My Story

Hi,

 

My name is Lauren and this is my story on how I came to be the owner of the number one health food cafe in Portals Nous.

 

I am Scottish born but grew up in Palma de Mallorca. After leaving school at aged 16 to pursue a professional golfing career, I continued to study to become a personal trainer (my mum wouldn't let me give the books up just yet!!) . Alongside my golfing,  when I was around the age of 20 I began offering personal trainings mostly helping women of all fitness levels, shapes and ages to reach their goals. This could vary between wanting to loose weight to wanting to gain muscle. Witnessing their transformations and their newfound enthusiasm towards living a healthy lifestyle continued to fuel my drive to make a difference. It was incredibly fulfilling to be a source of support for others and to help people find genuine enjoyment for working out.

 

This gave me the drive to launch my own fitness-focused YouTube channel to share my passion on a broader scale so that people could do at home workouts with no equipment needed. With that came my @justamylauren Instagram account. Little did I know that these platforms would become a way for me to connect, motivate, and inspire people not just in Mallorca, but worldwide. My followers began to comment on how much they liked my workouts and even began to ask for advice on fitness and nutrition.

​

Then came my journey with Cocos Deli. My favourite healthy cafe in Portals Nous where I'd plan training sessions, meet friends and nourish my body with my daily greens while chatting with the owner Chloe. One day, Chloe mentioned her plans to change her career path and sell Cocos. Her words sparked something within me — “you make people feel good through exercise, why not make them feel good through food as well?”.

 

And that's where the next chapter began. I embraced the opportunity and took over Cocos Deli. Fast forward nearly three years, and here I am. Cocos Deli has transformed — a new look, a revamped menu, a growing clientele and even my own blend of Matcha. The journey wasn't without its challenges. Doubts crept in, and fears loomed, but my passion for fitness and nutrition propelled me forward. I have attracted a following of nearly 40K on Instagram on my @justamylauren account, and most importantly, I'm living a life that resonates with my values. My number one piece of advice would be to do what makes you happy, not what other people expect you to do. Life has a funny way of falling into place when you do. Here's to chasing dreams no matter how big they seem, inspiring others and always looking forward to the journey ahead.

See you soon at Cocos,
