"Lauren added years and significant quality of life for my dog Buttons. When we first came to Paws Align, Buttons had significant arthritis, couldn't walk very well, and was on multiple daily pain medications. I was mostly interested in making Buttons comfortable for whatever time she had left. Lauren and Buttons made an instant connection, allowing her to find, stretch, work out, and massage all the sore joints and muscles. When Lauren starts her massage, Buttons just melts into her lap. After a few sessions Buttons was walking smoother, losing her limp, and no longer tripping over small cracks in the sidewalk. We are now able to take longer walks with more energy. Our friends and neighbors we see on walks have commented on how noticeably better Buttons is moving and looking happier. She has regained her playfulness and loves the exercise games we have created with Lauren to keep her limber and strong. I've been able to take Buttons off her daily pain meds and only administer them occasionally as needed. Lauren has shown me that Buttons can have more than a few remaining comfortable months and rather have a few more playful years."

“Lauren has a warm, calm presence, listens carefully and has healing hands! I was amazed at how quickly my dog let her massage and mobilize her sensitive leg and how quickly she began improving. Lauren is unbelievably dedicated to her work and has a way with animals.”

“In my experience Lauren's calm nature and gentleness with my quirky rescue dogs has made them feel very comfortable and safe. Lauren communicates with animals and understands them in a really unique and insightful way. After short interactions Lauren was able to notice small behaviors and mannerisms I was unaware of, which hinted at their being in pain or having issues with certain movements. One of my dogs has hip dysplasia, and Lauren has helped relieve his discomfort through massage, reducing his need for medication. My dogs love her and I always know they are in good hands when they are with Lauren!”

"Lauren is a true dog whisperer! My pup Bailey hates the vet and being examined, but quickly warmed to Lauren. Lauren gained her trust, and Bailey allowed Lauren to examine, mobilize, and massage her leg. My pup won't let the vet (or usually even me!) touch her sore leg, but Lauren was massaging and mobilizing it in no time. Lauren also explained to me Bailey's movement and mechanical issues, so that I can continue to work with my pup to ensure she stays as limber as possible. She has a true way with animals, and I'm so grateful for all she's done for Bailey!"
