Her previous work as a Registered Kinesiologist has provided her with years of experience in exercise prescription that she incorporates regularly with her clients. Her volunteer work with Parkinson’s Canada designing and delivering a weekly exercise program has given her a unique lens into treating those living with the disease.

In her free time, Lauren continues to practice ballet, is active in Pilates and strength training and has recently taken up bouldering at her local rock climbing gym.
