Practitioner Profile

LAUREN BATEMAN, MS, RN, CS-P
STRESS MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES/
FAMILY COACHING

Background & Experience
 

Lauren’s nursing career began at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Neurosciences Acute Care. Providing an integrative model of “bio/psycho/social nursing acquired during her Bachelor of Science Nursing Program, she informally and quickly became the staff’s “emotional consultant” for patient and family care. Within a year, she was promoted to a senior clinical role with additional responsibilities of management and education. She majored in Psychiatric Consultation-Liaison in her Master of Science program and joined the Department of Psychiatry to learn the clinical aspects of psychiatric conditions. This provided a competent basis for doing hospital-wide clinical consultation, which she provided for the following ten years, first for The Johns Hopkins Hospital, and then for the James Lawrence Kernan Rehabilitation Hospital. During all of her work experience, she has provided care to teenagers, young adults, women, men, and the elderly. For the past 11 years, Lauren has independently studied natural ways to achieve health and well being.


Treatment Philosophy
 

Health equates with balance of mind, body, and spirit. Complementary and integrative healthcare facilitate one’s inner healing processes in all 3 of these interrelated domains through nurturing self-empowerment. Strengthening of the individual’s own healing capacity requires an active process and often involves treatment of the root cause with holistic results. We are living with a tremendous amount of distress. Make an appointment to:

  1. learn various stress management techniques and tools to enable you to inner balance in a safe way, or
  2. learn proven techniques and strategies to achieve empowered, successful relationships with your spouse and children.
Lauren has much good news to share, and looks forward to helping those who are motivated to achieve greater wellness.

She also has certification from the American Hypnosis Training Academy and is a member of the Stepfamily Foundation Counselor Network of New York City. She has experiential knowledge from providing clinical care for 20 years.
