Leanne Shapiro has a Masters Degree in Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University and is a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. In her over 20-year career as a Social Worker, Leanne has provided support and counselling to children, youth, and adults facing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, coping with illness, and stress management.
Leanne has been passionate about supporting parents through the perinatal journey since becoming a mom herself. The struggles she faced during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum opened her eyes to the lack of support for and awareness of the needs of emerging parents. Leanne strives to provide compassionate support to individuals on their parenting journey by offering a space where you can feel safe, validated, and listened to while sharing your personal challenges. In addition to her lived experience, Leanne has specialized perinatal and mental health training. She especially enjoys helping mothers develop the understanding and mindset that caring for yourself is the best way to care for your baby and your family!
Leanne is excited and proud to be part of The WOMB Vaughan village where she sees the value in caring for every member of the family holistically, knowing how strongly physical and mental health are connected.

This package is for those interested in learning how to nurture healthy sleep habits from the very start. At this stage, your baby will not sleep through the night as they require night feedings. This package does not provide any sort of rigid schedule and is educational in nature. Infants and children will continue to need assistance at night, and that is developmentally appropriate. This is about optimizing sleep, not preventing the child from calling for assistance when needed. The focus is on attachment, bonding, and emotional wellbeing while understanding that though we can optimize sleep, it is still within an age appropriate framework and realistic expectation is of utmost importance. This is a holistic, no sleep training approach. As such, we do not promote "cry it out" techniques, separation based techniques, premature withdrawal of comfort, controlled comfort or the premature cessation of night feeds. The package includes: Includes: - 60 minute intro call to address questions and provide sleep education for 0-4 months - 2 x 30 minute follow up calls - Personalized recommendations for the family
Please choose this appointment for babies 0-4 months. This will include an intake analysis, a 1 hour sleep education call, and one 20-30 minute video call check in to be used anytime in the two weeks following the sleep education call.
60 minute follow-up Occupational Therapy session to work on goals and treatment plan established in the initial assessment or ongoing therapy sessions.
