Sensory Rituals for Overwhelmed Nervous Systems

Hand poured candles designed to support grounding, calm, emotional regulation, and intentional rest.

At With Dr. Lauren, candles are more than fragrance.

They are sensory anchors designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and create moments of calm in an overstimulating world.

Created through the lens of ADHD, nervous system healing, and intentional ritual, each candle is crafted to transform everyday moments into grounding experiences.

3 Brand Pillars

REGULATE

Create sensory cues that help your body transition out of overwhelm.

ANCHOR

Use scent and ritual to reconnect with yourself and your environment.

RESTORE

Transform ordinary routines into moments of softness, calm, and emotional reset.

Why This Brand Exists

This brand was born from my own healing journey, navigating ADHD, overstimulation, chronic stress, entrepreneurship, motherhood, and learning how to stop living in survival mode.

I realized my nervous system craved ritual: soft lighting, grounding scents, intentional pauses, and moments that helped me feel safe in my body again.

That became the heart of this brand.

BRAND STORY

You don’t need a reason to pause, just a flame and a moment.

The Regulation Ritual

A monthly sensory ritual designed to help overwhelmed nervous systems slow down, reconnect, and exhale.

Each thoughtfully curated box includes grounding sensory experiences intended to bring moments of calm, comfort, and intentional rest into your everyday routine.

“Working with Lauren was an absolute pleasure. She crafted a custom candle for Mama Bear Doula Care called Mama’s Moment, and it has quickly become a favorite among our clients and team. Lauren took the time to understand the exact feeling we wanted this candle to evoke—calm, grounding, and a sense of being cared for—and she captured it perfectly.
The scent profile is beautifully balanced, soothing without being overwhelming, and thoughtfully formulated to support rest and relaxation for new and expectant parents. The quality of the ingredients and the care put into every detail truly shine through.
Lauren’s professionalism, creativity, and ability to translate vision into something tangible make her a standout to collaborate with. We are so grateful for her partnership and highly recommend her work to anyone seeking intentional, high-quality, wellness-focused products.”
