Your Osteopath

Lauren Storey Bsc(hons)OstMed DPO ND


Lauren benefited from osteopathy early on in her life and was impressed by the philosophy of working with the body physically to reach its full health potential and so she enrolled to study osteopathy. She completed the 4 year course at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, receiving her Bsc(hons) Osteopathic Medicine in 2008.

After an 18 month spell working in New Zealand she began to develop a much deeper interest in the treatment of children and women during pregnancy and returned to England to study at the Osteopathic Centre for Children gaining a Diploma with distinction in paediatric osteopathy. Lauren stayed at the clinic for 10 years, becoming a clinical teacher and lecturer which allowed her to continue working along side some of the best paediatric osteopaths in the country.

Since graduating Lauren has completed more than 850 hours of continued professional development designed to further her skills of palpation and treatment including using ‘cranial’ techniques via the Sutherland Cranial College and a foundation level in treatment using the Classical approach via the Institute of Classical Osteopathy. As well as specialising in paediatric and obstetric osteopathy, Lauren see’s a wide range of patients who are keen to use osteopathy not only to alleviate musculoskeletal pain, but also to improve their overall health and wellbeing.

Lauren is registered with the General Osteopathc Council (No. 6973) and is a member of the Institute of Osteopathy.

Lauren works Mondays and Wednesdays
