Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a Physician Assistant specialized in integrative medicine and women’s health.
Although I was trained in the Western model of disease > treatment, I became interested to push my training and knowledge beyond this simple paradigm. I have been in practice for 8 years and have treated a wide variety of chronic health conditions. I have experience in topics including holistic nutrition, lifestyle medicine, functional medicine, mind- body medicine, and herbalism; all of which I incorporate into a holistic - mind, body, spirit, root cause approach to my care. After healing myself of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, chronic IBS and hormonal imbalances, I became incredibly passionate to share this information with other women.
I’ve witnessed countless times how transformational it can be when we find our voice, our power, and our vitality by healing & nourishing our physical bodies.
After having my first child in 2022, I experienced a complete shift in my mind and body. I found that again, I had to rely on my own studies to support my health, nutrition, and hormones throughout the pregnancy and postpartum journey. Since then, I have been on a quest to help other women find their way through hormonal imbalance, fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum with ease and clarity. Unfortunately, women’s health issues are too often normalized and downplayed by providers. If you’re frustrated by the age-old “you’re fine!" or “your labs look normal”, trust me when I say you are not alone. I will serve as your guide and mentor to provide you with the tools you need to fully nourish, find balance, and restore vitality. I truly believe the body has an innate ability to heal (and thrive!) when it has the right tools to do so. I firmly believe we need to mother the mother - and that when we do so, our entire family system and our communities at large can be healthier and happier.
I’m honored to walk this journey with you.
