About Lauren
Lauren began her career in public health dietetics, developing a passion for supporting prenatal and postpartum women and their families. Seeking a more direct impact, she transitioned to clinical nutrition as a kidney dietitian, offering personalized support to dialysis patients. After experiencing health complications during her first pregnancy, she was inspired to focus on women’s health before and after pregnancy. This shift has led her to concentrate on preventive care, empowering women throughout their pregnancy journey and guiding individuals to enhance their health through nutrition.

Lauren's approach to care involves providing individualized nutrition support tailored to each person's unique needs. She uses a non-diet approach, emphasizing long-term lifestyle changes to improve overall health. Instead of focusing solely on weight loss, she prioritizes health improvements, helping clients develop sustainable habits that enhance their well-being and prevent health complications.
