Lauren Roerick is a certified holistic health coach, specializing in depression recovery. She combines her expertise in nutrition, yoga, and cognitive behavioural therapy principles to provide students with a multi-faceted approach to combatting depression.

Lauren struggled with depression on and off for a couple of years in her early twenties, which led her to explore natural treatments including yoga, meditation, nutrition, and cognitive behavioural therapy. After completing her thesis study on alternative treatments for depression, she felt that this information wasn't readily accessible in a neat complete package. This is why she's come to Udemy to teach other's what she's learned.

She is also the creator of The Undepression Project, a website that helps to share information on depression treatment and fight the stigma associated with mental illness.
