Hi, I’m Amanda Carlton! I live in Mesa, Arizona with my husband and our two young boys. I’ve always had two passions: child development and aviation. I earned my degree in Child Development from California State University, Chico, and later pursued a career as a commercial pilot. While they may seem like total opposites, both fields bring out the curious, research-driven side of me—I love understanding how things work, whether it’s the science of aerodynamics or the developmental journey of a child. When I became a mom, I quickly realized how valuable my child development background was—but even with that, I struggled with my first son’s sleep. Frequent night wakings, short naps, and total exhaustion left me feeling lost. We eventually worked with a pediatric sleep consultant, and by night three, my son was sleeping through the night. The transformation was life-changing—we went from surviving to truly thriving. That experience inspired me to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant myself. Now, I have the privilege of helping other families find the peace and rest they deserve. My approach is fully customized—because I know there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to sleep. I tailor each plan to the individual child and family, and I don’t just hand you a plan and disappear. I’m with you every step of the way to guide, support, and adjust as needed—until sleep is no longer a stressor in your home. Let’s get your family from surviving to thriving.

Amanda assisted us in sleep training my now 8 month old baby boy. She was there the whole time answering all my frantic text messages and giving me support when I needed it most. I hit my rock bottom, worn out and sleep deprived navigating these waters but, what made it worth it, was knowing Amanda was by my side. I was worried that we weren't going to get there as he was very persistent and the nursing habit was difficult to break. However, Amanda walked me through it and assured me that it was okay and his protesting will end....and it did. Thank you for the support. I am really glad I reached out as I am now managing my two under two with dad out of town. I couldn't do it without my sleep. Thank you for reminding me what 8 hours of solid sleep can do for you! Highly recommend!

Hi! My name is Stephanie McElhaney and I am a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula located in Mesa, Arizona. I have been fascinated by birth and the magnificence of our bodies since I was a teen. I believe that birth can be beautiful when we prepare our bodies and minds for the experience and have the knowledge to make decisions out of confidence and not fear. In my free time I like to play volleyball, hang out with my kids, and read fantasy books.

Welcome to Grow in Grace Doula Care! I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a wife, new boy mom, and pediatric registered nurse based in Queen Creek, Arizona. With three years of pediatric nursing experience, I have always had a special love for taking care of little ones. My true passion lies in supporting new moms and babies, which is why I fell in love with postpartum doula care after the birth of my son. Having been supported by both labor and postpartum doulas during my birth and recovery, I can honestly say my experience would have been vastly different without their care. I believe birth and postpartum are natural and beautiful events in which every woman should feel empowered and protected. That's why my goal is to provide loving, non-judgmental care to all expecting parents, helping them experience the grace and joy that comes with their new baby! At home, I enjoy a full and joyful life with my husband, son, two dogs, and our rabbit. Outside of my doula work, my perfect day includes reading my Bible while sipping on an iced coffee or matcha, spending time outside in the sun and grass, hanging out with my family, and podcasting!

Karly was such a valuable resource in the postpartum period. I got the opportunity to work with her when my little one was 2 months old and she helped me with feeding concerns, practicing our physical therapy exercises for my little one’s torticolis, and household chores! She was also a great listener and very empathetic when I told her about my complications after birth and how they had affected my mental health. She is such a sweet and knowledgeable person. I would recommend all pregnant mamas, experienced or not, utilizing Karly for postpartum care.

Coming from a background in Early Childhood Education with over 35 years of experience as well as raising 3 sons of my own, I have a true passion for working with and supporting infants, new parents, and the overall family unit.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, traveling, and spending time with my family. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family.
