Lauren Shields
Lauren, originally from Illinois, is a second generation yoga/pilates instructor, and classically trained ballerina. She moved to Atlanta in 2010 as a single mom working as a Speech Language Pathologist. After the births of her second and third children, Lauren found her true calling working with women and birthing persons throughout the childbearing year. She has identified a large gap in the fitness industry that only drives women to work towards goals of their pre-baby body and unrealistic body image in an isolating paradigm.
Her business Meraki Mama Collective strives to create space to empower and support women + birthing persons through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenthood. Teaching them mindfulness and movement practices to build and restore strength in their bodies from a stance of compassion and self love. In her studio, parents are encouraged to bring their babies to class with them, nurse as they need to, and gain tools to stay present and positive through all postpartum has in store. Most importantly, she is educating her community on the importance of proper support + care for parents, and that asking for and receiving help are the basis of a healthy family and community.
Lauren is a certified birth and postpartum doula, registered yoga instructor, a Yoga Alliance continuing education provider, registered prenatal, postpartum, and fertility yoga instructor, pilates and barre instructor. As well as carrying a Master's Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders.
She is a mother of 3 amazing humans.
