Hello everyone, My name is Whitney Holmquist, and I am an Infant Sleep Coach and founder of The Mama Sleep Coach. I’m based in Arizona and work with families nationwide. My passion for infant sleep coaching grew from my own journey with sleepless nights. The relief of finally bringing rest back into our home was truly life changing, and it inspired me to help other parents find that same peace. Through gentle, personalized guidance, I focus on understanding each baby’s unique needs and creating a plan that helps families reach calm, consistent days and 10–12 hour stretches of sleep at night.

When we first reached out to Whitney, we were completely exhausted — running on fumes, anxious, and struggling as new parents with a baby who woke up every hour. We were overwhelmed and desperate for sleep, but more than that, we wanted to do what was best for our baby. From the very first conversation, Whitney came in with warmth, understanding, and expertise that immediately gave us hope. Within the first week of working with her, we started seeing incredible progress. By the end of the month, our baby was sleeping through the night — something we honestly didn’t think was possible. Whitney didn’t just give us a plan; she gave us the tools and confidence to support our baby’s sleep in a way that felt right for us. What truly sets Whitney apart is how deeply passionate and dedicated she is. She’s not just checking boxes — she genuinely cares about helping families reach their goals. Because she’s a mom of three herself, she approaches every situation with empathy, kindness, and real-life understanding. We always felt heard, supported, and guided every step of the way. Our plan was completely customized to our baby’s needs and our family’s comfort level. Whitney recognizes that every baby and family dynamic is different, and she builds a plan that truly fits — no cookie-cutter approach. Working with Whitney didn’t just change our baby’s sleep — it changed our entire family’s quality of life. We’re more rested, less anxious, and finally able to enjoy parenthood without the constant fog of exhaustion. We can’t recommend her enough to any parent who’s struggling with sleep. She is truly the best at what she does.

Our family wanted to express our appreciation for the love you showed Rizzo the first time we brought her in, on the phone with me talking about her terminal cancer, and finally when we had to say goodbye. You gave her scratches and kisses, said nice things to her. Our family really felt your genuine love, and that is important. Please don't ever change. It means more than you know. The whole staff was great, but you stood out. Again, somehow you helped us go through the process of losing our young baby Rizzo, the Aire-doodle.

Hi, I'm Janelle Moore, labor and postpartum doula serving families east and west valley. I entered the world of birthwork early 2023 as a loved one of mine stepped into her motherhood journey. She entered strong, encouraged, prepared, and yet looking for support, a listening ear, advocacy, and someone to lean on in that process. Something inside her knew what I think every mom knows, that every couple deserves support, every couple deserves an advocate, and every couple deserves evidence based education surrounding their options and each decision that they may anticipate to make for their birth and little one in labor and delivery. In supporting her that day a new passion sparked inside me to see every mom supported, held, strengthened and empowered as they shine bringing life into the world. That spark has grown day by day since. I am passionate about evidence based education leading up to birth that will empower parents to make fully informed decisions as are best for their family. I am passionate about supporting first-time parents as they embark on a new journey, and I am passionate that birth should be a beautifully empowering experience in which mom is supported through and through, never alone, discovering in each moment the depth of strength that she's carried all along. If you've landed on this page and would like to learn more please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to an opportunity to meet you, to chat and to hear more of your heart for your birth, little one, and/or postpartum journey.

My husband and I were so glad to have had Janelle's support and guidance through the birth of our daughter. Janelle is very knowledgeable and kind and helped provide us with the information we needed to be able to feel confident in the birth plan we created. Additionally, she has such a kind voice that I knew would be a comfort through labor. My labor started in the evening and we had Janelle meet us at the hospital where she stayed with us all night through my un-medicated birth. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a doula, and we hope to use her services again in the future!

Hello My name is Delores, a certified Labor, Postpartum and Infant care doula with many years of experience in supporting families in their birthing process. Before there was a term for birth workers in this capacity, my love and compassion for comforting and supporting mothers and their newborns was a natural gift from God. I strive to make your birthing process relaxing and memorable by providing evidenced based comforting measures, breathing techniques, and unbiased care before, during and after birth. My main goals is to create a trusting, relaxing, safe space for you to feel empowered and heard while seeking to turn your special moments into meaningful memories.

Recent review

Before Delores became a certified doula, she helped me when my baby was born in a hotel room. I called Delores at about 2 o'clock in the morning. She came to my rescue and helped me with my delivery. I'm sure that experience played a role in her becoming a doula. When we went to the hospital, they were astonished. Delores has always been a women's woman who truly cares for women. Girl power. Delores is amazing! When she asked me to give her a review, I was more than glad to do it.

Collectively, we are able to provide whole-family support through the transformative postpartum period.

Recent review

When we hired Bryn on as a newborn care specialist, we had interviewed many other potential candidates. Many other candidates seemed more interested in how they thought things should be rather than working with us and incorporating our perspectives or preferences. Bryn was open, helpful and ready to offer advice as well as research things that we had questions on. Her top priority was always our daughter's health and wellbeing. She helped us transition from bassinet to crib perfectly. She was able to get us on a sleep schedule with the baby and adapt when a situation presented itself. We could say many more wonderful things, but I will end this by saying that she was an amazing help to our family. Our daughter is doing so well, even as we went into the 4 month sleep regression. I have no doubts that it is because of the foundation that was laid down in those first 3 months.

About Me Hi, I’m Alyssa, and I founded Sonoran Sunrise Newborn Care in 2024 to help families thrive in the weeks after their baby is born. I have been working with children in their homes since 2016, including those with complex behavioral and medical needs, and since 2022 I’ve specialized in caring for infants and toddlers. In 2024 I completed trainings with Newborn Care Solutions and Newborn IQ, and I’m also proud to hold advanced certification from the US Nanny Institute, earned in 2021. I’m continually expanding my education and experience so that I can provide the best care possible. My focus is on coaching parents in newborn care and helping babies establish healthy sleep. I am there to help guide parents and help them feel confident, as well as to support them through overnights so that they can be well-rested.

Alyssa came into my life when I was suffering from severe PPA/PPD. My infant daughter had an incredibly hard first few months of life -- from tongue ties, to reflux, a formula shortage and eventually a feeding aversion. Alyssa was always so patient and gentle with her, on top of being a comforting presence to me as well. She was extremely resourceful and educated in guiding me to make informed decisions about my daughter's health and care. Alyssa is nurturing, soft and extremely detail-oriented. My daughter required quite a bit of specific care, including oral exercises, various medications, etc. She was always diligent and handled my daughter with as much love/delicacy as I would. I truly believe that she not only cared for my daughter, but me as well. As a FTM, I was extremely anxious and uninformed. She never made me feel judged and would go above and beyond if I ever had any specific requests or questions. I extended with Alyssa as much as I possibly could, but unfortunately have to move out of state. Any family who has the opportunity to work with her is insurmountably lucky.

We are so beyond grateful for Shannon and everything she did for our family. From the moment she came into our home, she brought such a calm, supportive energy. She was incredibly gentle and loving with our daughter someone we could trust completely, which gave us so much peace of mind during those early, exhausting nights. Shannon didn’t just care for our baby, she cared for our whole home. She helped tremendously with things like folding laundry, washing bottles and breast pump parts, and stepping in wherever we needed always without hesitation. She never tried to correct us or question our choices, and that made such a difference. We always felt supported, never judged. It truly felt like having an extra heart and pair of hands in the house. Shannon will always hold a special place in our story, and I can’t recommend her enough to any new family looking for kind, trustworthy, and genuinely helpful support during those tender first nights. She’s truly one of a kind.

Erika is the best! She was super knowledgeable and amazing at putting me at ease as a first time mom with all her advice. She made sure I was super well taken care of as well as my newborn.
