ABOUT Lauren

I’m Lauren Russell—artist, therapist, ritualist, and dancer of the unseen.

Art was my first language. It is how I came to know communion. How I grounded into my life with harmony and created my place within the Universe.

Before I held space for others in healing, I painted, sculpted, dreamed and awakened with my hands. Though my tools have changed—brushes traded for breath, pigment for presence—the thread remains: I have always been devoted to beauty, soul, and the mystery of becoming.

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of psyche, soma, and spirit—guiding individuals, couples, and communities through deep transformational thresholds. My background in mental health and psychotherapy offers embodied fluency in working with the nervous system, while my life as an artist and ceremonialist allows me to speak the mythopoetic language of the soul.

My work is for those who are ready to remember. To dance back into their being. To hear their own story as sacred. To reclaim the temple of the body as a vessel of joy, wisdom, and power.

At Fleur de Miel, I offer:

• Ecstatic Dance & Contemplative Dance Practice – Ritual movement journeys that awaken the body’s memory and return us to the rhythm of truth.

• Somatic Integration & Therapeutic Work – For those moving through transitions, initiations, or the aftermath of non-ordinary states of consciousness.

• Couples Somatic Work – For partners wanting to reconnect, deepen intimacy, and embody new ways of relating.

• Retreats & Workshops – Both locally and internationally, weaving sacred space, movement, myth, and healing in community.

          •.            Speaking events (corporate wellness, integrative wellness,etc…)

Whether you’re emerging from a great unraveling or standing at the edge of becoming, I meet you in the liminal—the place where the sacred hums just beneath the surface- and guide you to ground your unique vision, essence and joy into reality.

Fleur de Miel is not just a name. It’s an invitation into the sweet, golden layers of your own aliveness. A sanctuary where you can remember why you are here—and how to live as if it matters.
