ABOUT
Hi, my name is Lauren.
Welcome to SPOGA, a place for practice.
Lauren Kriston, M.S., CCC-SLP
As a speech-language pathologist with decades of teaching wellness, I believe in the profound power of language - both spoken and unspoken. Our thoughts shape our realities, and the words we choose, whether spoken aloud or held within, deeply influence the quality of our lives and the way we perceive the world.
My work spans athletes, families, teachers and children, supporting skills that are fundamental across the lifespan - such as focus, self-regulation, communication and resilience.
Because these practices target the body, mind, and breath together, they translate seamlessly across populations, helping individuals at every stage of life thrive both in daily life and performance.
