    Laura

    FOUNDER

    Hi, I’m Laura Faris — A Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with 10 years of nursing experience, including 7 years specializing in perinatal and infant care.

    I support families through pregnancy, postpartum and infant feeding with a calm, evidence based approach that meets you where you are. Without pressure, guilt or rigid rules. I believe perinatal care should feel collaborative, supportive and grounded in both research and real life.

    My clinical background includes experience in obstetrics, pediatrics, gynecology and family medicine. Allowing me to offer well rounded support for both parent and baby. I have also worked in prenatal care settings providing elective ultrasounds and supportive services. Always with a gentle, educational and client centered focus.

    As a IBCLC, I specialize in infant feeding support, postpartum education and helping parents feel informed and confident in their choices. Whether that includes breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, combination feeding or formula feeding.

    My Approach

    I understand that every family’s journey is unique. There is no one “right” way to feed or care for your baby - only what works best for you.

    At Bond & Bloom, care is rooted in experience, empathy, and respect. My role is to offer guidance, reassurance and practical support so you feel empowered and not overwhelmed, you navigate this season.

    Outside of nursing, I am passionate about natural ways to support the body, practising yoga and Pilates and spending meaningful time with friends and family. All of which shaped the calm, balanced approach I bring to my work.

    You’re in the Right Place

    If you are looking for informed, compassionate support that honours your choices and your pace, I am glad you are here.
