Dedicated to Wellness, Driven by Experience

At Fostering Wellness, we’re here to support individuals and organizations with a deep commitment to fostering balance, resilience, and community.

Hi, I’m Dr. Lauren Foster

With over 14 years of experience in mental health, Dr. Lauren Foster, founder of Fostering Wellness, is dedicated to enhancing mental health practices for communities, organizations, and individuals, with a focus on supporting those who serve others. With expertise in Marriage and Family Therapy, Dr. Foster understands the complexities of building meaningful connections and overcoming the challenges that impact mental well-being, especially within underserved communities. Her commitment to resilience, poverty awareness, and community interconnectedness shapes every facet of her work.

Passionate about inclusive, community-centered mental health approaches, Dr. Foster leads Fostering Wellness in equipping organizations with accessible, effective mental health and wellness tools. Her vision is to foster spaces that meet diverse needs and create lasting, positive change for individuals, teams, and communities alike.

Why I’m Here

I understand the challenges marginalized communities face in accessing mental health and general wellness resources. I created Fostering Wellness to empower helping professionals to lead balanced lives where they can remain their whole selves and still support others. I also strive to support organizations in building resilient, mentally healthy workplaces.

Our Commitment

We understand that wellness is shaped by more than mindset. It’s influenced by culture, workload, economic pressure, and systems that aren't always designed to support those who care for others.

We are committed to experiential, community-centered methods that are:

  • Inclusive of diverse needs and identities.

  • Accessible and actionable, not aspirational.

  • Intersectional, recognizing how wellness is impacted by systems of race, class, gender, and labor.

Partner with us to create a thriving culture that prioritizes mental health and wellness.

Join Us in Fostering Wellness!

Whether through a retreat in nature, a workplace training, or a quiet workshop that helps you reconnect with yourself; we meet you where you are. We’re here to walk with you toward what’s possible.
