Heather Ledgerwood, Integrative Infant Sleep and Well-being Practitioner

Dear mama,

You made it through the newborn trenches. The fog lifted just enough to notice you've been running on fumes for months, and somewhere in there you stopped asking what you need.

Our society has turned away from the mother in favor of the dollar, and it really shows. You were handed a baby and a list of rules, and the care you deserved went to everyone but you.

Surviving was the first season. This is the one where you start to thrive.

Lantern is eight weeks in a circle of mothers, with me beside you the whole way. Rest for you and your baby. Nourishment for yourself. Calm through nervous system awareness. Not a schedule to follow, a life to grow into.

We open with a ceremony and we close with one. Everything in between is yours.

With love, Heather

Three threads, one journey

Rest. Nourishment. Calm.

Lantern is the whole picture: your baby's sleep, your body, and the nervous system that holds you both.

Rest

Biologically normal infant sleep, and where rest still lives inside it, for you and your baby.

Nourishment

A maternal nutrition and well-being plan, and how your baby's nourishment shapes their sleep.

Calm

Nervous system attunement, the relational and energetic piece, and a journal and meditation guide to keep.

The arc

Eight weeks, in order.

We meet once a week, Thursdays at 10 AM PT.

  1. Opening ceremony, maternal deep dive, and goal/priority addressing
  2. Maternal nutrition and nervous system attunement
  3. Maternal well-being deep dive: rest, recovery, and matrescence
  4. Infant & toddler nourishment and how it impacts sleep
  5. Biologically normal infant sleep pt. 1
  6. Biologically normal infant sleep pt. 2
  7. The relational and energetic component
  8. Integration and closing ceremony

Is Lantern for me?

For the mother who is done surviving.

Lantern is for you if…

  • You survived the newborn trenches and you're ready to thrive.
  • You want the whole picture, sleep and nourishment and your own nervous system, not one more sleep tip.
  • You want a circle that knows your name, and a guide who answers on WhatsApp between weeks.
  • You can hold one Thursday a week for eight weeks, baby welcome.

It may not be the right fit if…

  • You need help this week, not in January. Fireside is two weeks of 1:1 support and starts when you do.
  • You're still in the newborn season. Ember is built for it.
  • You want a method that acts as a "quick fix."

Eight weeks, a circle of mothers, and me beside you.

Questions

Questions you might have

When do we meet?

Thursdays at 10 AM PT, for eight weeks starting Thursday, January 14, 2027.

Can I bring my baby?

Please do. Babies are always welcome, on your lap, at the breast, or asleep on your chest.

Is it recorded? What if I miss a week?

Yes. The recordings will be uploaded within 48 hours.

Is this really different from cry-it-out?

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.

Money is tight right now. Should I wait?

Please don't stretch past what's kind to your family. Lantern runs every season.

If you want support now, there are other paths: a Kindling Call is free, a Candlelight Chat is one conversation for $200, and Fireside is two weeks of 1:1 for $550.

What happens after I pay?

You'll get a welcome email with your intake form and what happens next. Once your intake is in, I read it closely, and you'll get the calendar invites with the Meet link for every Thursday before we begin.

Scheduling and cancellation details are in the Terms of Service.

When the mother heals, her baby thrives.

Eight weeks. A circle of mothers. A ceremony at each end, and a life to grow into between them.
