About Kathy

As a Registered Nurse, Certified Sleep Consultant and Certified Postpartum Doula with more than 23 years of full -time night experience, my goal is creating confident parents. Caring for more than 250 newborns has given me a wealth of experience in transitional care of babies into family life. This is accomplished by establishing successful feed/sleep routines, teaching calming techniques and answering the myriad questions that would be in a manual if babies came with one. This enables everyone to get much needed rest much sooner than is typically experienced in this scenario. As a Certified Sleep Consultant, also known as "The Sleep Angel" I also assist families who have not had the benefit of my guidance from the beginning of life with their baby. Tackling issues of sleep disturbance/interruption in older infants/toddlers with gentle, supportive techniques results in peace in the home environment that only sleep can provide. I look forward to meeting and working with you and your little one!

What to expect

I have 23+ years of experience in the care of newborns and infants specializing in establishing gentle, supportive feed/sleep routines. This enables parents and infants to get the rest they all desperately need while the many needs of the baby can be met and everyone is getting to know one another. Consistency of approach by all care givers is very important as babies respond extremely well to predictability and the security it provides. This also allows patterns to develop which assist the baby to move between feed and sleep cycles as they develop. It makes sleep rhythms much easier to establish.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Kathy. She has been our sleep coach for both of our children, and her experience, wisdom, and calm presence made all the difference. She truly is a baby whisperer. What we appreciated most was how she met us exactly where we were as parents. She never offered a one-size-fits-all approach—instead, she listened, understood our family's needs, and provided thoughtful, practical guidance with a lot patience and kindness. She's incredibly gracious, insightful, and genuinely cares about the families she works with. We always felt supported, encouraged, and confident knowing she was in our corner. We're so grateful for everything she did for our family and recommend to parents looking for compassionate, expert sleep support.

We greatly enjoyed and appreciate our time with Kathy. She was gentle with us in a time of great stress and very little sleep. She affirms our parenting and many many attempts at supporting our little guy to independent sleep. After 2.5 years, he finally slept through the night for the first time and we have been seeing such great success since. Bedtime is no longer a 2 hour battle, and he more often than not sleeps through the night. It was so comforting having Kathy check in weekly and even still occasionally. When our toddler goes through sleep rough patches we have a solid foundation to move us through. Very grateful for her support and resource.

My brother and sister-in-law had gifted us Kathy's sleep consulting services for our daughter. It has been absolutely amazing so far! The service covers an initial interview / assessment and then from there, Kathy provides several plans based on the infant's specific sleep training needs. She has been very responsive through text and is readily available to troubleshoot any sleeping issues. The solutions she has provided based on her years of extensive experience have for the most part worked with our daughter. Additionally, as first time parents, we really appreciated having an expert who we could reach out to at any point of the day or night. Very thankful for Kathy's help and would recommend her to anyone!
