Laura is truly a breath of fresh air during the postpartum period. While life with a new baby can be joyful, it also brings immense change—adjusting to new roles/relationships, managing feeding challenges, navigating sleep deprivation, meeting nutritional demands, and caring for older children—all while experiencing the profound identity shift of matrescence. In the midst of all this, Laura is the calm, grounding presence every family needs. She arrives on time and tackles the lingering to-do list with the ease and care of someone who instinctively knows what’s needed. Like a modern-day Mary Poppins, she brings humor, warmth, and capability that instantly put you at ease. She begins each visit by asking, “How can I best support you today?”—a thoughtful reflection of her flexible, client-centered approach. Once immediate needs are met, she helps you think ahead, collaborating on a plan that supports long-term well-being. She’s an exceptional cook, preparing delicious nourishing meals for the whole family. What appears effortless is truly the product of her meticulous preparation, organizational skills, and heartfelt dedication to supporting families. Laura brings a valuable blend of experience to her work. Her background in child-rearing, dog training, cookbook writing, and corporate project management gives her a unique understanding of the complex demands of modern family life. She offers grounded, practical wisdom for both mother and baby, and has a special gift for working with older children—integrating meaningful learning and encouragement into her time with them. Above all, Laura is kind, genuine, efficient, and intuitive. She has a remarkable ability to tune into what a family truly needs and provides that support with grace, integrity, and excellence. While her care centers around mom and baby, she never loses sight of the entire family. Any household would be incredibly fortunate to have her.
