Lauren Morley, PT
Physio. Mama. Aspiring endurance athlete
Teacher
Lauren is a passionate pelvic health and visceral physiotherapist who seeks to support women's health through all aspects of their lives.
Her fascination with the human body's incredible capacity for growth, adaptation and performance was further fuelled by her own pregnancy and birth experience. She has taken extensive courses to further her understanding of maternal and fetal mechanics of pregnancy and delivery and strives to integrate balance, alignment and functional exercise with all of her expectant clients. Her goal is to support mamas throughout the uniquely physically and emotionally challenging process of pregnancy, birth, and recovery.
In her free time, she enjoys music, learning, and running (always!) after her adventurous toddler.
Lauren will be teaching our fall session in Kanata.
