Hi! I’m Dr. Lauren Mandell, a licensed physical therapist and certified personal trainer with over a decade of experience in helping people return to the activities they love. Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in outpatient orthopedics, working with patients to optimize their health and well-being. I hold certifications in Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment, Prenatal and Postpartum Corrective Exercise, and I'm also a Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism Coach.

Growing up with a love for sports, exercise has always been a core part of my life. Now back in my hometown, Hunterdon County, NJ, I’m the proud mom of three amazing little girls who inspired my focus on women’s health. My own experiences through three pregnancies and postpartum journeys revealed a significant gap in care for women during these life stages. Too often, women receive vague or insufficient guidance, with advice to “just take it easy” or “listen to your body.” As someone who works in healthcare, I found this wasn’t enough to feel confident in my choices for myself and my baby.

The more I learned about prenatal and postpartum exercise, the more I felt called to empower women during this transformative period. I launched Evolution Mom to fill this gap—providing targeted support and guidance so women feel strong, informed, and confident in their bodies, during every stage of motherhood (from prenatal, postpartum, and beyond!)
