Find a Sleep Coach Near Me in Virginia

Hello! I'm a Certified Postpartum doula and newborn care specialist in the Richmond Virginia area specializing in overnight care! I've been a doula now for 7 years and before that was a professional career nanny for over 20 years. I love helping families navigate the 4th trimester by allowing the household to get much needed rest while I take care of baby(ies.) I offer extensive experience with twins and triplets, lactation educator to help with breastfeeding support, and culturally competent evidence based care!

"I wish I knew about this sooner!" I hear this phrase frequently by newer parents. A s a Doula, I provide more than ice chips and a hand to crush during labor. I specialize in perinatal anxiety & mood disorders (PMAD) and provide education, resources, and support for those who think they may, or are already experiencing PMAD's. This transition is hard. It's not just welcoming home a new baby, it's radically accepting a new identity, a new routine, a new personality of yourselves. Theres no reason to have to struggle through alone thinking something is wrong with you. This is very common. I'd love to help you adjust in the ways that matter; relevant education, real-life local resources, and hands-on support.

Hi a Postpartum Doula and have been serving families in Hampton Roads since 2016. I am a homeschooling mama of 4. I found that I loved support mothers postpartum.

Hey there! I'm Jenn Carlson, your friendly neighborhood doula! I call Springfield, VA home, where I live with my husband, Eddie—a rock musician who moonlights as a film critic. (Or maybe it’s the other way around? Either way, there's a lot of passionate reviews in my house!). I spent over two decades as an IT pro and a stage manager before diving headfirst into my most exciting production: raising two amazing daughters. Both of their births were high-drama—think less "rom-com" and more "medical thriller." But those experiences sparked a fire in me to help other women feel empowered during labor, and thus began my journey as a doula. Since 2013, I've been lucky enough to attend over 700 births and help nearly 300 new moms recover through the magical art of placenta encapsulation (yes, it’s a thing and it’s awesome). I'm a CBI and DONA Trained, Madriella Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, a Childbirth Educator, an AHA Infant and Pediatric First Aid and CPR instructor, a certified Reiki practitioner, and a placenta encapsulation specialist. Whew, that’s a mouthful! My goal? To be whatever my clients need. Natural-minded or more into the medical approach, I’m here to make sure you have the birth experience you want—with all the options on the table. My definition of a successful birth? One where the mom feels respected, empowered, and ready to write her own birth story, no matter how her baby arrives. Because education is key, I teach breastfeeding, infant CPR, newborn care, and childbirth classes. I've got experience with Bradley and Hypnobirthing techniques, and I bring along my trusty rebozo and TENS unit to help families through labor. I also have special training to support moms who have experienced trauma or loss, and a big, soft spot for high-risk mothers like me who need to know they have options. So whether you’re looking for a bit of guidance, a lot of support, or just someone to laugh with while you figure it all out—I’m here for you!

Hello, my name is Brooke Walke. After 10 years as a professional nanny, I have chosen to focus on infant and parent care in the Postpartum Doula world. I have worked with all kinds of families and pride myself on my ability to mold to fit the needs of each individual family. I strongly believe that having a village is important so my goal is to provide that village for those that may not have it. I was born and raised in the Hampton Roads area, known for its strong military presence, so I’m well versed on how so many families lack that family village due to distance.

I’m Chantel Spinner, a certified birth and postpartum doula, lactation support counselor, Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) advocate, and support group facilitator proudly serving Lynchburg, Virginia, and surrounding areas. A Lynchburg native, wife, and mother of two incredible daughters, I bring not only professional training but lived experience and deep roots in this community. I hold a degree in Sociology with minors in Human Services and Gender Studies from Randolph College, and I am also a Notary Public for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Supporting pregnant individuals is more than my profession. It is my calling. As a strong advocate for reproductive justice, I am committed to creating safe, empowering spaces where bodily autonomy is respected, voices are amplified, and compassionate care is the standard. Witnessing the stark disparities in maternal health, particularly the alarming maternal mortality rates among Black women, fueled my decision to become a doula and deepen my advocacy. Through The Melanin Fluent Doula agency, I offer culturally fluent, holistic support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum journey. My services are designed to nurture, empower, and educate families as they navigate one of the most profound transitions of their lives. Beyond birthwork, I am a certified peristeam facilitator trained through Steamy Chick, following my own positive experiences with vaginal steaming for menstrual wellness. In 2021, I earned certification as a lactation support counselor, with a focus on bridging gaps in breastfeeding support for Black families and fostering a more inclusive, informed community. I am also a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Advocate, dedicated to providing compassionate, affirming support for individuals and families navigating grief and loss, an area of care that is deeply needed and too often overlooked. As a support group facilitator, I create intentional, trauma-informed spaces where participants are encouraged to share openly, build community, and move from isolation toward connection and strength. Currently, I am expanding my knowledge as an amateur herbalist, reconnecting with the healing traditions of my Black Southern heritage and grounding my practice in holistic wellness. I may not be able to change every outcome, but I believe deeply in my ability to make a meaningful impact in my community, one birth, one family, and one moment at a time.

I'm a PPD and NCS in the Alexandria,Va area

My name is Asia, I am a local certified postpartum doula. I provide in home overnight support to families of newborns, focusing on postpartum transition, rest, recovery and newborn care. I also offer light housework such as laundry and dishes. My goal is to provide some relief to the challenges that come with being a new parent.

Hi, my name is Autumn! As a postpartum doula it is my honor to take care of you during your postpartum period. It is my goal that every mother have a smooth transition whether you are a new mom or a mom of more than one child. I am a mother to three wonderful children ages 4,2, and 10 months. After the birth of my first child I sat there in the hospital bed thinking, "what now? what do I do with this baby?" It was a terrible feeling, and in that moment I had never felt more alone. Shortly after I developed postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression. These feelings were really challenging to deal with and taught me that it is important to seek postpartum support early on. I want other people to know that they do not have to go through the postpartum period alone, I will be there every step of the way. I look forward to getting to know you! ​

Hi I'm Manae and I attend Radford University as a speech therapy major. I would love to become a Nanny for your family as I have my CPR certification and own transportation. I will have open availability starting May 10 from the hours of 7am-7pm Monday - Friday. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns :)

I am a postpartum doula certified through DONA International, a lactation consultant trained through The Healthy Children Project, and a Ayurvedic masseur certified through The California College or Ayurveda. I’m a personal chef that specializes in postpartum nutrition and have a catalogue of frozen stews, broths and soups to choose from if you need inspiration for your meal planning. I meet prenatally to help organize the home, nursery and any other members of the support team. (Outlining responsibilities and expectations is work that is best done in advance.) I provide a newborn care class and a lactation class as well as meal prep for soups, stews and broths to be frozen. I always encourage my clients to try to book me for a visit right after the birth while in the hospital for lactation support and a modified version of my Ayurvedic massage. Once the family is home I cook nourishing foods rich in iron, protein, collagen, micro and macro nutrients to aid in recovery from depletion and help speed healing. (I also have a Postpartum Soup Bundle that can be purchased ahead of time.) I do dishes, laundry and of course provide even more lactation support. I can also simply care for the newborn while parents sleep. After the first few weeks the focus tends to shift into finding a daily rhythm, newborn care techniques and education on developmentally appropriate sleep habits for the baby. I also help parents with planning childcare help. I can be a sleep consultant one day and provide a massage the next. Maybe I play with the older children while mama naps with the newborn. Sometimes the work is just to sit and talk about all the things that the parents are struggling with. My job and my life’s joy is to simply be an extra set of hands or a sympathetic ear to new parents.

Hi! I'm Candice, a trained and experienced Newborn Care Specialist. I am also CPR/First Aid certified. I support families with newborn routines, safe sleep, feeding schedules, bathing, soothing techniques and postpartum support. As a mother of four, I understand how important it is to have someone calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable in your home. In my free time I enjoy being near the water and learning about others. And my main goal is to create a peaceful judgment- free environment where babies and families can thrive.

I'm Megan Robert (row-BERT), an Infant & Toddler Sleep Consultant and owner of After the Stork. My background as a former Postpartum Doula, Au Pair, and Nanny has provided me with a well-rounded perspective on family dynamics and child development. This experience allows me to focus on both the practical aspects of infant care and the emotional journey of parenthood. While it's incredibly rewarding to see a child achieve quality sleep and its benefits, the most fulfilling part of my work is witnessing the transformation of a parent. I often meet individuals during some of the most raw and vulnerable times in their lives, filled with anxiety and self-doubt. I am privileged to be welcomed into a family at such a time and often witnessing the growth of confidence and assurance. Recognizing that my clients are people with identities beyond parenting, I also aim to support and encourage them as whole individuals. It’s a bonus when my services help parents find balance, allowing them to enjoy date nights, quality time with friends, and self-care.

Hi! I’m Susan, a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, mom of two little girls, and a former Kindergarten teacher. I’m glad you found me :-) I am a gentle sleep coach and use the Sleep Sense method of interval reassurance with the option of staying in the room with your child with a gradual exit plan. I feel that one of our most sacred jobs as a parent is to help our babies feel safe and secure not just during the day but at night, too. Sleep is crucial in child development and I believe that children who struggle to find sleep can be taught healthy sleep habits. I’ve personally experienced this when we worked with a consultant to solve our youngest’s sleep troubles! If your child is struggling to find sleep or relies on you to fall asleep, let’s chat. I’d love to help your family get the sleep you all deserve!

I’m on a mission to empower and educate new parents on infant and toddler sleep patterns so that they’re able to stress less about sleep and enjoy parenthood more. When working together, I tailor my services to meet my clients where they are and strive to provide every parent with the tools they need to get more rest for their baby and for themselves.

At Baby Sleep Goals we strive to provide parents with the education, tools and support they need to get their children sleeping better for years to come!
