I graduated from University College Dublin in Ireland in 2019 and moved to New Zealand shortly afterwards.
As a physio, I have worked with soccer, rugby and gaelic football teams across a variety of age groups and levels in mens + womens sport in Ireland and New Zealand. I am currently studying for a Certified Specialist in Strength and Conditioning qualification to continue to develop my skills.
I am passionate about helping people get back to doing the things they love and really enjoy working with people to achieve their goals. I have a particular interest in injuries that require long term rehab and love using my exercise skills to make sure people are getting back to and beyond their pre-injury levels. That interest leads me to see a lot of significant injuries and post-surgical cases with ACL injuries, shoulder dislocations and achilles ruptures currently top of my list.
Outside of work I love all types of sport. I'm currently playing soccer and gaelic football along with gym training, but I have qualifications as a kayaking, sailing and paddle boarding instructor and I'm currently trying to master surfing. When I'm not playing sports, I love exploring New Zealand's beautiful landscape by hiking, camping and tramping. View details »
I graduated from AUT with a Bachelor of Health Science in Physiotherapy in 2022. Before
this, I worked as a Massage Therapist for eight years, gaining valuable hands-on experience
with professional sports teams and clients managing a range of injuries.
Now an intermediate physiotherapist, my key interests are in post-surgical rehab,
tendinopathy management, and introducing strength training to clients new to exercise. My
approach is evidence-based and tailored, focusing on collaboration and problem-solving to
achieve meaningful outcomes.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing guitar, playing golf, and staying active with strength training
and fitness challenges.

Hi, I’m Lauren, an Irish Physiotherapist with a background in Sports Science and Strength & Conditioning. I completed both the Professional Masters in Physiotherapy and the BSc in Health & Performance Science at University College Dublin.
Since graduating, I have worked in private practice in Dublin, helping a wide range of clients including athletes to those looking to stay active and pain-free. I enjoy combining exercise-based rehab and education to support people in moving better, feeling stronger and reaching their goals. I have also been fortunate to work with the Football Association of Ireland, where I led the design and delivery of athletic development programmes.
I recently moved to New Zealand for a new adventure, to enjoy the outdoors and to continue growing professionally. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places and participating in endurance events. View details »
