Haas Holistic

Haas Holistic private cooking classes, combined with delicious recipes, have taught me how to create healthy dishes that I actually enjoy. I’m feeling good… And it shows!
Prior to working with Lauren, I had trouble establishing healthy habits and had not succeeded with other diet plans. Her process of adjusting my eating habits in slow increments each week was manageable. I wasn’t overwhelmed, and my habits have drastically changed for the better.

Lauren is A-​class!
I can’t thank her enough for all the changes she has made not only to my nutritional life but also my mental, emotional and spiritual life. I know if/​when I hit a plateau (because we all do) I’ll be seeking her guidance to take me to my next level holistic health.
While working with Lauren, went through 3 phases. I challenged her many times throughout the process and she never got frustrated or annoyed with me. Instead, she worked with me and guided me through each phase with an open heart and lots of patience.
Phase 1: «Lauren, I already know my body and I know what I need.» I am not sure what I’ll get out of this but hopefully something. We identified pain points in my life and my habits that were making my physical, mental and spiritual body function at less than optimal levels.
Phase 2 (~4 weeks in): Frustration. I wasn’t following Lauren’s recommendations. I wasn’t reviewing my notes, and was implementing very few changes. The only thing I WAS doing was journaling all my food. «WHY does she think this is going to help anything?»
Phase 3: Surrendering. When I finally listened to Lauren, it hit me like a brick wall: «WOW! Ok, this works!»
In 3 short months I was sleeping more, drinking less coffee, had zero sugar cravings and total control over my food intake. I was feeling way better about my body and my use of time! I was feeling better about my relationship, and prioritizing the things that were truly important to me and for my well being.
Thank you Lauren for keeping me on track till the end!

Lauren has helped me change my life for the better. Her whole approach and demeanor is so wonderful. She’s friendly, genuine, and supportive! She also really helps you understand how your body works and how to make it happy. It’s not about denying yourself food to lose weight. It’s about finding better alternatives so that your body can naturally guide itself back to a healthy weight. I used to think I ate healthily, but it’s amazing how little we know about food, and how many foods that are marketed as «healthy» are really terrible for us. I never thought EVER that I could go without gluten or dairy without starving or feeling miserable. Quite the opposite! Thanks to her, my body feels great, I never feel like I am forcing myself to adapt to a lifestyle that doesn’t fit my comfort zone, my skin looks GREAT, and for the first time in a while I really feel comfortable in my body. :)

Lauren is known for her holistic nutrition coaching practice and healthy cooking but amazed my family and friends when I hired her to caterer and plan my sister’s 40^th birthday party. Lauren is indeed terrifically able on many levels and made everything so easy and enjoyable. Lauren handled everything for us from food preparation to ordering the rentals, to arranging for kitchen help. She even suggested a fabulous florist. Our buffet meal was delicious complete with repast such as truffle dressed persimmon salad, quinoa with roasted root vegetables and hazelnuts, and deconstructed Tomato-​Avocado salad. She surprised us with a delicious extra stuffed mushroom appetizer. Even the carnivores in the group, raved about the Grass-​Fed Organic Pomegranate Glazed Brisket and many happily took home leftovers. On the basis of our experience with Lauren, I would not hesitate to recommend her for any catering/​party planning job. She is gifted and working with her was a total joy.

I’ve booked Lauren to conduct nutrition /​Wellness seminars and to provide 1 on 1 nutrition couseling at my clients as part of a corporate Wellness program. She is extremely personable and professional. Also a great public speaker. Feedback from employees was extremely positive. A great complement to any Wellness program.

Lauren is an inspiration and offers practical solutions we can apply to everyday life, thus, her holistic but realistic approach. She gives great recipes and individualized insights in her personal coaching sessions, too.
