Restful Nights

Calmer Days

A More Connected Motherhood

Holistic sleep counseling for families who want evidence-based guidance without losing their intuition. Because rest in the early years shouldn’t feel out of reach.

Does this sound familiar?

Your 8-month-old is best described as a “terrible sleeper”—waking every 60–90 minutes, needing to be fed or rocked back or both to get back to sleep each time. By morning, you are feeling exhausted, frustrated, and already starting to dread bedtime.

or maybe…

Your 2-year-old fights bedtime every night. The crying, stalling, and taking over an hour to fall asleep is seriously draining you. When you finaly leave the room you feel defeated and anxious, convinced something is horribly wrong with your child’s sleep.

You start to think that this is just a season…

& it won’t be like this forever…

because this is normal.

Can I tell you something?

This doesn’t HAVE to be your normal!

Newborn days are beautiful—and exhausting. The Newborn Sleep Foundations class gives you clear, practical knowledge and gentle strategies to reduce stress, protect your baby’s safety, and build healthy sleep routines that support your whole family.

Why this class matters now

  • Sleep is different for newborns: Understanding newborn sleep physiology helps you interpret waking patterns, feeding cues, and growth-driven sleep regressions so you respond calmly and confidently instead of guessing or spinning into anxiety.

  • Safety is non-negotiable: Clear guidance on safe sleep environments reduces risk and gives you straightforward, evidence-based actions to protect your baby while you rest.

  • Clarify co-sleeping choices: Many parents struggle to choose ONE sleep space for their newborn at night. This class explains the difference between co-sleeping (room-sharing) and bed-sharing, the safety implications of each, and how to make informed decisions that match your values and circumstances.

  • Nutrition and sleep are linked: Learn how feeding patterns, breastfeeding logistics, and early introduction of solids influence sleep development. Practical advice helps you align feeding with healthy sleep rhythms without feeling pressured to follow rigid “rules.”

  • Build healthy habits from day one: Small, consistent practices in the newborn period set the tone for later months. This class teaches gentle, developmentally appropriate ways to encourage sleep organization that respect your baby’s needs and your parenting style.

What you’ll walk away with

  • A clear, science-informed understanding of newborn sleep stages and why newborns wake frequently

  • Actionable steps to create a safe sleep space at home for naps and nights

  • Practical comparisons of room-sharing vs. bed-sharing, including when each might be safer or riskier, and how to minimize hazards if you choose close sleeping

  • Feeding-to-sleep guidance tailored to breastfeeding and bottle-feeding families, and strategies for supporting healthy feeding-sleep relationships

  • Simple routines and soothing techniques that encourage consolidated sleep over time without harsh methods

  • Confidence to make decisions that match your values, circumstances, and baby’s temperament

Who benefits most

  • New mothers feeling overwhelmed by round-the-clock care

  • Parents wanting evidence-based guidance on sleep safety and infant physiology

  • Families considering co-sleeping or navigating mixed feeding

  • Caregivers who want compassionate, practical tools to establish healthy sleep foundations

Takeaway

Investing a few hours in the Newborn Sleep Foundations class gives you clarity, safety, and practical tools to navigate the newborn period with less fear and more confidence. It’s not about quick fixes—it’s about understanding your baby and building humane, sustainable sleep habits that protect health, bonding, and family wellbeing.

Evidence-Based | Ancestrally Guided |

When I say evidence-based education and ancestrally guided wisdom, I’m talking about the sweet spot where modern developmental science meets the practices that have supported mothers for generations. It’s an approach that honors what research shows while still respecting the intuition, slowness, and connection our bodies and babies naturally crave.

Hi, I’m Gretchen!

Your Holistic Sleep Counselor


I help mothers navigate the first years with a blend of evidence-based education and gentle, ancestrally guided wisdom. My approach isn’t about rigid rules or “perfect” parenting—it’s about support that honors your values, your baby’s unique needs, and your family’s wellbeing.

If you want calm, connection, and realistic solutions (not another overwhelming checklist), you’re in the right place.

I work with mothers who want:

  • Support that feels nurturing, not judgmental

  • A coach who understands the science and the soul of sleep and motherhood

  • Strategies that work without sacrificing your intuition

  • Holistic guidance that considers sleep, feeding, mental health, environment, development and so much more!

  • A partner who meets your family exactly where you are

My work is grounded in my master’s degree in developmental psychology, years of clinical and community mental health experience, and specialized training in birth support, perinatal mental health and holistic sleep.

But more importantly—my work is grounded in compassion. I’m here to help you feel capable, informed, and never alone.
