About LA Therapy
Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a Registered Music Therapist and trained Neonatal Intensive Care Music Therapist, passionate about walking alongside families through the joys and challenges of early parenthood.
After working in acute paediatrics, NICU and infant programs, I founded LA Therapy to provide warm, family-centred music therapy for infants, parents and caregivers during the perinatal period and beyond. My work is all about using music as a tool for connection, confidence and wellbeing – whether that’s helping a baby feel safe and calm, supporting bonding, easing ongoing hospital experiences, or giving parents space to breathe, process and feel supported.
At LA Therapy, I offer:
Individual supports – Tailored sessions for babies, parents, or the whole family, focusing on development, parent-infant attachment, NICU/SCN transitions, emotional wellbeing, and perinatal mental health. Music can become part of everyday routines – from sleep and settling to play and exploration – making life feel a little lighter and more connected.
Group programs – Come together with other families in a supportive, welcoming space.
- Connect & Bloom – A music group especially for families who’ve experienced a NICU or SCN admission.
- Mini & Me Melodies – A playful music and bonding group for parents and babies (0–12 months).
Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, adjusting after birth, or supporting your little one’s growth, my aim is to create a safe, nurturing space where music helps you and your baby thrive.

Emotional Toolkit – For Back to Daycare & School
Sending your little one off to daycare, kindergarten or back to school brings up all the feels—relief, pride, grief, sadness, and maybe even a little anxiety. This transition can be even trickier when there is a new baby in the family. You’re not alone in this.

Human Design for Motherhood: Understanding Yourself, Your Child, and Your Parenting
At first glance, you might wonder how Human Design is relevant to your motherhood journey, but I want to share with you the incredible wisdom that this modality offers. The way I see it, this support comes in three powerful ways. It provides guidance and understanding of yourself — how you’re wired and what your needs are. It offers insight into your child and practical guidance to parent in accordance with their unique nature. It strengthens the bond between you, helping you foster a relationship built on understanding rather than expectation.

Tips to avoid maternal burnout
Perfectionism is not a healthy habit. Even less so when it comes to motherhood, unless you’re keen to rub shoulders with overwhelm, resentment, rage and the feeling of never being satisfied, which can eventually lead to maternal burnout.
