Welcome to my podcast, The Wellness Project with Des. On today’s episode, I spoke with chiropractor, Dr. Lauren N. Penn. Dr. Lauren’s practice is focused on true wellness. Previously a Surgical Technologist, Dr. Lauren made the switch to chiropractic to align more with her beliefs in whole wellness. She’s been a chiropractor since 2017 and opened her own practice in March of 2019.
With her patients, Dr. Lauren focuses on “how you got to where you are”. A huge focus in her practice is the mind-body connection and how her patients need to work on the wellness of both their body and mind.
“Whatever we feed our minds, our body will follow.”
Dr. Lauren N. Penn
Because she believes in whole wellness, Dr. Lauren partners with different health care providers in her area such as acupuncturists, physical therapists, massage therapists, and mental health therapists. She also collaborates with fitness gyms and trainers to offer classes such as yoga, flexibility training, and resistance training at her practice.
Dr. Lauren explains that wellness is a marathon, not a sprint. Whole wellness takes time, practice, and lots of patience.
“Healing takes time if you really want to be well. Wellness takes time. It’s a marathon and it’s everyday work.”
