Loretta Marie Lane is a compassionate and integrative Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with a multifaceted background in pediatric care, holistic health, and mental wellness. With over 13 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist and a certified children’s yoga teacher through Child Light yoga teacher training, Loretta brings a grounded, body-based approach to healing that honors the whole child —mind, body, and spirit.

Before advancing her career as a nurse practitioner, Loretta worked as a registered nurse specializing in the care of children with autism and other neurodivergent profiles. This experience shaped her deep commitment to neurodiversity-affirming care, especially for children who benefit from nontraditional, individualized approaches. She is exceptionally skilled in creating safe, regulated, and empowering environments for children with sensory and emotional needs.

Loretta is currently completing an advanced post-master’s certificate as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to expand her ability to serve children and families struggling with mental and emotional health challenges. Her approach combines the best of pediatric primary care, psychiatric support, and functional holistic medicine. She believes in looking beyond symptoms to explore root causes, including emotional stressors, nutrition, environment, and family dynamics.

Loretta partners closely with families and caregivers, fostering connection and trust. Whether she is integrating mindfulness into a care plan, supporting a child through emotional distress, or addressing complex developmental needs, her work is grounded in empathy, evidence-based practice, and the belief that every child has the potential to thrive.

Working alongside The Flossery, a pediatric and adult dental practice that prioritizes gentle, person-centered care, has further enhanced Loretta’s ability to support families in a collaborative and preventive model. This partnership allows for a truly integrative approach to pediatric wellness, bridging physical, emotional, and oral health in a setting that respects the unique needs of every child.
