Customized Toileting Plan > 4 Weeks
Poop struggles are nowhere near a linear experience
“I support overwhelmed moms move from feeling frustrated and exhausted to confident, empowered and connected to their child using methods that feels align with your parenting style”
Let me guide you on how to:
Teach your child how to poop stress-free and with ease
Move away from the constant cycle of poop struggles that impacts the whole family
You’ve been in a cycle of starting and re-starting potty training because it always seems to be a constant battle
Your child has been “pee trained” for 6+ months but they refuse to use the toilet to poop
You’ve heard this is a “phase” and are waiting for your child to get a little but older so that it will pass
You get frustrated with your child because they aren’t pooping on the toilet and you “know” that they can do it
I’m here to tell you that this isn’t just a “phase” that will pass if there is no change - despite everyone telling you that it will…without change, there is no change!
You knew exactly how to support your child, through connection, empowerment and building their confidence to use the toilet stress-free and with ease
You could speak to a trusted professional who knew the exact steps on how to guide you through this journey, that are customized to your child
Your child went pee AND poop independently, without resisting or protesting
You no longer had to scrub dirty underwear, buy pull-ups and stress over what messes would need to be cleaned tomorrow
All without feeling worried about your relationship with your child because you’re always going to be supporting them while learning this new skill
Searching online to find the “true” answers why your child just isn’t pooping on the toilet yet
Asking your friends, family, and other moms how they potty trained their child but you’re still wondering why your child isn’t getting it
Giving your child stool softeners/laxatives/specific foods with hopes you can literally force them to use the toilet
You’ve tried to bribes, rewards, incentives, strong encouragement, big celebrations but nothing seems to work
Feeding your baby, what feels like an extra 5 times last night because they will not settle for longer than 2 hour stretches
You has NO poop drama at your house and it was no longer the main topic with your husband every night after the kids went down
The internet, your friends and family, or neighbour down the road will never be able to give you specific support that is tailored just for your child’s needs.
What works for one child may not work for another. I always say to the families who I support that temperament and personality play a huge role here.
If I’m being honest, there really aren’t any other coaches out there, doing what I do. I use a holistic approach to overcome this hurtle while also nurturing other parts of who they are. Parents have also noticed an improvement in their child’s confidence in MANY ways, through other activities in their lives. It is SO important to me that I offer you support that feels align with you.
I have been working in paediatrics for almost TWO decades, supporting 100’s of families over the years plus I’m a mama too so I understand what you’re going through - truly!!!!
You do NOT have to keep trying to find the answer yourself. I have the one missing piece to your puzzle and I want you to have it
“We used Lauren to help with our 3 year old son when it came to potty training. We had tried 2 other consultants but Lauren was so understanding, completely listened to us, she supported us and we ultimately had a very very positive end result with the plan she gave us. She really is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone struggling with their little ones on this matter- what we achieved with her in the moment felt like we would never get there but we did. Thank you so much Lauren.”
Lucy - Mom of a 3 year old
“Lauren and Nurturing Roots was a total life saver for my family. My daughter struggled with constipation as baby and then started withholding her poop when we potty trained her. We struggled for years, trying every trick in the book. We were at our wits end... and then we found Lauren. She saved us! She was the calm in our storm, patiently listening to our long complicated story and lending me her shoulder to cry on. She never judged us or made me feel silly (I thought I was going crazy)”.
Christy - Mom of a 3 year old
“Lauren has been an absolute GIFT to our daughter & family. We went from withholding for 2 years and trying everything we could to help her get over her fear of pooping/potty. With Lauren’s approaches, our daughter stopped withholding and lost her fear of the potty in just a few weeks! It was truly amazing to witness this new found confidence. It’s been an absolute blessing to have my child happy & comfortable back again. Forever grateful for Lauren’s gentle and effective program”!!!

Hi, I’m Lauren
What sets me apart is my commitment to you. You're not just another client; you're a parent who deserves to feel confident, heard, and understood. Since I have been where you are, I know exactly how you’re feeling and I’ve implemented this exact plan with my own son, who to this day is one of the most severe case I have come across.
I don't just focus on your child; I take a holistic approach that includes supporting you, the parent. Parenting is not a solo act—it takes a supportive community, and I aim to be a valuable part of yours.
Pediatric Consultant, mom of 3 little boys, and your go-to support when navigating the overwhelm and stressful days without having to sacrifice the connection between you and your child or using an approach that doesn’t feel align with your parenting style.
I know what it’s like to be where you are, absolutely exhausted, unsure of what advice to follow, and wondering if you’ll ever make it through this journey alive. Desperate to find answers and find someone who truly understands your struggle.
I have been a Pediatric Developmental Consultant for over 15 years and feel like I have never worked a day in my life. I say that honestly, I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to work with families everyday and watch them flourish.
I was drawn to becoming a Pediatric Sleep and Toileting Consultant because of my own journey into motherhood. Once we ventured into the world of toilet training it didn’t take me long to realize that it was not going to be a linear experience for us but rather quite complex. From there the endless research and training began, now that we are on the other side I want to share my knowledge and experiences with other parents who are feeling the way we once did.
Parents who are ready to leave the poop struggles behind them
Moms who have research the bowels of the internet (no pun intended) and come up with no answers
Moms who are committed to making changes and trusting in the process
Moms who aren’t afraid to ask questions to ensure they access all of my supports
The mom who are done with being frustrated at their child for not being able to work through this
Moms who understand that their child does want to also be on the other side of this journey, they just need a different approach
Use a holistic, supportive approach
Build your child’s confidence and self-esteem
Validate your child’s feeling around pooping
Teach your child how to poop stress-free
Reduce fears around pooping on the toilet
Ensure you feel confident navigating your child’s toileting journey
How It Works
GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
Having a true understanding about what your child is going through will make all the difference when you’re trying to navigate this journey. There are many intricate parts here and it’s important that we don’t leave any out. When you can come alongside your child through empathy and understanding, they will notice.
DRECRESE STRESSORS
These little kiddos who struggle with pooping on the toilet are often highly in tune of their surroundings and emotions. Coming from a good place, we always try to encourage our children but in this situation, we are unknowingly causing them stress. I’m talking about the big celebrations, bribes, incentive charts, rewards and all the things. You’re going to shift away from this and learn how to do the opposite.
SETTING-UP THE ENVIRONMENT
The bathroom can feel like a very scary place to some children, ensuring that this space is as calm and comfortable as possible is key. It’s also important to note their positioning on the toilet, are they safe? are they secure?
LETTING YOUR CHILD TAKE THE LEAD
Your child likely has a very good idea of what they “should” be doing when they have to poop, but are they actually doing this is another story. Real talk for a second - we control everything our children do, their day-to-day schedule, the rules and boundaries that we set, literally everything. They only have control over three things and one of them includes pooping, if you hadn’t guessed. We want to empower them to take full control of this and feel confident in the choices that they make around their toileting habits.
USING A HOLISTIC APPROACH
Just like us, our children need validation - they want to feel heard, seen and understood. When it comes to pooping struggles, it can impact them in more ways than you think. Deep down, they know what they are supposed to do but there is a large barrier holding them back. We will use a holistic approach to build their overall confidence and self-esteem.
