Lauren Blandin

Lauren Blandin, DNP, FNP - BC is a Doctor of Nursing Practice, board certified Family Nurse Practitioner, former professional ballet dancer, and the Founder of Fertility Yoga — a mind-body approach to fertility, nervous system regulation, and feminine embodiment.

Bridging ancient Eastern practices with modern Western medical science, Lauren works at the intersection of medicine, neuroscience, somatics, spirituality, and embodiment to support women navigating the profound physical and emotional thresholds surrounding fertility, identity, and motherhood.

Her work particularly resonates with women who have spent much of their lives in achievement, responsibility, and self-reliance — women deeply accustomed to performing, managing, anticipating, and holding everything together externally while often feeling disconnected from themselves internally.

While undergoing her own fertility treatments, Lauren recognized a significant gap between the clinical management of fertility care and the lived psychological and physiological experience of women moving through it. Though fertility treatments are medically sophisticated, the chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, grief, uncertainty, hypervigilance, and disconnection many women experience between appointments often go unsupported.

Drawing upon more than two decades of immersive study in yoga, meditation, somatic practice, and Eastern philosophy alongside her medical training, Lauren developed Fertility Yoga — an integrative approach designed to safely support women throughout egg stimulation, IVF, fertility treatments, and reproductive transitions.

Her work is rooted in the understanding that fertility is never merely a medical experience — it is also a somatic, emotional, neurological, relational, and deeply human one.

Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, neuroscience, and self inquiry, Lauren helps women restore relationship with themselves, their bodies, and the possibility of life unfolding differently than they imagined. Her approach cultivates safety within the body while fostering resilience, embodiment, emotional steadiness, and compassion during times of profound uncertainty and change.

Lauren’s journey of somatic inquiry began through her training and career as a professional ballet dancer, where discipline, performance, perfectionism, and physical awareness shaped her relationship to movement and embodiment. She later spent over two decades teaching yoga, meditation, and as a massage therapist, specializing in orthopedic conditions, musculoskeletal recovery, and chronic pain management.

Trained in the Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions under Maty Ezraty and Gabriel Halpern, and as a longtime Vipassana meditation practitioner, Lauren teaches both beginners and experienced practitioners with a rare integration of clinical knowledge, technical precision, intuitive depth, and lived embodiment.

Her work ultimately guides women back into relationship with themselves — not only through fertility, but through the larger experience of becoming.
