In addition, Dr. Lauren serves on the Board of Directors for the Psychedelic Pharmacists Association and as secretary of the board for Con Smania Transformational Retreat Center in Costa Rica.

Dr. Lauren received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Ohio Northern University in 2013 and her Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States in 2018.
