CHIROPRACTOR

Meet Dr. Lauren

I first came to the eastern shore when I was 10. I grew up on a horse farm in Mardela, went to Mardela High school, and graduated from Salisbury University with a bachelors in Biology. I met my husband and moved to Germany to be with him for 2 years. He was stationed there and got out after serving 8 years. That’s when we decided to move across the country to Northern California where he was from. The seed of being a chiropractor was planted a few years earlier and after visiting the college campus I knew this was the path for me.

I graduated summa cum laude from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California in 2018. During chiropractic college I was a lead facilitator in a world wide adjusting club call Kiaros Training Culture. I also had the prevelage of serving on mission trips to Mexico and India. After graduation I practiced at The Source Chiropractic, which was voted Oakland, CA’s best chiropractic office 4 years running. I worked side by side with some of the best chiropractors in the profession and have trained under chiropractic masters. My husband and I moved to Charlottesville, VA in 2021 and I opened my first chiropractic office. I was voted Charlottesville’s finest chiropractor 3 years in a row and after 5 years of living there, and two baby boys later, my heart was pulling me back to the eastern shore. We craved a village and for our children to grow up closer to their grandparents and extended family.

While in chiropractic school, I fell in love with the empowering philosophy of chiropractic. This was the first time I had encountered the belief system of natural healing and the innate intelligence that the body holds within that constantly adapts, self-regulates, and heals. I dove deep into the world of healthy natural living and believe that everything we do has an impact on us physically, mentally, and emotionally. There is certainly a time and a place for medicine and surgery, but how we live and our daily habits is how we build health and vitality so we can express life fully. Chiropractic is an amazing gentle and natural approach to support the expression of health by releasing tension around the spinal cord and nerve roots that interferes with the natural flow of energy. This restores proper signaling and communication allowing the innate intelligence to create healing, growth, and restoration within.

Harmonize Chiropractic is a family centered practice that has experience working with acute injuries, chronic pain, wellness care, athletes, neurologic conditions, headaches, vertigo and more. I have additional training in pregnancy and pediatrics. Being a mom of two, I can empathize with wherever you’re at in your pregnancy journey. Being pregnant and growing a family is such a sacred and special time and it brings its own unique challenges for baby and mother. There is so much change and I love to help mothers and babies adapt to this sometimes stressful season.

Whatever is bringing you into my office, I’m honored to help you along your path of healing. I love what I get to do and I bring that heart centered approach to the people I serve.
