A BALANCED WARRIOR
Within the mainstream mindset of becoming a warrior, ideas around being strong, impenetrable, and tough tend to arise. However, the true essence of a balanced warrior (as what is fostered in this personalized transformation experience), is one of vulnerability, courage, and a willingness to look and heal the shadow parts of ourselves. Only from this place we can grow to become a more balanced human. This is the embodiment of a true warrior. Someone who is at peace with themselves, and willing to be of the utmost sacred service to their families, communities, and of course one who has a deep knowing of who they are, and thus, honoring the warrior within.

Lauren Maloney
Holistic Health Coach
My love for healthy living started young. I was raised in an organic household long before health foods were trendy. My mother, a personal trainer and holistic health enthusiast, healed herself through challenging health obstacles as a young woman, predominantly using food as her medicinal medium. She insisted on providing my brother and I the highest quality organic food we could afford. Regardless of our resistance as kids, holistic lifestyle choices successfully infiltrated my own preferences. I am forever grateful for her wisdom and influence.
I take a creative approach to life and my coaching. Instead of assessing health challenges from an isolated perspective, my coaching method aims to integrate the mind, body, and soul into a congruent and harmonious human system. Holistic values are inseparable to my programs. I have learned there are no shortcuts to healing and I ask my clients to invest both honesty and responsibility with themselves as we work together towards incredible results!
Being born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, a mecca of health culture, I've been gifted the accessibility to the finest quality food, numerous creative outlets for self development, and a deep affinity with nature. Martial arts molded my athletic background and also brought me very close to spiritual philosophies at a young age. I have dabbled in multiple professions, ranging from law to luxury hospitality - both have enriched my passion for connecting with people and pursuing causes I care about. I am passionate about developing myself as a conscious, compassionate coach and individual. Helping people discover and trust their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual potential is the most rewarding work I could ask for.
At the root of CHEK philosophy is to "practice what we teach." I have a close relationship to the work I will ask of you, most if not all things we discuss I practice daily in my own life. I too have struggled with burn-out, confused purpose, and reduced physical performance and speak from my heart when I say this work is a path towards the happiest you you've ever known.
I can't wait to be your coach!
