Welcome to Gold Dust Lactation & Sleep. I’m Lauren, a certified lactation counselor and pediatric sleep & wellbeing specialist.

I’m so glad you’re here.

My goal is to help you feel empowered and tended to on your journey through the wild and wonderful early years of parenting. I know firsthand just how emotionally vulnerable, challenging, and completely magical this time can be. If you are looking for ways to nourish yourself postpartum while you heal and bond with your new baby- You’re in the right place. If you need practical guidance on understanding what the heck normal infant sleep looks like or how to improve sleep for older babies and toddlers while optimizing your own opportunities for regulation and rest, you’ve come to the right place.

This is a judgement-free zone. Here, there are no bad habits or unrealistic expectations. Here there is only connection and support, community and belonging, plus a sense of humor and a healthy dose of normalization for those of us who are doing our best to raise up the next generation of kind and caring humans.
