Meet Renee

Welcome to the Soulful Sanctuary, where movement meets mindfulness, and community is at the heart of personal transformation. I’m Renee McLaughlin, a passionate health and fitness professional with over 30 years of experience helping people reconnect to their bodies, minds, and spirits. My mission is to guide you to rediscover your authentic self through somatic movement, wisdom life coaching, and a variety of holistic practices that nourish all aspects of your being.

As we navigate an increasingly digital world, it’s clear that the yearning for human connection, personal growth, and soulful experiences is more vital than ever. I believe we are on the brink of a profound shift—one where the call for meaningful, in-person communities will drive us toward reclaiming what we’ve lost: joy, presence, and connection.

With a Master of Science degree in Natural Health and a rich array of certifications, I have spent my life studying the intricate relationship between movement, health, and emotional well-being. My approach integrates decades of research and hands-on experience to offer you a unique blend of wellness services, including:

Somatic Life Coaching – Guiding you through transformative journeys to uncover deep, subconscious beliefs and behaviors.

Conscious Dance Parties – Fun and liberating gatherings where we come together to express ourselves through movement, releasing emotional blockages, and reconnecting with our bodies.

Movement Classes – Including T-Tapp, Gentle Somatic Yoga, Original Barre, Somatic Flow, and Stretch and Sculpt, all of which integrate body, mind, and spirit for a balanced, joyful life.

Retreats & Women’s Workshops – Immersive experiences designed to foster community, healing, and growth

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients at all levels of fitness, helping them unlock their potential and live vibrant, fulfilling lives. I believe that life is movement and that movement is life—when you stop moving, you stagnate emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. The act of moving with intention is a powerful healer, and when joy is infused into that movement, the transformation you can experience is profound.

At the Soulful Sanctuary, I offer you the space, tools, and support to awaken the innate wisdom and energy within. Whether you’re looking to improve your physical health, reclaim your joy, or connect deeply with like-minded individuals, you’ve found the right place. Together, we’ll explore the endless possibilities of movement, healing, and self-discovery.
