Imogen Hale
Founder · Lead practitioner
Eleven years in trauma-informed and inner-child work. Imogen started the studio after years of watching people get pushed through systems that forgot they were human.
Our story
We built the studio we wished existed.
Lantern & Loam began with a simple frustration: wellbeing support that treats people like checklists. We wanted somewhere calm, unhurried, and genuinely whole - where the emotional, the practical, and the personal aren't kept in separate rooms.
Why we exist
A name about light and ground
A lantern is gentle, portable light - enough to see the next step, never blinding. Loam is rich, living ground: the thing roots hold onto. Together they're our whole philosophy. We help you find a little light and something solid to stand on, and we walk at your pace while you do.
No two people who come to us look the same. A new parent reparenting their own childhood. A traveller mapping an accessible route abroad. Someone quietly rebuilding their sense of self. The thread is always the same: real life, met with care.
What we hold to
Principles, not policies
01Pace belongs to you
We never rush a person through their own healing. Progress that's forced rarely lasts; progress that's chosen does.
02Evidence with warmth
We lean on trauma-informed, body-positive practice - but we deliver it as people, not protocols.
03Access is a baseline
Whether it's a building, a form, or a conversation, we work to remove the barrier rather than explain it away.
04The whole person, always
Feelings, logistics and identity aren't separate departments. We hold them together because your life does.
