"We are so grateful to Lauren for the wonderful work she did on the Saiseikai playroom and garden renovation project in Tokyo. Her insights and solutions have made an immediate difference in the lives of the children there and will have an impact for many years to come. The children's caregivers say they already notice a difference in their own energy and well being when in the newly painted room. We look forward to having Lauren back to collaborate on future renovation projects involving children with special needs."

"The change we saw in our son from Lauren's makeover was amazing! We did not expect him to warm up to any environment so quickly. Our son was diagnosed with Autism almost a year ago. He has very little language and his surroundings tend to set him off for no reason. Lauren came in and gave him an environment that has opened him up in ways we could have never imagined. He fell asleep within 15 minutes of being put to bed the first night! It has been an ongoing blessing to watch him daily going to bed faster, staying asleep longer, and waking up calmer. Our little boy is relaxed for the first time. He is comfortable with his room, his bed, and himself. Lauren gave us peace as parents, but more importantly she gave our son peace."

"The room that Lauren designed for my son has been wonderful for him. The calming blue tones and 'outer space' theme are perfect for him. He has spent more time playing in his room and seems to really enjoy his surroundings. The design elements that she suggested have been a great fit in his 'new' room and very functional as well! We have been very happy with the outcome and can't thank Lauren enough!!"

"When we finished remodeling our home, my boys were going to move into a room together. I have one with autism and a second with ADHD. I knew I needed someone who specialized in children with sensory needs and wouldn't do the usual bright colors and open toy bins.

Lauren had amazing suggestion and followed through with amazing results. Her insight into my own boys was so valuable and has created a space that is "cool" without being overwhelming. I would highly recommend her work.""

"We noticed almost immediately the difference in both Jon Russ and Adrian for the first time they both began sleeping through the night IN THEIR OWN ROOM! For several years Adrian would constantly have trouble falling asleep in his room and would literally come and sit outside our door until we would let him in to sleep with us; naturally Jon Russ would follow suit now they've definitely calmed down in the evenings, spend more time in their room with OUT me having to say a word and sleep in THEIR room. We're very happy with the results! Thank you!"

"Our twin boys got excited from the moment we unwrapped their customized rocking chairs. Reading and telling stories has a whole new meaning for them now... they seem very relaxed and soothed by the colors used. Lauren really did a great job of listening to what each of our boys liked and it shows in her work. Thank you for caring, listening and giving us a great tool for our family."

"The children were so thrilled to hear what With a Brush of Love and Lauren's personalized artwork represented, and there was place to add their experiences and emotions through their own expression within the artwork. It really brightens up the Teen Room and is a powerful example of what the Tri-Delta members, alumni and St. Jude's children can accomplish."

"This artwork has enhanced the quality of the atmosphere...the colors and patterns...speak to the richness and fullness of my heritage and allow me to experience the unspoken connection to my ancestry."

"I noticed that my son was able to calm down a little more quickly at the end of the evening when I put him in his room. This made bedtime much easier... THANK YOU!"
