Lauren LaRocca spent most of her life in Appalachia (Pittsburgh to Western Maryland to Asheville to West Virginia), stopped in Baltimore for a short time, lived nomadically for a while (read about that here), and landed in Northern New Mexico in 2019.

After studying creative writing at Warren Wilson College, she’s worked as an arts and culture writer and editor for various publications.

Her interests in transpersonal psychology, astrology, Human Design, energy work, and plant medicine have led her to become an astrologer, herbalist, and Reiki Master. She draws from her studies in metaphysics, dreamwork, Eastern religion, Jungian archetypes, Western herbalism, Zen Buddhism, and meditation in her work and hopes to inspire others to let the heart lead.
