• OUR MISSION, our Why

Let us share a little more about the Optimal Health Lab origin story. Every founder has a driving force behind their actions and the Optimal Health Lab was born out of a clinician's desire to work in a team of collaborative experts to achieve OPTIMAL client outcomes.

proudly founded by locals

The Optimal Health Lab was founded by Eltham-bred siblings Lauren McLinden (nee Campbell) and her brother Andrew Campbell. They had a energetic vision to build a clinic where healthcare was more seamless and collaborative by having an expert team under one roof to achieve optimal health, wellbeing and performance. The doors of the Optimal Health Lab opened in May 2017 with this vision as the driving force.

Lauren and Andrew have looked far and wide to onboard an expert team who approach every client differently, listen deeply to their needs and goals, and ultimately create a personalised experience for them. They are very proud to see that early vision living strong in the clinic every day!

Lauren and Andrew continue to be active and passionate Directors through to today. Andrew is our ever-resourceful General Manager, and Lauren balances both a Clinic Director role and a dynamic physiotherapy client caseload.

BUILT ON COMMUNITY

Since its inception, the Optimal Health Lab has successfully established a loyal following and community. We are humbled by the number of clients entrusting their health, wellbeing and performance with our team and we treasure the many successes we have shared with our community of clients. From actively being on the sidelines of local sporting teams through to supporting charity fundraisers and community events, the team continues has strong roots in the Diamond Valley landscape.
