ABOUT US

THE MODEL MENTOR®

 

Founded by international model and certified health & wellness coach Lauren Deckert, The Model Mentor® represents the culmination of almost three decades in the fashion industry paired with a lifelong commitment to guiding and elevating others — particularly women — toward their highest potential.

 

With extensive firsthand experience backstage, in showrooms, and on set, Deckert became known not only for her professionalism as a working model, but for her natural leadership. She is the presence models gravitate toward — offering insight, composure, strategic guidance, and a refined approach to both career development and personal wellbeing. What began organically evolved into a trusted methodology now recognized as The Model Mentor Method®.

 

At its core, The Model Mentor® is a private, elite development house specializing in agency placement and strategic model development. Talent identified with strong market potential enters a highly personalized consulting period, typically spanning three to six months, focused on positioning, development, and industry readiness. Through thoughtful guidance and curated introductions, models are aligned with agencies, bookers, and opportunities that support long-term success.

 

Distinct from traditional representation, The Model Mentor® operates with one singular objective: to guide, launch, and elevate. The focus is not on commissions, but on ensuring each model is prepared, visible, and impossible to overlook within an increasingly competitive landscape.

 

Beyond model development, Deckert works with women across all seasons of life through private coaching rooted in her philosophy:

 

Transformative Thinking • Movement • Mindfulness

 

More than a practice, The Model Mentor Method® is a standard — one that integrates career strategy with personal refinement, cultivating both presence and longevity.

 

For those prepared to elevate, a suite of bespoke, individualized services is available by consultation
