Laura Camerona

A Certified Child Life Specialist in the hospital for 15 years, Laura has built her career around helping children cope during stressful experiences. Laura has a unique range of knowledge and experience. She has experience working with children with a large variety of health problems and has an understanding of the hospital system and children's common questions. In addition, Laura has helped support children with loved one's in the CCU, the cancer center, the NICU and the maternity center.

Laura is a mom of three children herself. She has a real understanding of how busy life can be. She knows that we all want to support our children through their challenges, but time flies and best intentions sometimes don't get fulfilled. She hopes that her books help families develop a vocabulary and common knowledge, that will lead to more meaningful conversations in the car or at the dinner table. While Laura enjoys working directly with children, she has found that by giving caretakers the words to explain she can strengthen the family unit and set them up to get through hard things together.

Laura continues to create additional resources for children and families. In addition, Laura has founded a unique business that creates customized children's books about a loved one who has died or about a diagnosis or stressful event that the family is experiencing.
