How we got here
Reclaiming Wellness Therapies was established in 2023, after Lauren along with her partner who grew up and worked in the Isaac region, relocated from Brisbane towards the end of 2022.
Recognising the unique needs of the community and the value of her expertise, Lauren quickly became a pivotal part to Moranbah's health and wellness community. Collaborating with local services like Navicare, Isaac region’s health navigation service, and Feros Care, the Local Area Coordinator for the NDIS, she has deeply integrated into the area, offering vital counselling services and insights on pressing health issues.
Despite its young roots, Reclaiming Wellness Therapies is rapidly evolving into an important resource for enhancing the wellbeing of individuals in remote areas, emphasising diversity and accessibility in mental health support. Lauren’s vision is to expand the reach of her support, ensuring that no individual is left behind in the pursuit of mental health and overall wellbeing.
