Lauren is passionate about helping people cut through the myths and misinformation about nutrition to make food a delicious, performance enhancing part of their lives. She believes that there is no one “right” way to eat, and is eager to discover ways to optimize nutrition for each individual client.

Jennifer’s strengths lay in her careful assessment of each client and their movement patterns. She watches posture, gait, and muscular issues. She utilizes sports modalities including blading, stretching, and strength training to heal muscle imbalances. She aids clients in rehabilitation and recovery to perform functional movements and to physically reach their highest potential. She has an athletic background as a gymnast, but now loves powerlifting and empowering other athletes with confidence.”

“Holistic health is my deepest passion, with specific love for nutrition and pre/post natal self care. I was a competitive dancer for 9 years and then fell in love with weight lifting when I was 18. That transformed into an obsession with a holistic health approach for my clients. My greatest desire is to help others achieve health and love in all aspects of life.”
