Move with purpose.

Changing the way of physical therapy through individualized plans and intentional classes.

Born and raised in Montgomery, I never imagined I would finish up my schooling in town. I graduated from Troy University with a degree in Exercise Science focused on furthering my career in health care. I then came back to get my doctorate in physical therapy at ASU.

Following graduation I worked in outpatient physical therapy and realized there had to be a better way to get people feeling their best. I wanted to focus on one patient at a time, listen to what was holding them back from living with purpose, and help them on their wellness journey.

Purpose Health & Wellness is a place where I want to focus on my patients’ needs, work with them to create goals, and assist in getting them back on track for a life of less pain, more mobility, more flexibility, and more purposeful days ahead doing what they love.

At Purpose I treat adults, pediatric patients, and even have training in myofascial release and treatment along with tethered oral tissues (lip tie, tongue tie, buccal tie) functional training. I can start seeing patients at just a couple days old. In the state of Alabama PT is allowed to perform an evaluation without a referral, which is extremely helpful when wondering whether PT is right for you or your child’s health journey.

Hi! I’m Lauren, the PTA here at Purpose! 
I have a huge passion for working with the pediatric population and love helping others achieve their goals so they can live their best lives. I love working with babies and their parents and being a part of their journey through those sweet and sometimes overwhelming early stages. Alongside my degree and state licensure as a clinician, I also earned certifications in Kinesiology/Exercise Science and Wellness/Personal Training during my time in school.

I’m committed to continuing my education through specialized courses and certifications that will help me grow in this field and better serve the families we work with. Outside of work, you can find me sipping coffee, hanging out with my dogs and fiancé, or crafting customizable gifts at home!

I’m so excited to keep growing and helping others thrive—with PURPOSE!
