Hey, I’m Heather.
If you made it this far, I know you are a tired mom that just needs answers. No more BS that just makes you feel like a bad mom or like you are missing out on the secret puzzle piece everyone on social media seems to have. Sleep training sounds like a nightmare and leaving your child to cry turns your stomach.
Did I guess pretty close?
That’s because I’ve been there.
My first daughter was a VIP member of the Anti-Sleep Club. I lost more hair from stress than I did from being postpartum and stringing together a coherent thought was a ridiculous notion meant for past me.
Around 8 months in, I decided enough was enough. I obtained my first sleep certification! I was so jazzed that I would be able to help other moms get over the hurdles of sleep deprivation…but I was wrong. Well, sleep consulting (aka sleep training) was wrong for me.
Until
I dived into the world of attachment. I now have multiple certifications under my belt that focus on the whole child and family, rather than quick fix band aides. I fell in love with attachment and child development and I want to use that passion to help families (like yours) find realistic answers.
I am NOT a sleep trainer. I am a coach that helps educate families on what they are experiencing, why it is normal (or not), and how to fit the pieces together.
Sleep is a journey.
Sleep looks different for everyone and changes through each stage of life. I think that by approaching sleep in small steps, rather than fighting upstream, we honor the whole child. Not just quick fix solutions that have a shelf life.
Your baby is growing into their normal and generic just won’t cut it. You are healing from the draining months that were pregnancy, your birth experience, and more.
Sleep doesn’t need to be stressful and it isn’t one plan sleeps all. Sleep isn’t an elusive creature, nor does it need to be the reason for our broken nightmares.
Let’s change your view on sleep so that: you sleep better, have the confidence to trust your instincts, and march to your family’s natural rhythm.

Did you know a HUGE piece of the sleep puzzle rests in the world of child development? Helping you understand how attachment plays a role in sleep is part of why I do what I do. What can I say? I’m a developmental psychology nerd.
