About Amanda

Hello, my name is Amanda Hercules, I am a certified international pediatric sleep coach. I am also a foster parent here in the state of Washington. I have been working in childcare since I was 18. As a nanny, a household manager, a nanny share, and a tutor. I have a lot of experience with multiples and with multiple children in the house. In 2019 I got certified as a postpartum doula and began working with local families in their postpartum stage. I was primarily a night doula, and this paired with my years-long work in childcare I learned a lot about sleep. In 2024 I was certified an international pediatric sleep coach, and I am excited to help families on this journey. I am here to provide you with facts and support. I will never judge or pressure you to do anything. I like to lay all the options out with parents and together choose a method or combination of methods that works for your family! Please reach out to me with any questions you might have. AmandaHercules.com

Sleep Coach services

Hello, I am currently offering consultations, coaching, guides, and classes. Consultations: These are normally about an hour long via ZOOM. We discuss healthy sleep norms, sleeping windows, sleeping spaces, the science behind sleep, a bit, and so much more. We also talk about how light, sounds, and feedings play a part in sleep. You can ask any questions as we go, and if you would like, I can create an ideal sleep schedule for your family. Right now, my consultations only go to 12-month-olds. Coaching: This is where I would essentially coach you on how to sleep-train your child. In the manner that you choose. We will go over current sleep issues and see where we need improvement, and then you will complete a sleep diary. Then I will use that and our previous talks to form a sleep plan for your child. I will call you, and we will go over it in detail. This call can last up to 90 minutes. Then you will have a very straightforward plan for sleep. You can then choose the level of support you would need from me in the future. Guides: These are digital guides you can buy and use to create your own sleep plan or ideal nap schedule. Right now, I only have a newborn guide listed. I am working on 5 months – 12 months, and soon that will be added. Classes: The same thing you would get in a coaching call, broken down into tiny lessons. I love the classes; I think it is a great amount of information for a fraction of the cost!
