About Lauren Ostrowski Fenton

Hello, lovely one, I’m Lauren.  

I’m a counsellor, meditation teacher, and creator of gentle sleep and anxiety supports. My work is for thoughtful, sensitive humans who want to feel safer in their own minds and softer in their own bodies—especially at the quiet edges of the day.

I’ve spent years sitting with people’s stories, listening to what keeps them awake at night, and creating simple, kind tools to help. Everything I make is designed to be realistic, compassionate, and do‑able even when you’re tired or overwhelmed.

A little bit about my background

- I hold an **Honours degree in Arts (Anthropology)**  
- I have a **Master’s in Counselling**  
- I’ve worked for many years in counselling and mental health, with a special focus on anxiety, self‑kindness, and sleep  

My academic training helps me understand people in context—how culture, family, and experience shape the way we think and feel. My counselling work helps me translate that understanding into gentle, practical support you can actually use at 2 am when your thoughts are loud.

Where you might know me from

Over time, a beautiful community has gathered around this work:

- 25 million+ views on YouTube 
- 27 million+ podcast downloads  
- 52,000+ friends on Instagram

Across all of these spaces, my intention is the same: to offer a calm, honest, human voice that says, “You are not broken. You are not alone. And there are small, kind things we can do to help.”

My courses on Teachable

If you’d like to go deeper, I also offer online courses on Teachable, including:

- Free Download  Reflection guide mini course
  A gentle reflection guide and process to help you check in with yourself, notice what you need, and live more in line with your values—with kindness rather than self‑criticism.

- Beyond Anxiety 
  A supportive, psychology‑informed journey to understand your anxiety, soften its grip, and build practical tools for everyday life, while staying compassionate with yourself.

- Sleep Mastery 
  A step‑by‑step course to help you create kinder, more realistic sleep rituals: blending self‑compassion, breathwork, environment shifts, and emotional skills so you can move towards more restful nights without pressure or perfectionism.

These courses sit alongside the tiny tools in this store, giving you options: you can take one small step with a card or audio—or dive into a fuller, structured journey when you’re ready.

 What I create here

In this Shopify store, you’ll find tiny, gentle tools for anxious minds and restless nights—things like:

- bedtime reassurance packs  
- tiny coping skills  
- soft, structured supports for when you wake in the night  

These are not “fix yourself overnight” programs. They’re small, cosy companions: cards, audios, short practices and rituals you can lean on when you’re too tired for anything complicated.

My work is guided by a few simple beliefs:

- You don’t need to be “perfect” to deserve rest.  
- You are allowed to be sensitive, overwhelmed, and still deeply worthy of compassion.  
- Real change is often built from very small, very kind steps taken consistently over time.

 Why I do this

I know how lonely anxiety and sleeplessness can feel—especially when everyone else seems to be coping just fine.  

My hope is that when you use one of these tools—or join me in a course—you feel a little less alone, a little more held, and a little more able to breathe.

Thank you for being here, for your softness, and for letting me be part of your world.  

With warmth,  
Lauren
