About the Educator: Lauren Tanner MSN, RN, AHN-BC, is an Advanced Holistic Nurse and Herbalist, with over 10 years of experience in the healthcare system. She is originally from Orlando, FL, where she started her nursing career and then transitioned to travel nursing for 7 years. During her travel nursing experiences, she worked with oncology and chronic illness populations in a variety of settings. Desiring more education on holistic health practices, she pursued further professional education in advanced holistic nursing and herbalism. During that time, she developed a view of health as one of healing the mind, body, and spirit and that nature is a valuable tool for connection and healing. She has a warm, personal, and grounded approach to helping people understand their unique wellness goals and the necessity for individualized integrative health practices. Her passion is studying plants and immersing herself in nature and her home gardens. Today, Lauren teaches holistic health and herbal education through her consulting business, Honest Thriving; creating experiences that provide relaxation, clarity, and self-awareness to help people make informed decisions that align best with their individual wellness. She also crafts small batch seasonal therapeutic herbal support to support her community through Everyday Herbals.
