Laura started working with our family when my newborn son was 5 weeks old. My 4.5 yr old son was having a tough time adjusting, and without sleep, I was struggling to be patient.
Laura did a fantastic job of coming into our home and seamlessly integrating herself. Her calm, easy going demeanor made us all feel comfortable, and her expert knowledge about newborns and older children alike was extremely helpful. My baby was very fussy, and since my first son had not been this way, it was new and uncertain territory for me. She guided me in looking for my newborns cues, coached me on calming and soothing him, and helped me get some rest so I could be a better parent to both kids.
Laura made a huge difference in catching a tongue tie that had been supposedly fixed. We had it clipped at birth, but the Dr had missed a large part of the tissue and while it was better, he was still struggling to latch properly. We had overlooked any tongue issues because we had thought it was taken care of. Laura's acute observation led us right back to the Dr, where he agreed there was still too much tying his tongue down and did the procedure over again. I was so thankful! Without her, I don't think we would have realized the issue.
Laura was always professional, kind, empathetic, patient and proactive. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking postpartum help. I am so thankful to have had her be a part of my sons first few weeks of life! read more
