Dr. Wren McLaughlin (she/her) is an Integrative Women’s Health Coach and Physical Therapist born and raised on the ancestral homelands of Nooksack, Lummi and other Coast Salish peoples and descended from Anglo European peoples. Wren is a student of embodiment in her own inheritance and creation story. She is passionate about guiding others toward greater health and wellbeing while acknowledging this land, peoples, and all living beings who reside here have experienced loss and harm.
We are all seeking renewal into something as yet unimagined and embodiment (which she defines as experiencing a sense of home inside your body) is one pathway toward this renewal that Wren has been exploring for the past 25 years.
Learning more about how we can relate to our breasts as part of our wholeness is foundational to Wren's approach to women's health. In her facilitation, Wren holds space for your presence, in your humanity, with all your identities, cultures, ancestors, orientations, physical abilities, traumas, and joys as part of the collective creation story.

What if I have physical limitations, pain, or have had breast surgery or cancer treatments? Can I participate?
This workshop is designed for all bodies in all stages of health and healing. You will be offered choice in all activities and I will support everyone to listen inward and explore what feels safe and nourishing. If you are actively undergoing radiation or chemotherapy please contact me directly, If you have specific limitations, I ask that you share those with us on the pre-workshop survey so that I will be able to better support any modifications you might need.
What is Qigong?
Qigong, an ancient Chinese practice, focuses on promoting health and healing by incorporating movement, breathwork, and meditation. The vital life force energy within you holds immense power. By understanding the sensation of energy flowing through your body, you can feel more connected and empowered to navigate life's challenges and joys.
