Lauren Boiros

The Transformative Journey of LaurZen: From Glamour to Holistic Living Lauren Boiros, formerly a print model and commercial actress in Las Vegas and Hollywood, embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery that led her to Thailand in 2014. Driven by a desire for deeper connections with herself and the world, she accepted a friend's invitation and took a one-way ticket with her dog to Chiang Mai, Thailand. This decision marked the beginning of Lauren's metamorphosis into “LaurZen.” In Chiang Mai, Lauren found the simplicity and stillness she craved, away from the fast-paced Western world. A 2-month visit turned into 6 years of powerful healing shifts. By shedding her vanity and ego through shaving her head, and meditating with monks in a monastery, she embraced a more grounded lifestyle. Lauren traded her heels for sandals and added "ZEN" to her name. Over the last 12 years, Lauren has dedicated herself as a “conscious caregiver” educating students in Thailand and the United States. She founded Laurzen Jewelry, a brand that features handcrafted jewelry created by Thai women, embodying a spirit of love and care in each piece. Lauren has also delved into various trainings including Ayurveda Health Coaching and Cooking, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and Craniosacral Therapy, enriching her understanding and skills in holistic practices. At her “other home,” Orange County, California, Lauren leads women's circles, yoga “under the stars,” & sound healing events in her community. Driven by her own path of self-discovery, freedom, and transformation, Lauren created "The Journey to Freedom" Retreat, a culmination of her experiences and discoveries. This 7-day experience is designed to provide a safe haven for healing and exploration. The retreat empowers women to travel purposefully, connect with themselves and others, and step into their true power. Women who attend this retreat will leave ready to take on their roles as moms, daughters, partners, and friends, with a renewed sense of purpose and resilience. It is an invitation for all women to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery, find freedom in authenticity, and live a life aligned with their deepest truths. Join us and add ZEN to your name.
