Lauren graduated from UBC in 2014 with a Master of Physical Therapy degree, and from UVic in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts double major degree in Psychology and Sociology (Quantitative Research emphasis). She has been a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association since 2012, and is registered on the College of Physical Therapists of BC’s dry needling roster.

Lauren’s first direction in her career was in the field of mental health research, which allowed her to develop a keen appreciation for using research findings to guide clinical practice, a skill she has transferred into her own practice as a Physiotherapist.

Lauren has experience working with a variety of patients in both hospital and private clinic settings, but finds her passion in assessment and treatment of orthopedics. In clinic, Lauren’s approach to treatment utilizes hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, various modalities, and most importantly, enabling her patients to maintain and progress their gains using home-based exercise and self-care techniques.

When not at the clinic Lauren spends her time wrangling her toddler, experimenting with new cooking projects and playing outside. As a youth she played competitive softball in the position of pitcher. Now she approaches sport and recreation as a weekend warrior, with experiences in volleyball, swimming, hiking, surfing, snowshoeing, and of course, more softball.
