Lauren Varney
Presented by: Lauren Varney, MD, CHWC

Dr. Varney received her medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine and completed an internship in psychiatry at UMass. She is a certified health and wellness coach through Wellcoaches. Please visit her website at: www.steppingstonewellness.com

As a medical student, Psychiatry Resident, and Urgent Care Physician early in her medical career, she learned all that she could about the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Since trading medicine for motherhood in 2006, her focus, energy, and passion has shifted from disease to health. Her desire to understand and experience personally what it means to be well (physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually) has led to years of independent in-depth study and training in many areas of interest such as nutrition, lifestyle and integrative medicine, brain health, stress modification, and the faith and health connection. Dr. Varney’s passion for personal wellness and her desire to educate, equip, and support others on their journey to wellness are at the foundation of Stepping Stone Wellness.

When it comes to the terms health and wellness, she sees health as a desired outcome, elusive though it be. Wellness, however, is not about the outcome, but the journey. It’s a day-by-day process involving awareness, learning, understanding, and then stepping toward both a greater sense of well-being and positive health outcomes. Dr. Varney believes that even in the midst of chronic disease, you can be well as you tend to your body, your soul, and your spirit and begin to experience greater peace and less stress wherever you are on your journey towards health.

Helping you add years to your life and life to your years as you set your course and move in the direction of health and wellness, one step at a time.Lauren Varney
