I’m Nicole Laws — a patient advocate,
mentor, and speaker.
I support women and families navigating complex systems while challenging healthcare and education systems to listen, respond, and change in ways that honor the patient first.
I center patient voices —
and hold systems accountable for how they respond.
Empowerment and advocacy for women and families navigating healthcare, education, and life.
Empowerment illuminates the path to advocacy. Accountability is what drives meaningful change.
Why I Do This Work
My work is rooted in lived experience — not as a personal story alone, but as insight
into how systems succeed or fail the people they are meant to serve.
After years of navigating medical and educational systems for myself and my children, I saw how easily communication breaks down — leaving families unheard, dismissed,
or forced to advocate without adequate support. I learned firsthand
that advocacy isn’t instinct. It’s a skill.
What began as survival became purpose.
Today, I help women and families find their voice while pushing systems to change
how they listen, communicate, and make decisions
that directly affect patient lives.
My advocacy centers the lived experiences of women and families — their voices, their concerns, and the harm that occurs when systems fail to listen.
When I work with healthcare and education systems, I do so with firmness, honesty, and respect — using patient stories to illuminate where change is needed and how collaboration can lead to better outcomes.
I am apologetically patient - first.
Advocacy and accountability are not opposites.
They are the pathway to lasting change.

Advocacy is serious work but those
behind the work are human too.
