Here's the problem...
They hop from doctor to doctor, hoping for a solution to their acne.
Here’s how most health conscious women go about clearing their skin:
But the only option they’re given is hormonal birth control, accutane and other medications.
Something in their gut tells them these solutions will hurt their long term health.
They decide to take matters into their own hands- they read everything they can find on Google about balancing hormones and gut health, and drop thousands of dollars on skin clearing supplements.
They go round and round, trying new elimination diets and protocols that seem to make things better at first...but their acne always seems to flare again or get worse.
Eventually, these women give up. I don’t blame them!
Feeling like you’re not in control of your own health sucks. And knowing that you are doing all the right things, yet still breaking out can be soul-crushing….
But it DOES NOT have to be this way!
my clear skin journey
For years, I struggled with acne and hormone imbalances. I used birth control and antibiotics to hide the symptoms, but I didn’t know they were hurting my body.
Then the side effects hit—stomach problems, exhaustion, and mood swings. When I stopped taking them, my acne came back worse, my periods disappeared for three years, and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s.
I felt lost and out of options.
…which leads us into part three: as you’ll see, the clear skin didn’t always last, and it never felt sustainable.
The picture on the left shows what happened when I hadn’t addressed the deeper root causes. Even with strict diets and perfect routines, my skin would still flare up. My body was stuck in fight-or-flight mode and holding onto stress and emotions I’d never processed. Without tools like nervous system regulation, emotional release, and lymphatic support, my body couldn’t heal on its own.
When I shifted my focus to these deeper layers, everything changed. My skin cleared, the puffiness disappeared, my hormones balanced, my periods became regular, and I could eat all my favorite foods again without experiencing breakouts. Now, my body feels strong and predictable. I don’t fear breakouts because I trust my body, and healing feels effortless.
I was determined to heal naturally, so I spent years trying strict diets, supplements, protocols, and advice from anyone I could find. Then I discovered functional lab testing, which revealed the imbalances in my body. This helped me follow a more targeted path, and my skin started to clear. My energy improved, and I finally felt like I was making progress.
If you look at the picture next to this, you’ll see what used to be my “after” picture—completely clear skin. On the outside, it seemed like I had found the solution. But on the inside, I was still stressed and afraid, holding everything together perfectly so it wouldn’t fall apart.
I was walking on eggshells, eating a restrictive diet, obsessing over every detail and living in fear that my skin would flare up again. Even though my skin was clear, my body didn’t feel at ease...
I went through each of these phases, thinking I’d found the answer, only to realize there was more work to do. It took time to uncover all the pieces…
That’s why I created Vibrant Skin Accelerator. I’ve done the hard work of piecing it all together so you don’t have to. This program gives you everything you need to heal—not just your skin, but your relationship with your body—for good.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck and overwhelmed, I see you. I’ve been there, and I’m here to help you break free and finally heal.
Hi, I’m Lauren, founder of Vibrant Skin Accelerator. I help women clear their acne and feel safe, confident, and at ease in their bodies—not just for a little while, but for good.
But it wasn’t always this way for me. My journey wasn’t a straight line from a face full of acne to clear skin overnight. Here's what really happened...

How We Applied the VSA Method for My Client, Kelsie
Knowing what goes into my body is helping it and not hurting it is a sense of relief I cannot describe, and it makes me physically and mentally feel better on a daily basis. I don't feel like I am dragging myself around, my motivation is back and my energy levels are finally where I want them. I never feel bloated anymore or struggle to digest anything. Mostly, I don't hate what I see when I look in the mirror. My skin has cleared up so much. Is it completely perfect? No and part of this program taught me that literally no skin is but mine is as close as can be. I still get pimples but I now know what the cause is, how to help it heal faster and believe me they do! I would highly recommend this program to anyone who feels they are in the shoes I once was, don’t waste your time and money on products that claim to “fix” things overnight. Spend it on this program, learn about your body, your root needs and what makes your specific body thrive and be the best version of itself it can be. I promise it's worth it!"

Client Interview: how Kelsie cleared her skin in 4 months
Listen in on this interview I did with my client Kelsie, and get the scoop on what it was like for her to go through Vibrant Skin Accelerator. Spoiler: she is now able to eat hot fudge brownie sundaes when she wants without having any issues with her skin!
"Before joining this program, I was struggling with really bad breakouts both hormonal and not. I was also struggling with gut issues, energy levels and self confidence. With all that tied together I felt so down about myself for both my appearance and lack of motivation/drive for doing anything. It was hard to get out of my head and be happy with what I saw in the mirror, not only physical appearance but with the way I was mentally shutting down. With how unhappy I was becoming it was taking a toll on every aspect of my life and I decided to do something about it. I wanted to live a natural life but that seemed out of reach to live naturally without all these problems I was seeing. Coming off hormonal birth control was just adding to my issues, my body didn't know how to regulate itself and I needed help. Thankfully, I found VSA and after my first talk with Lauren thought it sounded like a perfect fit for me and the changes I wanted to make in my life. This program has taught me so much that I cannot begin to tell you about it all, to say it was worth the money is an understatement! Before this I had tried just about everything else and had done nothing but waste time and money on failed attempts at clearing my skin. This program taught me how to go to the basics in life and start there, a sort of deep clean on yourself ( without all the toxins(; ) My biggest wins from this were: learning how many toxic things I was doing on a daily basis from warming up food in the microwave to wiping down my counters, give my body time and be patient with it, and to understand the complexity of everything I do and the way it impacts my mind and body. At first all the changes this program talked about seemed to be a lot and I was nervous to invest in it all, switching all my laundry and cleaning products, new skincare products, pasture raised based food. At first it all seemed overwhelming but doing it in chunks really helped the wallet and most importantly to see how each change truly did help me. After this program, I feel so different!

VSA Client Testimonials
"Taking part in the VSA program is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I cannot emphasize enough how truly life changing it has been for me. Before I started, I was struggling with acne on my chin, severe digestive problems, energy crashes/headaches, constant fatigue, and I wasn’t having a period all while I thought I was being healthy. Now, my acne is gone, my digestion is a million times better, my energy is higher and consistent throughout the day, and I have a regular period. On top of that, we addressed my mindset, which I didn’t even know was necessarily a problem or related to my struggles at all. However, the shift in my mindset, how I think, and how I view myself has been HUGE. I went from hating myself and thinking nothing but negative thoughts about myself to gaining a newfound confidence and finally understanding what it means to show myself unconditional love. Because of these physical, mental, and emotional changes I’ve experienced, I feel so much better and as if I’m a completely different person in the best way possible. Thanks to VSA, I’ve figured out what is actually healthy for my body, instead of just guessing and trying random things based on what worked for other people. I originally started this program simply to get holistic help in healing my acne, but I got SO much more. There will never be enough words to portray how thankful I am for Lauren and VSA!"
- Sidney
"Before VSA I had gone through other acne coaching programs, I had taken dozens of supplements and tried so many skin care products and nothing was working. I was really just over it. Thousands of dollars down the drain. So investing in this program was both easy and difficult. Easy because I was really motivated to have clear skin and difficult because it was another investment that may not work. Luckily, it was worth every penny.
Having blood-work analyzed was a big reason why I chose VSA, I felt confident that Lauren would help me find the root cause of my acne. She didn’t disappoint.
I just want to scream in every Acne facebook group - VSA IS YOUR ANSWER. I thought I knew a lot about acne after 15 years of having it, but I was shocked at what I learned from Lauren, especially about what was going on with me personally. I feel like I now have the tools I need to continue healing and maintaining clear skin and I’m glad to know I can revisit the videos and documents any time I need a refresh. I will definitely be missing our weekly group calls — it’s really nice to have a community that understands what you are going through! I’m glad this program wasn’t just focused on the surface level acne, but also the underlying issues, both physical & emotional. This isn’t just any old acne program, this is THE acne program to be in. Thank you Lauren!
- Caitlin
"Before finding Lauren and starting the VSA program I had tried so many things for my acne - facials, expensive retinols, different diets, cleanses and countless supplements..but none of it really helped. I'm not even done with her program yet and my skin has already dramatically cleared up. I've also learned so much and improved my diet! The habits and knowledge I've learned in VSA will stick with me for life. Lauren is super knowledgable and I can tell that she genuinely cares about her clients health and skin. "
- Amy
"I highly recommend VSA to anyone wanting to dive deep into overall health + getting to the root cause of acne!! This program has impacted more areas of my life than just acne. Lauren is super helpful + works really hard to personalize the experience for each client to give them exactly what they need."

VSA Client Testimonials
"After completing the VSA program while working alongside Lauren I am leaving with a hoard of valuable knowledge on how to prevent and treat the root cause of my acne. This program has not only helped to decrease my skin inflammation but transformed how I approach clearing my acne. I have shifted from wanting to clear my skin for physical appearance reasons to learning to love myself at every step of the journey with or without acne. This is huge for me because my mindset is something that has always held me back. Especially when clearing acne you want a stress free mental environment and that is something I was able to achieve while completing the VSA program. I am grateful for Lauren and my group's guidance each week I will remember the advice, protocols and support I received here long after it is over!"
- Ryann
"I initially found Lauren as I was scrolling through Instagram, had stopped on one of her videos and thought to myself "wow, each symptom/characteristic she is describing pertains exactly to my history/feelings toward my acne journey." I had been started on spironolactone my senior year of college as my skin flared with hormonal acne that no topical product would touch. Fast forward a year and half later and I was still on the same medication but wanting to come off. When I signed up for VSA, Lauren was so positive and encouraging about my goal to come off of spironolactone therapy. She tailored my protocols directly to me and my goals, making sure each new protocol was adjusted when my body and mind were ready. Not only did she help me transition off a medication but she worked closely with me as I attempted to navigate the protocols while starting a new job on nightshift. Throughout this program I saw a major mindshift change from where I was craving sugar and had somewhat stable habits to motivating myself to have a positive daily routine and a better relationship with food. This program gave me the tools to improve my overall health (gut, mind, body, skin). With each coaching call, you can see that Lauren is truly invested in you and your results.
- Jocelyn
"The program opened my eyes to an entirely new approach to life. No matter the severity of your symptoms, this program will bring change to anyone's life for the better. I learned how powerful my mind is and how willingness to change can bring you so far. I totally came in looking for a clear solution, but instead I learned how to create my own solution, which is even better. Sure, my gut needed help, but my head and my heart are where the majority of my problems and my healing came from. Overall, I am incredibly grateful that Lauren pushed me to become the best version of myself!"
- Katie
"Before doing the Vibrant Skin Accelerator program, I experienced deep, cystic acne, small red bumps, redness, zits, and dry, but oily, skin on my face and neck on and off for 15 years. I also had yearly additional skin issues that ranged from eczema, staph infection, pityriasis rosea, perioral dermatitis and many others. I visited multiple dermatologists and medical doctors who would "take a look," and offer me a prescription and a follow up appointment. I was on birth control for years, did a round of accutane, was constantly on oral and/or topical antibiotics and steroids. I never had a doctor ask me about the foods I ate, my mental health, or my daily habits. Lauren asked me all of these questions before I even signed up for her program. Her questions were tailored to ME and my daily habits. She created a customized protocol with recommendations on how to gradually improve my lifestyle to begin to heal my body and my face. She also accounted for the life stage I am in as a nursing mother, with careful attention to recommendations that would not harm my baby. Lauren cared about getting my skin healthy, but cared even more about getting ME healthy - something I wasn't even aware that I needed before the program.
Leaving the 16 weeks, I still have acne, but have laid an enormous amount of groundwork and can already tell a great difference in many of the other factors that play a role in acne. She also didn't let me just leave the program without a new protocol and the intention to continue healing me until I do see the results I am hoping for. The Vibrant Skin Accelerator taught me more about acne, the way my body works, the way food is made than any other class, program, or doctor has ever taught me. I'm so thankful I found it, and I would recommend it to anyone who has the desire to heal!

YES! I always recommend at least a 3 month period of prepping your body to come off any acne medication (including hormonal birth control) so that the transition is as seamless as possible. If you are planning to come off, with the help of your doctor, VSA will be great for that "prep" process, as well as supporting your body against any of the side effects while you continue to take the medication. This video goes a little more in depth on this:
will VSA work for me if I'm on hormonal birth control?
Short answer: NO. Food sensitivities are a result of a deeper root cause in the body, and our goal throughout VSA is to eliminate those root causes so that you can tolerate more foods as we progress in your healing protocol. Some eliminations may be necessary at first to reduce inflammation, but our goal is always to get them back in if we can. I answer this question a little deeper in this short video:
am I going to have to eat a super restrictive diet?
While we do and have worked with clients amongst many different lifestyles (night shift workers, busy moms, full-time students, etc.) to create a healing protocol that is attainable for their current situation, healing your body holistically takes your willingness to make changes and dedicate time to taking care of yourself daily. If you aren't doing this now, no worries! We can set you up with the support and accountability you need to making these changes during the program, as long as you are willing and open to taking the action steps that are recommended.
I'm super busy. Is VSA something I'll be able to do if I don't have a lot of time?
I wish I could! Unfortunately, due to the nature of the body's healing process and the fact that every single person has a unique health history and current circumstances, I can't predict how your timeline will unfold. VSA is held over a 6-month period because I have seen it be a great amount of time for my clients to see results (including the ones you see on this page). When you sign up to work with me, I am 100% committed to helping you get results, so if you match me with your commitment level, it is sooo possible for those results to be yours as well.
Can you guarantee specific results within the 6-month period?
That's just it- most likely the other things you've tried have been based on, well...luck & guesswork & what has worked for other people online. VSA is different in that it is based on science and data from YOUR lab results. We don't make any recommendations that are not backed up by what your labs and health history is telling us. When you take action on 20 things that MIGHT work for your skin, you take one step in 20 different directions, leaving you scattered and having little results to show for your effort. But when you take action on ONE thing based on YOUR lab results, you take 20 steps in one direction. Imagine how far you could get if you knew the direction you needed to head in before you started on your journey...
I've tried so many things for my acne with no luck. What's different about this program?
Your healing protocol inside VSA is comprised of dietary, supplement, lifestyle and skincare recommendations. Each of these things vary on your lab testing and health history.
What kind of recommendations are involved?
No! I do not use Facebook at all for Vibrant Skin Accelerator. You get access to a personalized client dashboard with it's own web page and app, so that everything you need throughout the program is all organized in one place.
Do I have to have Facebook to participate in VSA?
I keep in mind different time zones and those who work full time when scheduling the weekly group calls, so they are always in the afternoon. Once we are getting closer to our start date, I poll the group to see what times/ days work for most people. However, if you do have to miss a call every now and then (because life happens) all the group calls are recorded and posted in your client dashboard. You also have the ability to get your questions answered by Lauren and team in our group forum between calls.
I work full-time. What time are the weekly group Q&A calls?
Unfortunately, no. Because I run such a comprehensive panel, it's difficult to get insurance to cover all the markers. They need a reason to run every single one and if you don't have a "medical reason" to run the test it won't get approved. We are able to skip the difficulties with this by offering my comprehensive panel at a great price, which is included in the cost of the program.
Can the labs be covered by insurance?
The GI MAP is the gold standard of stool tests on the market, and I love using it as needed. However, after running it for every single client for an entire year, I realized that it wasn't giving me all the information I needed right off the bat- it shows infection and inflammation in the gut, but it misses systemic infection and inflammation in other areas of the body, like the liver, which is a hot spot for infection when it comes to acne. When I do my comprehensive bloodwork panel, I am able to see all of these areas at once, and decipher what other testing we need to do, if any at all. The GI MAP is available as an optional add-on if needed.
Why is the GI MAP not included and run for every client?
Hormone imbalances are not a root cause of acne. So your acne may be hormonal, but the question is WHY are your hormones imbalanced in the first place? This is where we must start- usually the root cause of hormone imbalance is the same root cause of acne. When you address the root of the problem, hormones balance on their own and acne goes away. However, I do offer hormone panels as an optional add-on for later in the program, once we clear out the initial junk and can get a clear look at where optimization needs to occur.
I've been told my acne is hormonal. Is hormone testing something I should do?
Yes! We go over the different options with you on your discovery call.
Do you offer payment plans?
The only additional costs are recommended skincare products and supplements, and I offer a discount on all supplements to my current and graduated clients of VSA.
Are there any additional costs outside of the program cost?
