About Gretchen

Welcome! My name is Gretchen, and I am a parenting coach and certified sleep counselor with a master's degree in developmental psychology. My favorite job of all though is being a mom to my two sweet boys and teaching them everything I know about baking and art! I love helping mothers nurture calm, connected relationships with their babies and toddlers through gentle wisdom, firm boundaries, and evidence-based support through the early years. I believe that simple, subtle change is often make the biggest impacts in parenting and sleep. Through guidance, advocacy, and unwavering support, I’ll empower you to trust yourself, navigate change with confidence, and step into your natural strengths as a mother. -Gretchen
