Meet Our Founder

Hi, I’m Hayley Bennison-Lyons, a Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over ten-thousand hours of clinical experience, a Certified Sleep Specialist, an Instructor at Mohawk College and a Birth and Postnatal Doula. Oh, and I’m about to be a Mom.

Wow, that’s a mouthful.

But it means that I believe there’s nothing more important than a holistic approach to well-being and the need to share with parents in a way that allows them to make the best decisions for their children. I created The Wholechild Company to support individual feeding + sleep goals in a supportive and understanding environment, where we trust Mother’s instincts, follow babies’ cues and support natural development while building lasting connections.

Because every parent deserves the knowledge + expertise to make the very best decisions for their children. Every. Single. One.

What We Believe

As the first of its kind in Canada, The Wholechild Company was built to find a holistic approach to infant well-being by harnessing the power of feeding + sleep in a way that supports healthy development, puts trust in a mother’s instinct and relies on babies’ cues. We intend to educate, equip and instill confidence in parents that builds lasting connections with their children.

Our feeding + sleep appointments may be booked separately, but our approach always considers the whole child.
