Dr Lauren Steinfort CHIROPRACTOR

Dr Lauren first experienced chiropractic care as a teenager, for various long term sports injuries. She sought care from a chiropractor, who explained that by first developing a strong foundation (spine, pelvis, cranium, nervous system), there is a much greater ability to heal the rest of your body, mind, spirit and soul. It made a significant difference and had a profound affect on Lauren. 

After graduating in 2009 with a Master’s in Clinical Chiropractic, Lauren worked in a busy Bayside family practice for two years before heading overseas for further adventures and life experiences. In 2013, she made Amsterdam her home, and since that time has worked in various family practices in Amsterdam and across The Netherlands. 

Prior to joining the Seed team in 2021, Lauren lived and worked in the Netherlands, where she actively developed her knowledge on paediatric and pregnancy care, completing various courses, including the Websters Technique course. She also gained greater understanding of chiropractic philosophy, science and art, which deepened her passion for the chiropractic profession. As well, she was co-host of a popular podcast on chiropractic care.

Lauren and her Dutch partner have three lively daughters, aged 6, 4 & 2, and in her spare time loves to spend time in nature, running, practising yoga, gardening and being active. Recently her family relocated to the Bayside area.

Lauren loves being part of the Seed community, and is looking forward to meeting you.
