Why work with Dr. Lauren for your pelvic health?

Because I will:

Treat the whole person—your pelvic floor, the rest of your body, and the lifestyle factors that cause issues

Work with you in a welcoming, calm, and private treatment space

Treat you with compassion, curiosity, humor, and joy; these are necessary for the deepest healing of pelvic issues

I will NOT:

Treat only the symptom area rather than the root cause, giving you short-term relief

Work with you in a sterile clinic or open gym that can feel impersonal or tense

Do P.T. on your body while overlooking your sense of safety or the human connection that creates a positive healthcare experience

My Approach Combines:

  • Hands-on release of muscles, fascia, viscera, and joints

  • Reeducation of healthy posture and movement patterns

  • Coordination of breath, diaphragm, pelvic floor, and core

  • Exercises to correct muscle imbalances 
  • Respect for your inner wisdom and capacity
