About
I’m
Laura.
A Registered Occupational Therapist dedicated to supporting, guiding and empowering women to return to themselves throughout the many seasons of their lives.
Welcome to The Held Space. My journey into Occupational Therapy began at the University of Manitoba, where I was drawn to the profession’s unique ability to blend the art of daily living and connection with science, psychology, and holistic wellness.
After completing my Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) in 2017, I gained invaluable experience working with people across the lifespan. These years allowed me to hone a deep understanding of how our well-being is shaped by our nervous system, our connection to self and others, our environments, and our unique life experiences. Having the opportunity to hold space for every client and family I’ve supported has been a profound privilege.
A Holistic Evolution
Where it
began.
The birth of my first son in 2020 sparked what became my vision for my first private practice, Motherhood Holistic. This transformative time in my own matrescence journey highlighted a profound need for intentional, holistic support for mothers - a safe space to be held during tender times of transition, growth, and evolution.
“This is your soft and safe space to land; a place to be seen, heard, and held, wherever you are on your journey.”
What began as a focus on maternal health has evolved into The Held Space - a practice rooted in honoring that need for all women.
Beyond the Practice
Where I
replenish.
When I’m not supporting my clients, you’ll find me replenishing my own system - spending time with my husband and three beautiful children, finding quiet moments in nature, reading, practicing yoga, out for a long walk, or catching up with friends. I am always seeking the same intentionality I share with my clients.
I am honored to hold space for you.
Whether you are navigating a major life transition, needing guidance returning to yourself, or seeking a more regulated, intentional way of being - I am here to walk alongside you.
