Lauren also became a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist in 2024. Lauren holds a special interest in treating patients through pregnancy and post-partum care, as well as treating patients with headaches or after motor vehicle accidents. In appointments, it is important for Lauren to educate the patient regarding his or her condition must be combined with manual techniques and other therapeutic interventions. In her spare time, you can find Lauren baking, reading, hiking, biking, spending time with her husband and two sons, or cheering on Seattle sports teams. Lauren also volunteers for fun runs raising money for causes, such as Head for the Cure or Jamieson Jones Foundation. To schedule with Lauren in Bothell, call 425-686-7485.
