Lauren Eichler
Lauren earned both her Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) from University of New England and is currently awaiting active status of her conditional licensure. During this interim period, Lauren is offering non-clinical life coaching services focused on personal growth, motivation, wellness, self-awareness, goal development, and life transitions. She has experience facilitating support groups for children, teens, and adults and enjoys supporting individuals as they navigate periods of change, identity exploration, and intentional personal growth. Lauren brings a warm, strengths-based, and mindfulness-informed approach to her coaching work, helping clients build confidence, strengthen insight, and move toward lives that feel more aligned, balanced, and meaningful.
Originally from the Midwest, Lauren is now very happy to call Maine home. Living here has deepened her appreciation for nature and the grounding role it can play in everyday life. She enjoys being by the ocean, gardening, hiking, and spending time outdoors, especially during Maine’s spring, summer, and fall seasons. In quieter moments, Lauren enjoys reading, painting, knitting by the fireplace in the winter, and finding creative ways to slow down and reconnect.
Outside of her work, Lauren values connection, curiosity, authenticity, and growth. She is passionate about supporting people as they move toward greater balance, intentional living, and alignment with their personal values and goals. She shares her home with her family, along with a lively group of animals, including four very snuggly bunnies, a cat, a dog named Rudi (a goldendoodle rescue and certified therapy dog), and plenty of chickens.

Coaching Philosophy
At The Canvas of Life Counseling, LLC, life coaching is rooted in the belief that individuals already hold the capacity for growth, change, and direction within themselves. Coaching provides a supportive and structured space to gain clarity, build momentum, and move forward with intention.
This approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and focused on the present and future. It emphasizes practical strategies, personal accountability, and alignment with values to help individuals navigate challenges, make decisions, and create meaningful progress in their lives.
Life coaching is designed to support forward movement through life’s transitions and obstacles, offering guidance and structure without replacing or replicating clinical mental health services.
