Ember · Support for the newborn season
Ember is for the pregnant mama and the brand-new one. A written guide to the newborn season, an hour with me, a short video series on sleep in the earliest weeks, and a follow-up when the dust settles. Everything I wish someone had put in one place for me.
Dear mama,
It started when my first was born. She was awe-inspiring. The instant euphoria was palpable, and I thought that rush would last forever. It lasted for about two weeks.
No one prepared us for the constant ups and downs, not really. They tell you "back is best," but also "breast is best." They tell you babies eat every three hours, but they don't mention that's an average maximum. I remember getting nipple balm as a baby shower gift, but when it came to cluster feeding, it wasn't a paste I needed. It wasn't a pump or even a bottle of formula.
It was support.
Ember is that support, put in one place. What's normal and what isn't. Safe sleep without the fear. The few things you'll actually need. An hour with someone who has read the research and lived the nights. And a reminder, in writing, that you are doing this right.
With love, Heather
Is Ember for me?
What you receive
As a newborn care specialist, I know how much comfort there is in having this information in one space.
A document covering the newborn season, yours to keep and reread at 3 AM.
An hour for you: your questions, your baby, your body. Partners are welcome on the call. Use it any time before your baby is 4 months old, once you have been through the guide and the videos.
Watch them in the rocking chair, in pieces, whenever you have ten minutes.
A check-in once you've had time to settle in, so the hour doesn't end when the call does.
The guide and videos are waiting for you, and we book your hour whenever you want it, before birth or after.
You'll have the guide right away, and we find an hour by 4 months.

Newborn must-haves, normal vs. red flags, safe sleep 101, and general reassurances. As a newborn care specialist, I know how much comfort there is in having this information in one space.
Yes! As a certified child nutritionist, I'm passionate about protecting breastfeeding relationships. I never push early weaning. We can absolutely improve sleep while maintaining night feeds as long as you and baby need them. Your feeding journey is respected and protected.
Absolutely! Partners are welcome on any and all calls. Having everyone on the same page makes implementation so much smoother.
Absolutely. Cry-it-out methods rely on leaving your baby alone to "self-soothe." My approach never asks you to ignore your baby's cries. Instead, we work WITH your baby's natural biology and attachment needs, gradually building independent sleep skills while you remain a responsive, supportive presence.
Please don't stretch past what's kind to your family.
If you want support now, there are other paths: Encircled is $47 and welcomes newborns, and a Kindling Call is free.
