“For parents of littles, slow down and include them. Kids want SO much to be a part of things and to feel important. So what if they make a little mess or things aren’t perfect? They do learn pretty fast if you give them the opportunity.”

Laura Vanston is a pediatric nurse practitioner, holistic mom, and entrepreneur. She moved to Colorado 10 years ago and hasn’t regretted it for even one minute. She started Inspire Pediatrics (a concierge and integrative pediatric practice) to help families find the peace of mind they can’t experience in the traditional healthcare system. Laura is passionate about learning and building community, particularly community for moms in business. As a family, the Vanstons love cooking, escaping to the mountains, and bringing people together at local hangout spots like The Den and Table Public House.
