In a nutshell...

My name is Lauren Beasley Shanaphy. I am an eternal student of progress. I am in constant search of a better way and am driven positively mad watching someone struggle when I know there is a simpler solution, regardless of how trivial or grave the problem. In other words, I like helping people.

As a physical therapist, my personal and professional philosophy are one and the same. If there is a will (and an internet connection) there is a way. This simple idea drives me to continue to learn the best methods to help clients, and since we're being honest, to help myself. I make it my business to understand how the body works to the best of my ability so that I can help others help themselves. 

When I'm not dazzling clients with my knowledge of the human body or curing ailments with jedi-mind tricks, I enjoy performing feats of mediocre strength, cooking (eating), playing cruise director for family time with my husband and son, and forcing my dogs to snuggle with me.
