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.

As a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, I deeply understand the emotional journey that families navigate during this precious yet challenging time.

I recognize that returning to work brings about significant adjustments, and I am here to provide not just continuity of care, but also a comforting presence you can rely on. It’s important to me to keep the lines of communication open, ensuring that you feel informed and connected every step of the way. Together, we can make this transition smoother, allowing you to focus on what matters most—your family.

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.

Hello! My name is jabria but I go by Rosalind. It was a nickname given to me in the Army. My background is 12 years of medicine as a medic in the Army. I am still serving in the Army national guard. I have my certified personal training certification and group fitness certification; and I am currently enrolled in exercise physiology through NAU in pursuit of practicing medicine as a physician assistant upon completion of my bachelors and masters. I pursued becoming a doula because I have always been passionate about women’s health. In fact, I took up personal training because I wanted to help women in postpartum combat depression and snap back to theirselves. I witnessed many friends struggle with taking the army physical fitness test and figured there had to be some way to be of some impact for all women who may deal with this, in either their career or daily life. Being a doula is important to me because I believe that women need more support in child birth and labor. I want to be apart of breaking the stigma with childbirth being painful and scary. I want to be apart of making childbirth more comfortable and a beautiful experience for women. I also believe with my expertise that I could offer packages that benefit women physically and mentally pre and post partum.

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.

I am impassioned by providing quality care as a certified (NCS) newborn care specialist. Coupled with my extensive experience, I hold a masters’ degree in human development and a bachelors in child development.

I also have extensive knowledge in developmental delays, and can scope them out very early on as I worked as a developmental therapist for many years. Moreover, I believe care for any human begins in the womb and once a child is born, they most certainly should be given every opportunity to be healthy, happy and loved . My philosophy is the whole child, which includes parental input and coaching . Parental input even for new parents is Paramount.. Lastly, I believe fostering activities that invoke supporting all stages and areas of development is something that begins immediately! ❤️😊

I have spent over 25 years as an infant care RN, mostly in the NICU and am certified as a Low Risk Maternal-Infant care nurse. After some soul-searching about my true career passion, I have discovered that I am the most enthusiastic about helping mamas with breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is often depicted as a simple method of feeding your newborn. It is a natural process, but may not go smoothly at first. It is completely normal to have challenges in the beginning, but with the right kind of support those challenges can be overcome. It’s my goal to be just that right support!

Recent review

I can easily say I would have quit breastfeeding without Jeane's support! She helped me troubleshoot several issues we were having which led to a more comfortable latch and better transfer of milk! We were pros in no time. I can't say enough good things about her! She was professional, knowledgeable, and kind.

My desire is to quietly and gently come alongside parents as you welcome your newborn into your families. I can provide emotional support to assist with the transitions of the postpartum period and having a new baby. Encouragement, a listening ear and practical help in your home will be offered. I’ll hold your baby so that you can bathe and/or rest, be a safe person you can share your concerns with and offer informational support - all in a judgment-free loving manner. A comforting meal, changing your sheets and doing some laundry are a few of the ways I can help you. My hope is that the care I give feels much like a professional grandma or Loli.

Did we hire the real Mary Poppins? It sure felt that way when Lori came to help after our daughter was born. Lori was so kind and considerate and knowledgeable that we had no trouble at all trusting her to take care of our little one in these sleep-deprived early days. Not only did Lori make sure I got the sleep I needed, she also gave us advice and assistance with any questions we had about best practices and ways to soothe our baby when she was having some feeding issues. Lori also cooked and cleaned and organized like magic every day she was here. It helped tremendously to have hot meals to eat and leftovers to heat up when I needed that kind of support. The biggest downside is that once she's there, you'll never want her to leave! I couldn't recommend Lori enough for anyone who needs help with their baby.

A doula will empower and value you, providing confidence and guidance throughout the journey. I believe in the power of prenatal exercises to help balance your body in preparation for birth. These movements not only prepare you physically but will also be incorporated during labor to help your baby move into the optimal position, making the birthing process smoother for both you and your baby, and preparing you for a better recovery postpartum. ​
