Meet Laura The Mama Behind Milkbar

Hello Milkbar Mamas!

I'm Laura, the Director of Milkbar, and I'm thrilled to share a little about myself with you. I'm engaged to Todd and proud mama to Billy, Taylor, and Jackson. When I'm not busy running Milkbar, you can find me outdoors, surfing, spending time with family and friends, or in our large vege garden trying to grow our own edibles!

 

My life has been full of incredible experiences so far, including achieving a black belt in martial arts, placing first in a national police surf competition, and qualifying as a Detective. But the most rewarding role I've had to date is being a mama to my beautiful children Billy, Tay and Jackson.

 

After nine years as a Police Woman in New Zealand specializing in Child Protection, Search and Rescue and Disaster Victim Identification - I decided to leave my role as a Detective in 2018 to pursue Milkbar full-time. The inspiration for Milkbar came from my own experience as a new mum struggling to find fashionable yet practical clothing for bump and breastfeeding stages. Expressing breast milk was also difficult with noisy pumps that made me feel tethered to the wall.

 

I wanted to make breastfeeding more enjoyable and stress-free for all mums out there by creating stylish yet functional clothing that won't break the bank. Starting this business has been an incredible journey filled with learning opportunities, and reading your reviews fills me with immense satisfaction knowing that we have helped make your breastfeeding journey easier.

 

My goal is to bring you all quality products that are affordable without compromising on style or functionality. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can be challenging but it's also an incredibly rewarding experience that deserves no regrets or what if's. Let us help you look stunning while giving it all you want to give - because you deserve it! ❤️

Xx Laura.
