Lauren is a Sleep Practitioner and Registered Nurse with over four years experience in the hospital setting, supporting people in their most vulnerable moments as they undergo coronary care, cardiac and vascular procedures. Lauren is the calm and capable expert you need by your side when navigating life’s ups and downs.

Lauren became a parent in 2024, and has one baby boy. After running into difficulties with her son’s sleep, Lauren discovered the Sombelle Paediatric Sleep Clinic Programs and had great success in implementing the approaches. After learning how debilitating sleep deprivation is and how life changing it can be when the whole family is sleeping well, Lauren decided to further her education and begin to train as a sleep practitioner so she can bring this relief to other families.

Lauren is completing her sleep practitioner certifications and is excelling in her observations, assessments, and supervision sessions carried out with Dr Fallon and Dr Laura. When families see Lauren in the clinic they’re also indirectly getting the expertise of Dr Fallon and Dr Laura who provide close supervision to our team of sleep practitioners.
