The pandemic brought the importance of coaching parents to the forefront, but I had found so few accessible and instantly applicable courses to guide me , despite taking every coaching course I could find. Laura’s expertise in the NICU, home health, and out-patient environments informed her coursework and brought a wealth of knowledge other providers did not have.
