Goal coach and feng shui expert Lauren Bragg has been named president of the National Association of Women Business Owners, Santa Barbara chapter (NAWBO-SB).

An entrepreneur with more than a decade of experience running her own business, Bragg is a certified goal and health coach. She’s helped thousands of women achieve their dreams through the art of goal setting, and is creator of a Goal Setting Crash Course and the Accountability Academy.

In addition to her private coaching practice, Bragg co-founded The Feng Shui Collective with her mother, Pamela, with whom she works to transform people’s physical spaces to support their goals. She believes that a person’s physical space not only reflects who they are, but also either helps or hinders their ability to succeed and get things done.

Bragg is a cheerleader for other women business owners and enjoys creating space for female entrepreneurs to network and grow their expertise. She co-leads several women’s retreats including The Elevate Retreat in Carpinteria (the next one is scheduled for April, 2023).

“I am a proud member of NAWBO and honored to serve as president of NAWBO Santa Barbara,” Bragg said.
