Clinical Director

I qualified in 2017 from the University of Birmingham with a Physiotherapy BSc (Hons) and started my career in the NHS as a junior physiotherapist. During my time there, I completed rotations in stroke medicine, musculoskeletal care, hand therapy, care of the elderly, trauma and orthopaedics, acute medicine, and respiratory medicine. This gave me the chance to work with both adults and children, managing everything from acute injuries to long-term conditions. My own experiences as both an athlete and a patient give me a real appreciation of the recovery journey, and I bring that understanding to every person I work with.

During my time in the NHS, I had the privilege of working closely with consultants, clinical specialists, and other allied health professionals, and I really enjoyed mentoring students and junior physiotherapists. One of the highlights of my early career was helping to implement a successful Falls Prevention Program, and being key part of the discharge pathway – making sure patients could move safely and confidently from hospital back into their homes.

I realised quickly that community rehab wasn’t always meeting people’s needs, and simultaneously had found a passion and was developing expertise in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. I could see the impact it made on people’s lives, and I’ve always believed rehab should be accessible, personal, and tailored to what matters most to each patient.

After more than three years in the NHS, I knew I needed a change – both for my own work–life balance and to be able to offer the kind of high-quality, patient-centred rehab I believe in. That’s when Spiral Health was born.

Sport has always been a big part of my life. I am a graduate of Princethorpe College where I balanced academics with a love of physical activity, and over the years I’ve played a lot of sport – with plenty of injuries along the way! In the past I’ve represented Warwickshire in field hockey, though these days I’m a father to two young children so this means the free time I can dedicate to sport is quite limited, so when I can I enjoy a more “weekend warrior” approach, playing cricket for Kenilworth CC 1st team and Sunday league football.

Patient Reviews

Fantastic experience with Lauren! She is fab, so friendly and explained everything clearly. I received my follow up report the same day! I will be recommending her to every mum I know.

Melissa Weatherby

We’ll I can’t praise Lauren highly enough. It’s taken me 5 years to finally book a mummy mot and I was really nervous but definitely the best couple of hours of “self-care” I’ve spent in a long time and has given me a way forward with very tiny changes which will make a massive difference. I can’t thank her enough

Charlotte Roberts

I had a fantastic experience with Lauren. She made me feel so comfortable and was clearly very knowledgeable. I’m so glad I invested in learning more about my body post pregnancy/birth and felt very reassured after the mummy MOT session.

Hollie Beckett

I would highly recommend Lauren’s service to anyone. She carried out a full assessment and addressed all of my postnatal concerns which was followed up by a progress plan for returning to my pre baby fitness activities. I now feel confident in carrying out my rehab exercises after practicing them with Lauren and have a better idea of when I can expect to get back to my classes.

Yasmine Shenize

I highly recommend a Mummy MOT with Lauren, she’s so warm, kind and so passionate about what she does, I felt very at ease throughout. With Laurens help I was back Horse Riding without any of the discomfort I was feeling after giving birth and I actually understand how to do Pelvic Floor exercises now. Thank you Lauren!

Elizabeth Funnell

As a mum (new or not), if you only buy yourself one thing post birth (no matter what type of birth you had, or when it happened), then this is it! I found out about Mummy MOT through someone I follow on Instagram and knew this was something I wanted to get pretty much as soon as I fell pregnant, it was on my many lists! I went through the Mummy MOT website and found Lauren at Spire Health as my local practitioner and enquired with her directly. Lauren replied to my email almost instantly and my booking was confirmed with a friendly telephone call. On the day, Lauren couldn’t have been nicer or friendlier, she made me feel at ease as we worked through the questions before my physical check. She was so professional and knew exactly what to do/suggest for my areas of concern/that need rehabilitation. Within 4 hours of leaving me, I had received my in depth report of everything we had discussed and her findings as well as a tailored exercise program to follow, to support my rehabilitation. If I could sing Lauren’s praises any louder and wider I would! The words ‘highly recommended’ don’t give her enough credit to how amazing I thought her session was, but I absolutely would highly recommend her to all! Thank you so much Lauren!

I saw Lauren for a Mummy MOT physio session and review today following a traumatic birth 7 weeks ago. I was incredibly impressed with the session and highly recommend it to any new mothers who are hoping to regain strength and confidence postpartum. Lauren took care to go through a detailed assessment of the pregnancy, birth and antenatal experience, and then gave me a full physical assessment, including addressing pelvic and abdominal concerns specific to pregnancy. She then gave me personalised exercises (which can be modified as I gain strength) and a plan going forwards to help me get back to full fitness and running! Most importantly Lauren made me feel comfortable and at ease the entire time, and her reassuring, friendly nature made it an enjoyable, rewarding and worthwhile experience, as I was able to see a clear plan for returning to fitness and gaining my body confidence back. Thank you, Lauren!

Emily Thompson

So glad I invested in a Mummy MOT with Lauren!! I heard about the mummy MOT just after I gave birth last year but there was no practitioners in my area at the time. So I had my Mummy MOT with Lauren at about 12 months PP and I have to say it was everything I needed and so much more! From the minute Lauren came into my home I felt so comfortable and at ease. I felt really seen as she listened to all the details of my (traumatic) birth. She addressed all of my concerns/questions re pelvic floor and returning to exercise so thoroughly. My C-section scar was never something that bothered me, but Lauren showed me how to massage and treat the scar, and it looked better within days of following her advice. Lauren was so professional from start to finish and sent a really in-depth report and exercise programme to me via email afterwards, which I still refer to every day. Overall I can’t recommend a Mummy MOT with Lauren any more highly, every new Mum needs one!

Stephanie Wells

One of the best investments you can make in yourself post partum! I am now 3.5 months PP and I couldn’t recommend Lauren more! Such a thorough and in depth conversation and examination and I felt so listened to. We went through exercises for both my body and pelvic floor and Lauren really focussed on what I wanted to achieve going forward and tailored the exercises to make sure I will be able to meet my goals safely and comfortably. I have now had pelvic floor physio and a gynaecology appointment on the NHS and neither compared to the care and expertise I got from Lauren.

Stef Barnett

Lauren was the epitome of friendly, professional and hugely knowledgeable professional. My ‘MOT’ was thorough, took on board all of my concerns, has provided practical and actionable advice (with the limited time of a new mum in mind) and given me the confidence for exactly how to return to the exercise I love, and look after my post partum body. I am hugely grateful, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lauren to anybody
