...the winding weaver...

Where nervous systems are met, and connection unfolds.

Relational, nervous-system-informed support through bodywork, presence and relationship.

welcome

You’re in the right place if…

• something in you is asking for less pressure
• you’re noticing your body more than your words
• your child experiences everyday demands as overwhelming
• you’re unsure what you need, but you know you don’t want to rush
• you want to feel met, not managed
• you’re reading this slowly — or skimming — and that feels right

Many people who find their way here are parents or other supporting adults whose nervous systems have been stretched while supporting neurodivergent children, including those with PDA-Autistic profiles.

Wherever you are right now is enough.
It’s already part of the work.

The threads below offer different ways of meeting what you’re noticing and needing.

support in times of change

I offer relational, nervous-system–informed support for individuals and families navigating overwhelm, transition, and uncertainty, including caregivers supporting neurodivergent children and living with chronic stress. I provide hands-on bodywork, attuned presence, and family support.

This is not about fixing or pushing through. It’s about being met when your system is full, and having enough support to find steadiness again.

Rather than changing who you are, this work supports the capacity to feel more settled, grounded, and whole.

The threads below reflect different ways people arrive here, all grounded in the same relational approach.

about

I think of myself as a winding weaver.
Life isn’t straight — and neither are we.

We move in curves, carrying smiles and scars, braiding interests together over time.

I was born into a world rich in handmade fibres, homegrown food, and stories, and have carried a love for nourishing, interwoven threads ever since. Over time, that love has become a practice of weaving things together — threads, experiences, bodies, and lives — creating meaning, connection, and wholeness.

I returned to the coast in 2010 as a Waldorf educator, expecting to continue an active, mountain-filled life. Instead, my body asked me to slow down. Pain became a teacher, inviting me to listen more closely and learn from within. That turning point led me into deeper study of the nervous system, trauma, and ultimately Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy — a practice that continues to shape both my personal healing and my professional work.

Becoming a parent added a powerful and tender new thread to this work. Parenting neurodivergent children has profoundly refined how I understand regulation, sensitivity, and relationship. Supporting my children has required me to attune more deeply — to my own nervous system as much as theirs — and has grounded my belief that safety is felt, not instructed. Much of what I offer has been learned through lived experience: slowing down, listening, and allowing connection to lead.

This way of moving shapes how I work — with patience, curiosity, and respect for the many ways bodies, families, and communities unfold.

I’m Lauren Baldwin, weaving this work into the body threads of Winding Weaver here in Squamish, BC — continuing what was once offered as Cranio Squamish.”

I am located in the Sea to Sky Corridor, where I have been growing roots — in place, practice, and relationship — in the unceded and traditional territory of the Sḵwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw since 2010.
