Meet Natalie

Natalie, mother to three young children, knows and understands the emotional ups and downs that can come with having a baby, and how sleep deprivation can make life seem unmanageable.

After having her first child Connor (2012), Natalie struggled with some difficult months following the birth of her son. Having consistent routines and a sleep schedule that helped her son sleep through the night early on was one of the only ways she survived those months.

Natalie started helping friends who reached out for infant sleep advice only to find they were having the same success.

It became her passion to work with families – together developing sustainable routines and schedules aligned with each parenting style, while meeting the unique needs of these babies – universally and perhaps most importantly, the need for sleep! Natalie and her husband Danny welcomed daughters Kate (2014) and Makenna (2017) and as their family grew so did Natalie’s devotion to helping families adjust to life with new babies. Natalie is currently working on her Postpartum Doula certification through DONA International where she has already undergone extensive training to work with families during the perinatal period.

Meet Megan

Meet Brynne

An elementary school teacher by trade, Brynn knows firsthand what an incredible asset healthy sleep is for young kiddos.

She has experienced the joy and attentiveness of well-rested children, and seen how debilitating lack of sleep can be for little bodies. She knows that research shows incredible benefits for families who have great sleep habits. She knows that sleep is a life-long skill to learn, and that kiddos need time and space to accomplish this milestone.

However, Brynn also knows firsthand how scary the idea of “sleep training” can be for new parents. When her first-born’s healthy sleep habits flew out the window with his reflux and four month sleep regression, she feared traditional “crying it out” methods and knew there had to be a way to teach a little one to sleep in a gentle way for both babies AND parents. Two kiddos and years of experience later, Brynn brings to each family she works with a Master’s Degree in Education, a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and Psychology, and a world’s worth of passion for making families healthier with the rest they ALL need and deserve.

As a certified sleep consultant and mama of two well-rested and joyful babes, Brynn’s ultimate goal is to educate families on the health effects of good sleep for the entire household (research has so much to share!). She is here to be the support system and reassurance we all need when leading our children into the wonderful world of rest!
