Laura is a neurodivergent health educator, independent Nurse & Sleep Consultant, and author dedicated to reshaping how self-care is supported within neurodivergent and disabled communities. Their work centres on accessible approaches to food and eating, sleep, hygiene and toileting. Laura does this through direct support for individuals and families, as well as through workshops and educational events for both professionals and community members. They are also a Patron for Autistic Inclusive Meets (AIM) and member of the Autistic Burnout Network (ABN). Drawing from lived experience and public health service, Laura creates inclusive spaces, hosts community events, and co-authors books like Gabby’s Glimmers, Creating Safe Spaces for Autistic People, and is soon publishing a parent-focused series beginning with toileting and followed by hygiene.
