Gentle Sleep

Congrats! New parents understandably worry about their baby's sleep (as well as their own!). A healthy sleep foundation is important for so many areas of newborn and parent health. I support families with a gentle, holistic approach that is NOT cry-it-out. Mamas also can work with me during pregnancy to help with their own insomnia. I provide teaching in the 5 S's and support for optimizing sleep during the 4th trimester for the whole family.

Hour-long sessions starting at $95, packages ranging from $250-$800. Services provided virtually across the world, or in person in the Metro-Detroit area.

About The Holistic Parenting and Sleep Center

Bio

Congrats on your little one! I am a certified Holistic Sleep Consultant and parenting coach. I specialize in helping families get better sleep without crying it out. I provide sleep support to pregnant women struggling with insomnia, as well as children ages birth-7 years. I am a passionate advocate for support in parenthood as well as in perinatal mental health. I am to help your transition to parenthood, feel celebrated in your new role, and also get the rest you and your family deserve.

Q&A

What drew you into working with parents-to-be?

When I was training to be a therapist I was fascinated by how Post Partum Depression affected the mom/baby dyad. I spent years working with moms and babies. After having my own children and seeing the toll sleep deprivation took on my mental health, I decided to become a certified sleep consultant.

What are your certifications and trainings?

I have a BA in psychology and a MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling Psychology. I am a licensed creative arts therapist in NY state. I have certifications in the Holistic Science of Sleep, The Happiest Baby on the Block, and in perinatal mental health from Postpartum Support International.

What locations or areas do you serve?

I work anywhere! Virtual services allow me to serve clients anywhere in the world.

How much experience do you have?

I graduated with my BA in 2002 and my MA in 2005. I have been working with clients in some capacity since 2001. I was a practicing therapist for 10-ish years before becoming a sleep consultant 6 years ago.

What's your top piece of advice for an expectant mom?

Do what you can to build your village before your baby is born. This will help relieve some stress about what life with a new little human will be like! Be proactive about sleep and work with a consultant to build a healthy foundation right from the start. This will take away so much stress and many of the sleepless nights.
