Fitness Rebel, Vegan Mentor, Defender of the Cube, Actor, and Dramaturg.
Welcome to my digital home. I’ve always struggled with how to categorize, organize, and parcel out who I am on a website. What should I include, what should I not include, is that too much, is that not enough?
Finally, I got real and honest with myself. No one fits in a box. I am many things and so are you. Here is a bit of me. I truly hope you find my story inspiring. Once again welcome.
If you are reading this, you’re probably wondering who I am! I’m Lorien Mahay. A Midwestern-born, Southern-bred, theatre-loving, tofu-worshipping, adrenaline junky with a passion for couponing, meal planning, and mentoring others on their journey to become the healthiest, happiest version of themselves.
But I’m not on this mission alone! Along for the ride is my amazing husband, my son (Squid), and my two adorable adopted kitties, Poseidon and Athena.
I’m a dedicated fitness rebel who uses both my veganism and Beachbody to help people reach their health goals. I’ve was vegetarian for over five years and I’ve been vegan for over a decade. I live for this stuff.
I have my Masters of Fine Art in Dramaturgy from Stony Brook University. I have worked as the program director for a multimillion dollar non-profit serving the arts. I have fundraised as the Associate Director of Development for an equity theatre company. I have acted in numerous plays throughout my career as well as kept the glue together as a stage manager. I have also worked as a dramaturg in productions, literary management, and new play development.
Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in new play development or dramaturgy.

Back in 2013, roughly two months before my baby boy turned 1, I finished my first half marathon. I can’t really say “ran” as I injured myself and had to walk/run it, and I suffered with injuries for about a year afterwards. I have always wanted to do it again and see if I could …
