Artist to Healer
Remedial Massage Therapist • Reiki Master
Lauren Baylor began her journey in the creative arts, studying at an art college in Ireland. Her keen eye for tone, texture, and light guided her exploration of visual storytelling through various media. She often found herself in liminal spaces—libraries, sketchbooks, studios—questioning the elusive charm of creativity and searching for new ways to view the world.
But it was a sudden injury while working in a bronze casting foundry in Sydney that became a profound turning point. In 2017, a serious lower back injury and sciatic nerve damage forced Lauren to look inward. She laid down the brush and picked up the pen—not just as a tool for expression, but as a means of survival and healing. Through breathwork, writing, and paint, she began to transmute pain into presence.
Support from physiotherapy and deep work with an Internal Family Systems (IFS) counsellor opened new doorways within. The same sensitivity that once shaped her art began to illuminate the inner landscape of emotion, memory, and embodiment. Passion and purpose merged. Her healing journey became her new canvas.
Today, Lauren is fully healed—without surgery—and continues to nurture strength through mindful attention and ongoing self-discovery. She holds a Diploma in Remedial Massage and is certified in Intuitive Massage, blending anatomical knowledge with holistic insight to support the body’s natural capacity to heal.
As a Reiki Master, Lauren channels universal life force energy to assist others in rebalancing and releasing. Where once she painted with pigment, she now attunes to the shifting hues of her clients’ chakras. Her work is guided by presence, intuition, and the subtle art of listening.
Over two decades have passed since the tragic loss of her father, and more than a decade since she made Australia her home. Her life has been a wild, brave journey of healing—embracing polarities, rediscovering purpose, and now holding space for others on their own paths.
Lauren believes creativity and curiosity are potent tools for transformation. With hands, breath, and heart, she offers a space where body and soul can come home to themselves.✨

‘The tears were not from physical limits but the awareness that there is no way out but through. She had to take a different approach, to learn her body anew…she had to face her most creative battle and turn her weakness (risk of paralysis in right leg) into power…she began to listen and a new pathway unfurled…’
The Back Story, a work in progress, about recognising how her spinal flaw could lead to a fortuitous turning point…’
