Testimonials
I have known Lauren for many years, and she has always been a source of support and inspiration to me. I admire the way she can articulate her thoughts so easily. I think of her as a perennial student, going outside of her comfort zone, challenging herself, striving for the knowledge of life. Recently I began having major issues with my teenage son. Lauren was there for me. She is a great listener, and she remembers everything you tell her. So when I was feeling overwhelmed and confused she could center me with concrete solutions to my problem at hand. I often wish I could keep her in my back pocket and pull her out at difficult moments. She just always seems to have the right answers or the right questions to help me on my journey towards healing. Lauren lives in the moment…and her guiding words of wisdom come from a loving place…you can feel it.

I have known Lauren Groveman for many years through her cookbooks and her website. She has always shown me complete encouragement when replying to questions that I‘ve asked when it comes to one of her recipes. Always in a professional manner, she would always find time to respond in a kind and professional way.
I noticed she now offers Life Coaching services. Not knowing what that was, I contacted Lauren for more information. She explained the process of Life Coaching and, after listening, I decided that I could benefit with some coaching myself in areas of my life that I want to improve. After 3 sessions with Lauren she has motivated me to look both inside and outside of myself and has helped me to focus on my power to make better choices and on setting goals. Lauren has helped me to recognize that the buck stops with me in responsibility on several issues, and she also has given me a redirection with my thought process, including how to apply that in my everyday life. But mostly she listens and, again, she responds in an encouraging and professional way. You can tell that Lauren loves what she does and it shows. She is very genuine. Her spirit matches her actions as a Life Coach. She really cares and wants to be there for you! Having Lauren Groveman as a Life Coach I believe would be a great investment if you want to improve yourself.

Dear Lauren,
I am a 29-year-old woman living in Manhattan with my fiancé. I am currently working as an administrator for a hedge fund although my true passions are cooking, decorating, writing, planning menus and all other things domestic. It is so nice to hear you discuss the importance of a good home and shared meals, I feel like they aren’t honored enough. Your words and advice made me feel proud of my feelings and gave me faith. You’ve inspired me to stick to my guns and remain grounded and I wanted to thank you for that.

Dear Lauren,
I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I think of you so often. You have had such a positive impact on my life and my family’s.

Everyone in my life hears about you and the impact that you’ve had.

Dear Lauren,
You did such a fantastic job last night. You are truly a master teacher. Everybody learned so much, enjoyed the evening so much and bonded with each other — and with you! I can’t thank you enough. All in all, a delicious experience!

Lauren’s Videos:
Dear Lauren,
I have been your fan ever since I saw you on Baking With Julia and I make your challah every week for my husband. I cherish your recipes in the Baking with Julia cookbook and everything I have ever tried from you was a huge success. As a wife, home cook and food professional I just wanted you to know that you are truly one of my mentors. Your passion for your family and life really resonates with me (and really comes across on camera!). Food and cooking means nothing if you don’t do it for love and for those you love. So thank you for the inspiration and I wish you much blessings and continued success. I am from the Caribbean by the way….Trinidad to be exact! So I just want you to know that you affect people not only in your country but all over the world as well. I am now going to purchase your books and the dvds too!! So thanks again….and I really have to try your perfect roast chicken recipe.
Regards,
—Tracey N., Trinidad
I am 32 years old and I cook daily. I saw you making bagels with Julia Child on ‘Baking with Julia’ and as soon as the episode was over I ran to my computer to find out more about who you were. I just got done watching a number of your videos and I would rather watch you cook at home with your dogs then any of the 100s of shows I’ve seen over the past 15 years—those that have been (to varying extents) in ‘vogue’.
I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for your hard work, it isn’t easy to shock a jaded cooking show peruser like myself but you did and I’m hooked on your personality, knowledge and most of all charm. Thank you for what you do and I hope you keep doing it.
Your fan,
Eric
