My clients call me "The Body Whisperer"

It’s not just because I’ve guided hundreds of women to heal from body pain, pelvic floor dysfunction or anxiety...

It’s also because I lead them to huge a-ha moments.

You know the kind of moment when something clicks so deeply inside of you because you understand in your deepest being exactly why you have been feeling what you have been feeling in your body.

AND you get a pure rush of excitement and relief, knowing there is change coming and YOU have every bit of power to make your change!

Are you ready for your a-ha moment?

"Lauren is a true master of the body. She focuses on the inter-connectedness of all parts of the body and teaches you how they work together. At age 63, she taught me how to breathe correctly! She is amazing. I would highly recommend her.”

~Karen Lawson-Johnston; Sales Specialist

"After working with Lauren for a few months, I am ecstatic that she has helped me heal my diastasis recti. I had tried just about everything (online DR specific courses, avoiding sit ups, etc) and decided a tummy that pooched out was something I would have to learn to love. In my first class, Lauren helped me reset my posture. She gave me moves to practice at home for a few minutes every day. I found myself constantly correcting my alignment - while working out, running, sitting down, riding bikes with my kids, and in the car. I could feel a change happening - so much so that I changed the position of my car seat to sit up straighter! I was challenged mentally and physically by Lauren and at the end of my sessions, my DR feels completely healed! No more pooch!!! I am so grateful for Lauren, not only for helping me heal my DR, but for helping me breathe better and feel more aligned."

"This is an amazing, life-changing program!!!! So glad I took it, Lauren - you're a miracle worker with a foam roller and a smile!!"

“I had no idea how much it could help me to have a better understanding of my pelvic floor and it’s role in my body’s movements until I took Lauren’s Pelvic Floor Program. From the very first class I was so excited about the “a-ha” moments I was having. Lauren is an incredible teacher and so knowledgable about the body and the importance of the pelvic floor. I re-learned how to breathe - never knowing before that I wasn’t getting my breaths into every part of my body. Now, when I focus on breathing the way Lauren taught me in this class, I can feel a huge difference in my strength. Because Lauren realizes every person’s body is different and everybody learns differently, she makes sure each participant in the program had a clear understanding of their own body and the cues that are most effective in helping each person use their body most efficiently. I loved this program, and believe it has made a huge difference in my breathing, my alignment, my strength and my confidence.”

~Carol Cottrell; Spiritual Medium

"Lauren!!! You are amazing. How did you fix me in 45 minutes?! I ran 14 miles this morning and had zero bladder issues!!! I also feel more relaxed + less tense since our class. I've been practicing the breathing every morning before I get out of bed and I believe it helps set me up for the day. Thank you so much!"

~ Semi-Private Virtual Session student

“Pelvic Floor Program with Lauren Levine is mind blowing...a true game changer to get out of pain patterns. She studies YOUR breathing, YOUR posture, YOUR case history and individualizes the exercises to balance your breathing and intra-abdominal pressure. This is NOT about kegel exercises and belly breathing because Lauren understands that pelvic floor strength is about restoring 3-dimensional balance of the entire container and that each one of us is so different that an individualized approach is critical. Lauren’s instruction brings awareness to this beautiful container within us in such a way that now I think about my alignment and breathing all the time...walking, driving, working and now my SI pain has gone away and I feel a strength I’ve never had before! 
Thank you Lauren!!!”

~ Liz McNulty; M.S. in Rehab Sciences, Tensegrity Medicine Practitioner

Working with Lauren throughout my pregnancy has been wonderful! She is able to tailor each Session to that week’s aches and pains. The breathing and pelvic work has helped me be more comfortable than I ever thought I would be throughout my pregnancy. I cannot more highly recommend Lauren to help out anyone through this journey!

~ Lauren Owens; Frames Unlimited owner and new Mom

The Pelvic Floor Program was life changing for me.  Lauren was able to identify key issues and develop individualized strategies to improve them. She taught me so much about my postpartum body that I had not considered, even though I am in the medical field. This program has allowed me to return to the activities I love without fear of constant leakage, pain, or worry that I am injuring my body more. I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Lauren, her teaching abilities, and her ability to connect with each person on a deeper level of understanding. If you are a momma of any age and considering this program, take the leap and trust that Lauren has got you covered! You just need to believe that you deserve it as much as she does!

"Hearing you speak about the pelvic floor alone is enough to create changes in the spine and pelvic alignment.  It is enough to help one use muscles they almost never use.  I now feel more confident with my gait which I have long had trouble with.  I have also come to appreciate the value of patience and that less is more.  You don’t have to be in pain to learn to move the way God made you to move."

~ Dr Anouchka Douyan, MD

"I am currently 56 years old.  After having had a hysterectomy at the age of 24 along with 5 other Laproscopy surgeries, scar tissue had become very problematic for me. 

Then, when you add in the many years of bad movement, poor posture and the birth of two children, it is fair to say my abdominal/pelvic area is/was a mess!  

By the time I was 45, I had already had 2 surgeries to repair damages internally that scar tissue had caused.  The last repair surgery was due to the scar tissue knotting my bladder into my intestines causing my MRI to show a mass in my pelvic area.  It was causing me pain along with intestinal discomfort and bladder discomfort.  

Following that surgery in 2008, my Uro-Gynecologist at UAB in Birmingham said that I should not allow any abdominal surgeries unless it is a matter of life and death.  He said any further surgeries will only make my scar tissue issue worse.  

He also suggested yoga/pilates.  He said the stretching techniques used in those type of programs would help the scar tissue stay more pliable a little longer.  

I had been having bowel difficulties for about 15 years, but through time it had gradually gotten worse.  Then, last year in 2018, I was diagnosed with Rectocele and Cystocele.  I was having difficulty urinating and my bowels on the right side would barely move.    

When I questioned my Gastroenterologist about my bowel problems, they said I would need to take Miralax for the motility disorder.  As for the Rectocele and Cystocele, those would have to be corrected through surgery.  

I WAS DEVASTATED!!  

I took my devastation, however, and let it become my determination.  There had to be another way!  

I asked my Urologist about female physical therapy.  He said it would be worth a try, so I tried it.  I had physical therapy twice a week for almost 5 months.  At first, it was helpful, it gave my bladder some strength.  As the months of physical therapy progressed, however, my pain, due to scar tissue, progressed.  

They were trying to help me with the pain with massages, laser therapy, etc., but I finally got to a point that I could not take the pain any longer so I had to quit going.  

I want to interject here that a lot of women that have had hysterectomies at an early age as I did go through similar situations.  In some cases, the scar tissue damage accompanied by the amount of strong pain medication they take for the pain causes them to have a shorter life expectancy rate succumbing to their issues in their 50’s and early 60’s.  

I was even informed by one of my doctors, following my hysterectomy, that MY life expectancy rate was cut short.  

This is when, initially, I began to use my devastation to  become my determination.

Although I had followed my Uro-Gynecologist’s advice and have been involved in yoga and/or pilates for the past 12 years, my scar tissue issues worsened.  

After having to stop Physical Therapy due to the scar tissue pain, I began working with Lauren to help correct my pelvic floor issues.  Little did I know, my journey for finding answers other than surgery began Lauren’s journey for finding ways to help women with their pelvic floor issues.  Lauren has helped me tremendously!!  

Her approach is unique to you and your specific pelvic floor issue.  She helps you develop a plan of rehabilitation that is uniquely yours.  It does involve “homework,” but it doesn’t take a lot of time. Doing your homework improves your process so it is definitely worthwhile.  

Six months following her pelvic floor class my urine stream became stronger, my bladder no longer ached, my abdominal pain greatly diminished, my back pain that I had had for the past 6 years was mostly nonexistent and my bowels on the right side have began to gurgle.  

As for my scar tissue issue, Lauren recommended acupuncture.  I have been going for acupuncture for almost a year now and the density of the scar tissue has become more pliable by about 80%.  There were a couple of extremely dense and/or difficult spots that needed additional help.  I had cupping done to soften those spots.  I also have had a few colon massages, along with the acupuncture, to help the motility issues, which is improving as well.  

My belly was hard as a rock due to the scar tissue and now it is soft and pliable everywhere you touch. I cannot get over the changes that have occurred in my pelvic region.  

To me, the changes are astonishing!!  

My Urologists were also astonished.  They were so impressed with my progress externally that they asked if I minded having an internal pelvic exam at my next visit so they can measure and verify the progress internally as well.  

If you are wanting a holistic approach to improving not only your personal pelvic issues, but issues you had no idea were related to your pelvic (Ex. Back pain), I would HIGHLY recommend Lauren’s pelvic floor program!!"

UPDATE:

It has now been over two years since my last update.  On July 12, 2021, I revisited my Urologist and am happy to repost that my bladder issues are still resolved, and everything is still in its proper place. 

Initially, my acupuncture was once every two weeks, I now go once every 5 weeks.  We are working on the areas of scar tissue that were very dense, but at a much slower pace.  The belly is still soft and pliable and has great blood flow! 

I still check in with Lauren periodically to make sure I am moving properly and using my diaphragmatic breathing to best sustain my pelvic floor. 

The back pain is still nonexistent. 

The journey has involved effort on my part, but my body feels better than it has ever felt in the past 14 years!  Thank you, Lauren!!
