About Us
The Living Well Now Foundation Launched in 2014
The LWN Foundation exists to expand humans’ awareness of the importance of our daily body-mind-spirit decisions.
We provide impactful holistic education experiences that will inspire people to say YES to personal transformations. As we each choose unique healing habits, not only are we able to experience greater peace & wellness, but our relationships & the world will receive powerful benefits as well.
Deborah Lahman is our LWN Foundation ANGEL
And our Founder
8/27/53 - 11/27/22
She lived her 69 years with a daily passion for family, deep listening, counseling, parenting education, generational healing, and radical transformations. She and her husband John, authored the book “EMBRACING AMAZING”, to provide guidance for curious parents looking for strategies for their parenting journeys.
She and John purchased a home in Carlsbad, California. They had a vision of hosting workshops, and retreats in the vacation home. They loved hosting workshops & retreats in their home. And they visioned the property being a forever place for wellness expansion.
Deborah’s generous & grateful energy is infused throughout the LWN Foundation.
Why we're here:
▶️ So many of us have been asked to give up our dreams in order to put food on the table.
▶️ So many of us have not received sufficient empowering guidance to discover our unique gifts & talents.
▶️ So many of us are riding the rollercoaster of life without helpful tools that can support our ability to enjoy & thrive in our daily lives.
▶️ So many of us are desiring a supportive community where our unique voices & stories are not just welcomed & heard, but also valued & honored.
We are envisioning a world where...
Wellness modalities are accessible to all humans.
Massages are for everyone.
Quality counseling sessions are for everyone.
Healthy food is for everyone.
Adequate time for self-care is for everyone.
Living dreams is for everyone.
Transformative healing retreats are for everyone.
Safe, supportive, and empowering friendships are for everyone.
How do we do this?
- Retreats
- Holistic Education
- Coaching
- Wellness Scholarships
“I was in need of a re-set and this retreat provided that. It was a great balance of independent work time, play/fun and an opportunity to meet new people and have amazing, deep discussions. I felt spoiled and truly cared for with every little detail; it’s apparent a lot of heart and soul were poured into preparing for our time together. I WILL be back again.”
