As we say, “Women are not small men!”. Dr. Lauren specializes in working with a women’s physiology, not against it. Her most recent certification in Webster Technique allows Dr. Lauren to provide the gold standard in prenatal care.

In her spare time, Dr. Lauren trains for ultramarathon trail races and goes horseback riding any chance she gets!  She has served as assistant cross country coach at Marquette High School from 2006-2021 and is a member of RockR Racing Team and ON PACE Triathlon Training Club. She has served as Assistant Coach to the St. Louis Blazers Track Club and has served on the Girls on The Run race committee.

Dr. Lauren says the highlight of her personal life is watching their three kids develop into strong, intelligent and passionate individuals. She is known for being the loudest spectator at every cross country meet and track meet she goes to!
