Lauren Girgash - Consultant

Lauren Girgash’s journey to educator wellness began in the classroom. She is a proud former public school teacher, starting her career as a high school English teacher for one year, eventually making her way to the world of junior high, teaching Language Arts for seven more years. After earning a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors University and an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Lauren founded Livable Learning, a wellness company dedicated to decreasing burnout, increasing retention, and fueling fulfillment among educators. Her company is on a mission to empower Whole Teachers—teachers who confidently utilize strategies to prioritize their health and happiness inside and outside the classroom. Lauren’s Whole Teacher framework highlights 12 holistic health categories, emphasizing the wide range of factors impacting teachers’ wellness. Lauren presents at various conferences and leads Whole Teacher Cohorts and workshops at schools across the country.
