Lauren's keen interest for health and well being stems from her love & devotion towards animals. She has had the privilege of caring for a variety of animals and has experience in an animal shelter, several small veterinary practices and animal retail stores, but her true passion is with horses.
Born in Calgary, Alberta she was introduced to horses at a young age with the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth – the Calgary Stampede as well as the spectacular venue and international competitors at Spruce Meadows. She has been an avid horsewoman for over 15 years by riding, training and competing in the Hunter/Jumper discipline and has worked for several boarding and show barns, a horse retail store and within the horse health industry.
She has graduated from Lakehead University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and furthered her degree by graduating from Brock University with her Honors in Biological Sciences. She has been Certified as an Equine Sports Massage Therapist, Reiki Practitioner and has attained the Equine Science Certificate with Distinction through the University of Guelph. She continues to enroll in courses such as Acupressure, Shiatsu, Equine Energy and Advanced Oil Application, the Equine Health & Emergency First Aid & most recently the Equi-Taping Practitioners Training and Practicum.
Lauren wished to pursue a career orientated around the health and therapeutic aspects of science and happily took on a position at Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals Inc. in 2010 and started HealthEquine Therapies in 2012. She has also been featured on Hoofbeats Radio, an equine based radio program CFRU 93.3FM Guelph, where she discussed her equestrian lifestyle & career and was interviewed via teleconference on the Performance & Recovery of Horses with Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals Inc. She has also written and published several equine articles for OASIS Essential Living and is a Wellness Advocate for doTerra Essential Oils.
When Lauren is not busy with work, she is out at the barn riding and training her Thoroughbred mare, Britannia, or spending quality time with her boyfriend, friends and family.

A more holistic approach using alternative medicine is now preferred by many trainers and riders. "Holistic" means that in order to creaste an environment for the maintenance or restoration of health, we must consider the horse in his totality - the sum of his physical and psychological traits - rather than treat each symptom seperately. We must take into consideration all the various factors affecting both the internal and external environment of the horse. We know the the body will strive to heal, repair, and maintain itself - if the right conditions are present.
To help the healing capacity of the body, the horse's emotional stability, lifestyle, nutritional balance, exercise and hygiene programs, as well as structural soundness, are our responsibilty.
