Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!
I'm Laura, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and Dr. Jack Newman trained International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I am passionate about serving new families. I help them prepare for those early weeks postpartum and I support them once they arrive there. I equip them with knowledge and the tools they need to navigate the breastfeeding journey, infant sleep, and postpartum wellness. I am also a huge refugee health advocate and believe in the importance of breastfeeding and attachment in creating healthy and resilient little beings. I have a heart for displaced families and this is woven in to everything I do. Bringing this all together as a multi-passionate entrepreneur means I get to be involved in handful of meaningful and fulfilling endeavours. |

In person supportI offer home and hospital visits in Toronto for families.
My clinical focus is working with women and infants postpartum to support breastfeeding, normal infant sleep, and postpartum wellness. Whether you are looking for a prenatal consult to prepare for baby or need me after baby is born- I got your back. |
Virtual supportI offer postpartum prep consults for families in remote locations for families living abroad.
We go over breastfeeding, infant sleep, and postpartum wellness. If concerns arise after baby arrives, I'll support you if you don't have access to in person care. * 20% of visit fee donated to Nurture Project International |

Giving Back
I am so inspired by businesses that are committed to making a positive social impact. My heart for refugee health and breastfeeding led me to volunteer with an NGO focussed on infant and young child feeding in emergencies (IYCF-E).
As the Technical Advisor for their project in northern Iraq I am helping in the development of important capacity building training programs for local health workers, refugees and IDPs. My main focus is on creating a postpartum peer support training program as well as an advanced clinical lactation training program to serve the local community.
Join me as a Nurture Project International supporter and help us in our capacity building in northern Iraq. And please share the news that for every online consultation I do, 20% of the visit fee gets donated to the efforts of the organization!
