We are a busy clinic in the rapidly growing Auckland suburb of Hobsonville. Our clinic rooms are within a bustling, well established Physiotherapy practice and right next to the local GP. Within the clinic space, we have a custom built workroom where we modify orthotics on site.
Our goal is to provide a place of healing that empowers people to engage in their lives more fully. We aim to provide our clients with honest advice and recommendations in order to achieve overall health through the mechanism of their feet. Our philosophy is to treat everyone as individuals and shape their treatment appropriately. We work closely with other allied medical professionals to ensure the best treatment possible.
Lauren Wannenburg (nee Peet)
Lauren is the clinic owner and team leader. She has a passion for feet and loves working with people to help them function pain free and get back doing the things they love.
Lauren graduated from AUT in 2010 with a Bachelor of Health Science, majoring in Podiatry. Since then she has completed a postgraduate Diploma at AUT on the MindBody aspect of health and wellbeing. She is aware of the benefits of addressing health holistically and aims to treat all her patients in this manner. Lauren has a strong belief that treatment is centred around patient education & empowerment, self-management and future prevention.
In her spare time Lauren enjoys reading, gardening, walking and (occasionally) surfing. These activities help balance the busy-ness of life as a business owner!
Lauren is currently on maternity leave, returning in a partial capacity later in the year.
