Missy D. Lavender

Missy Lavender is the founder of To Know is To Know, formerly known as Women's Health Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit foundation located in Chicago, IL. Missy is a pioneer and champion of pelvic health and wellness for girls and women of all ages. By sponsoring research, developing educational initiatives, and promoting innovative programs geared toward the community since 2004, Missy's mission for the foundation has been to increase public awareness around pelvic health issues. Missy's relentless commitment stems from personal experience as a post-partum patient. Confronted with a lack of treatment options, she sought the guidance of medical and fitness experts to create and implement a personal healing strategy that became the basis for a new community-based fitness and educational program for women called Total Control™. A mother of two teens, Ms. Lavender holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
