Lauren Cortes: A Leader in Holistic Therapy

Lauren’s passion for holistic healing is rooted in her own family’s experiences with addiction. Growing up, she witnessed her father’s struggle with addiction, an experience that deeply impacted her perspective on healing and wellness. Watching him navigate the challenges of addiction and recovery, she realized that true healing requires more than just willpower—it demands a deep understanding of the mind, body, and spirit.

Driven by a desire to make a greater impact, Lauren made the courageous decision to leave her corporate lifestyle behind and dedicate herself fully to holistic wellness and healing practices. This life-changing choice led her to Arizona, where she found a community that aligned with her passion for holistic therapy and self-discovery.

Lauren’s story is one of courage, transformation, and purpose. By bringing her personal experiences, passion for holistic therapy, and unwavering dedication to her work, Lauren is helping reshape addiction recovery—proving that true healing comes from nurturing the whole self: mind, body, and spirit.

Benefits of Holistic Therapy

  • Stress and Anxiety Reduction

    Holistic therapies like Vinyasa Yoga help regulate the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety levels. These practices encourage deep breathing, mindfulness, and relaxation, which lower cortisol levels and promote emotional balance. By integrating these modalities into recovery, individuals can develop healthier coping mechanisms to manage triggers and stressors without turning to substances.

  • Enhanced Self-Awareness and Emotional Healing

    Holistic therapy encourages introspection and self-discovery through practices like Human Design Classes. These tools help individuals understand their emotions, thought patterns, and personal strengths. By increasing self-awareness, residents can identify and heal past trauma, improve their relationships, and cultivate a stronger sense of purpose in their sobriety journey.

  • Strengthened Mind-Body Connection

    Recovery is not just about mental healing—it’s also about physical well-being. Practices like Vinyasa Yoga and Breathwork improve physical strength, flexibility, and circulation while simultaneously fostering a deeper connection between the body and mind. This connection helps individuals recognize and process emotional pain, build resilience, and develop a more balanced and harmonious lifestyle.

What does holistic mean?

The term “holistic” comes from the Greek word holos, meaning “whole.” Holistic therapy focuses on treating all aspects of a person’s well-being—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual—rather than simply addressing symptoms. This approach promotes balance and self-healing, helping individuals achieve long-term wellness.

Holistic vs. traditional therapy

Traditional therapy primarily addresses mental health concerns using talk therapy, medication, and behavioral interventions. While effective, this approach may overlook the connection between physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

On the other hand, holistic therapy integrates multiple healing modalities to treat the whole person. This method recognizes that mental health, physical wellness, and spirituality are interconnected, and sustainable recovery comes from nurturing all aspects of the self.

In the realm of addiction recovery, holistic therapy plays a crucial role in healing by addressing the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected elements of well-being. Unlike traditional methods that primarily focus on psychological and behavioral aspects, holistic therapy takes a more comprehensive and integrative approach, ensuring that individuals receive support on multiple levels. At Plugged In Recovery, this philosophy is brought to life by Holistic Wellness Instructor Lauren Cortes, who is dedicated to helping individuals find balance, strength, and self-awareness throughout their recovery journey.
