The Creative Corner: Where Art + Heart Come Together
Lauren is an trauma informed care specialist working with children in Kenya. Her work is rooted in the quiet magic of childhood, the healing power of creativity, and the beauty found in everyday moments. With a trauma-informed approach at the core of all she does, she nurtures safe, expressive spaces for children navigating complex emotions and layered life stories.
This is a place for gentle projects, soulful stories, and resources grounded in compassion, creativity, and care.
Whether she’s gathered around the art table in East Africa or painting abstract galaxy landscapes in her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, Lauren brings the same heart-led intention to her work: to notice beauty, honor process, and invite others to slow down and make something meaningful.
