Our Services

  • Individualized Support

    Through Early Childhood Therapy, we utilize play, movement, and art to help children explore their feelings in a nurturing space. Parent Coaching is offered to support and empower caregivers with insight and practical tools. We also offer Support for Motherhood for those navigating pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood—because your wellbeing matters, too.

  • The Mama Nest

    The Mama Nest is a nurturing support group for mothers and their babies (birth to 12 months), offering a soft place to land during the tender, transformative season of early motherhood. Together, we share stories, engage creatively, soothe worries, celebrate tiny wins, and hold space for the full range of emotions this time can bring. We are here to support you, mama. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

  • Mini-Retreats

    We offer Wellness Gatherings and Day Retreats for organizations or individuals seeking support around early childhood (birth to age eight) and the prenatal to postpartum journey. These gatherings and retreats blend Expressive Arts, Reflection, and Restorative Practices to support wellbeing, reduce stress, and build a sense of connection—for both caregivers and children.

Hi, I’m Lara!

A Nurturer and Connector, art and nature-loving Wife and Mom.

I founded Nurturing Nature to support babies, children, and caregivers in navigating life’s challenges while drawing on their inner strengths and deepening the bonds that sustain them.

At Nurturing Nature, we care for infants and parents, empower caregivers to trust their intuition, and help children rediscover the joy and connection that should define childhood.

Our holistic approach weaves together restorative practices, mind-body awareness, and expressive arts to support you, your baby, and/or your child in meeting your unique goals.

We’re so glad you are here.
