About Laura
Meet Laura Rohnert Simmons
With over 25 years of experience in pediatric physical therapy, Laura has dedicated her work to infant well-being and the families who love them. Her journey includes leading pediatric institutions such as Children's Hospital Los Angeles and Children's Memorial Hospital (now Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago), where she specialized in supporting medically complex and fragile infants and partnering closely with their parents.
Caring for premature and critically ill infants sparked Laura's interest in prenatal and perinatal psychology. She wanted deeper insight into how early experiences shape the developing brain and nervous system, so she could support babies and protect their earliest development.
Today, Laura's work is grounded in her pediatric PT background and shaped by a holistic lens. She integrates craniosacral work, myofascial release, and Reiki, and she carefully observes movement patterns as a baby's body language, which can reflect prenatal and birth experiences.
She founded LRS Beginnings to bring this support directly to families, combining clinical expertise with deep listening, respect for each baby and family, and compassionate support.

Common Questions
What age do you work with?
Babies are our specialty, and we see babies from birth through the first year and beyond. We also work with children of any age when there is value in exploring how prenatal or birth experiences may be showing up in their bodies or development now. It is never too late to address early imprints.
Do I need a prescription or referral to work with you?
No. You do not need a prescription, referral, or diagnosis to book any of our services. If something feels off, or if you simply want to give your baby the most supported start possible, you are welcome to reach out directly.
