Hello! I'm Laura.

I am a mom to two boys and the experience of their births forever changed me. I completed the Perinatal Support Practitioner certification with Carol Peat of Babies Naturally in 2015 and the Parent Education course in 2016. I am also one of Canada's first Attached at the Heart parent educators, certified through Attachment Parenting International. Additionally, I am certified as an expert in potty training (I know! It's actually a thing) with Oh Crap Potty Training. I truly love helping tiny humans and their parents through this important milestone.

So what is a Perinatal Support Practitioner? You are perhaps more familiar with the term 'doula'. I provide emotional (and physical) support to people on their journey to become parents. That might look like holding space for people as they birth their babies, providing infant feeding support, prenatal education in the comfort of your home, or supporting you as you make parenting choices that help you feel more connected and rooted within your family.

Whatever your journey looks like, I'd love to support you, as you become your family.

Xoxo
Laura
