Lauren began her career in geriatrics working in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. After 2 years, Lauren wanted some more adventure in her life and she began traveling PT where she gained experience working throughout the country in NJ, MA, CA, MD, and DC. As she traveled and learned more and more about herself and her career choice, she stumbled upon something new – pelvic floor PT. She became interested in this area in 2010 and decided make a big change from geriatrics into the world of pelvic floor.

Lauren found her true passion in pelvic health, treating women and men with complex pelvic issues for all ages. She has taken multiple levels of education in this area through Herman and Wallace. She furthered her education at Michigan State University School of Osteopathic Medicine learning muscle energy techniques for the spine and visceral mobilization through the Barral Institute and Herman and Wallace. She has since added to her repertoire with yoga, finishing her 200 hour teacher training, as well as starting training through the Professional Yoga Therapy Institute to become a Professional Yoga Therapist. She has found so much enjoyment in combining yoga with PT and is excited to continue to build on this. She believes in integrated medicine to combine all facets of her patients’ lives – physical, psycho-social emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and energetic. She feels truly grateful to have found a way to combine her 2 passions, yoga and pelvic PT, and to be able to share this with her patients.

Lauren also loves combining her love of children with pelvic health by helping our pediatric patients with both bowel and bladder issues.

In her spare time Lauren enjoys spending time with her husband and 3 step-children as well as practicing yoga and going for long walks outside.

Yvonne discovered her passion for ​pelvic health as a graduate student, catching a glimpse of the world of pelvic health while working with expert clinicians. She started her career in residency at the University of Chicago Medical Center working in an outpatient orthopedic environment learning in-depth manual therapy techniques as well as the application of current research through didactic course work. She then went on to work in an outpatient setting primarily focused on higher level athletic injuries, with an emphasis on female athletes and patients with all types of pelvic floor dysfunctions.

After a lot of experience working with many pregnant and postpartum patients she became increasingly interested in expanding her knowledge of the pregnancy process. This led her to complete her labor doula training and now enjoys helping friends and family through the birth planning. She ​is​ committed to expanding her education by taking advanced courses offered through the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy.

Yvonne enjoys working with pregnant and postpartum patients, helping those with pelvic pain conditions, and runners with pelvic floor dysfunction. She uses a combination of manual therapy, exercise, dynamic movements, and neuromuscular re-education.

In her spare time she enjoys playing with her chow chow puppy, running, and working out at the gym.
