first conversation I felt excited, held and seen, Lauren created some new look and feel potentials for the brand and then we worked together to weave this within a ‘more grown up’ version of the older branding and wow I would never have of had both the bravery and insight to use the colours we chose, but I am so so glad we did. The process of building the site was as effortless as could be, it was a pretty intense period of life and life kept throwing things at me but Lauren with her grounded and present energy kept me going at a speed which felt so supportive and safe. The result of what Lauren created is far greater than I imagined, it feels earthy, homely and yet has the twinkle of the old branding within. Thank you Lauren for seeing my vision and guiding and birthing her.”

"Working with Lauren was an incredible journey, and I am so pleased with what has been created as a result of working together. Every step of the way, Lauren was there to support, guide and hold the space, even when I found the process challenging. Her care and understanding was crucial in allowing the best and most heartfelt version of myself come to life through the work. I am so grateful to her!”

"Working with Lauren has been a life-changing process, unearthing much about myself while consolidating my offerings with a new online home. She has created a space that feels like more mature and authentic reflection of me and where I am on my journey. Creating a website in my namesake felt exposing and incredibly vulnerable... yet entirely possible with Lauren's love, nurturing and support. I cannot recommend Lauren or her work more highly, from the visual design to practical aspects and personal development. Birthing this website has been an initiation and rebirth of myself with Lauren as my design Doula."

"Lauren is not only a soul business midwife/doula she is a deeply intuitive coach and creative genius. I was so nervous about launching my new online home for Family Nutrition, but she's been with me every step of the way helping me bring to life the vision I've had for so long but didn't quite know how to birth into 3D reality. I am so grateful for all her support and guidance and am excited to continue working with The Heart Work studio as my brand develops over time."

“Sweet Lauren, I cannot thank you enough for your patience, gentle support, and creativity throughout this entire process. You have such a beautiful holistic way of attuning to long-term visions while simplifying and supporting the 'short term, nuts, and bolts' of the behind the scenes. What a beautiful online sanctuary my business gets to rest, expand, and dream bigger dreams.”

Branding & Website Design
“This has been much more than a journey of a website ~ even that wording feeling so very limited for what has been created through the weaving of visions, feelings, emotions, the evoking of what it truly feels to be held in the spaces we share together. There has been a process for me of really seeing and feeling the enormity of what has been shared through my being into the world and lives of so many women, the community formed, the sisterhoods, the shares, the ripples of transformation that move beyond the space and time we gather. I am so deeply humbled to have been held through this transition by Lauren as I have ~ and still am in a very deep internal rebirth myself.”

“Working with Lauren was like a breath of fresh air. Having tried so long to create my website myself, I knew deep inside the feeling and expression of myself that I so wanted to create but it was so difficult to actually create it. I had the feeling of what I so desired, but I couldn't express that in in the context of a website. Lauren however, absolutely has that talent. I shared what was in my heart and Lauren then visioned and created my essence. I could talk about the website about the design features and how great it is, but at its essence what she did was show my heart in my website. The whole process was smooth and I felt lovingly supported, guided and held. I would wholeheartedly love to work with Lauren again my website evolves over time. From the bottom of my heart thank you, I couldn't have done it without you.”

“Working with Lauren was simply beautiful. She made the whole process from the point of first contact, to website visualisation and creation so easy, aligned and inspiring. Not once did it feel difficult or complicated. She mapped out the perfect structure after having taken the time to get to understand me and my vision.
I trusted her to guide me in both the design and content process. It felt very much like a team effort and I really appreciated her ability to give me the confidence to speak with my own voice. That was really empowering. Nothing felt rushed. Lauren also created the perfect logo and rose motif that represents exactly what I was looking for in my branding. She was so patient as we searched for the right font and allowed me as much time as I needed to think things through.
Lauren works in an intuitive way that I love. I 100% recommend everything about Lauren. She is the only person I will go to for branding and website design.”

“Working with Lauren has been an absolute dream. Our time together became so much more than just developing a new online home. It was an exploration of the deepest parts of me, my soul mission and the legacy I would like to leave. It has been a wonderful journey to share with Lauren and I am so proud of what we have created together.
Lauren tenderly held space for me to explore the essence of my branding as we explored my vision, mission and soul purpose, all leading towards the creation of the most stunning website. I’m absolutely over the moon with my new logo, the soothing colour palette that I could just melt into and visual anchors that help to reflect my work so wonderfully.
Thank you Lauren - you are a beautiful soul, wonderful to work with, so incredibly creative and an all round superb tech whiz who has helped me navigate the technology with ease and grace. I feel blessed to have shared this journey with you, and am totally in love with our creation.”
