Over the past several years her passion changed to specialize in posture alignment through the Egoscue Method.  She has found pain relief in her own journey as a previous competitive D1 Track and Field and National Level Weightlifting athlete through the Egoscue Method and continues to incorporate a menu into her daily regime.  

​

Lauren believes our bodies have the ability to heal themselves. She has had her fair share of sports injuries... knee, hip, and shoulder pain and knows what it is like to be told “your body isn’t designed to do something." Finding The Egoscue Method® of Exercise Therapy gave her the tools to get herself pain free and back to living an active and fulfilling life.... and now she wants to teach you to have the same!

Testimonial

"In 2005 I rotated my pelvis when I fell under a heavy clean competing at the American Open in Weightlifting. I tried everything to get out of pain. Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, Massage Therapy... you name it I tried it. It wasn't until I came in contact with the Egoscue Method. Even then the pain didn't go away right away...  but I did as instructed and gave it at least two weeks of consistently doing the exercises daily. I did a menu that took me an hour and a half every day (programs now are only prescribed 30 minutes or less). By week two the pain was gone right up to the point of doing the menu again the next day. I can't remember exactly when it was completely gone, but I did start competing in CrossFit not soon after. The combination of exercises with the consistency held the adaptation of my pelvis staying in a neutral position which healed itself, and has kept me out of pain to date."  -Lauren Sonnen
