Missy LavenderMissy Lavender is the founder of Women's Health Foundation, a not-for-profit organization championing pelvic health and wellness for women of all ages by sponsoring research, creating community, developing educational initiatives, and promoting innovtive programs for women suffering from incontinence and other related health conditions. Ms. Lavender's passion for helping women stems from her personal experience as a post-partum patient. Through researching treatment options, she became aware of the pervasiveness of female incontinence as well as the limited number of treatments available. Armed with the guidance of medical and fitness experts and her own research, Ms. Lavender created and implemented a personal healing strategy that became the basis for a new community-based fitness and educational program for women called Total Control(TM). The foundation's work with women led to the development of curriculum aimed at tween, teen, and younger girls, to foster discussion and generational change in thinking about women's pelvic health. Missy holds a BA in Speech Communication from Miami University and an MBA from the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University. She lives in Chicago with her teenage son and daughter and their two canine monsters. Read More Read Less
