Seattle Sleep Doula

Need a Night Nurse?

February 23, 2014 By AdminDoula1

If you’re looking for a night nurse, I can help. I have a lot of East Coast clients who ask for a night nurse and here on the West Coast we call that a Doula! Having been raised in New York I understand, it’s one of those fun East/West Coast translations.

baby won't sleepGenerally speaking, a night nurse is usually primarily concerned with the baby and the baby’s needs. While the baby is certainly an important focus in my work, as a Doula I also bring additional experience, information and knowledge to help address external factors that could also be impacting your child’s sleep patterns. In short, the doula approach is more of a wholistic approach to the family’s dynamic, taking into consideration the health and well being of both mom and baby as they transition into a cohesive family unit.

As a night nurse and doula, I bring all of my postpartum doula experience, breastfeeding education and support to assist you in any way that you need. I am educated and experienced in baby sleep rhythms, the physical and emotional needs and support for moms, as well as a variety of other skill sets and experiences that will accomplish your night nurse needs perfectly.

Call me today and let’s talk about your night nurse needs.

So, are you a Sleep Coach or a Doula?

October 4, 2013 By AdminDoula1

sleep coach babiesI am a Sleep Coach who has the experience, background and knowledge of a Doula! Most Sleep Coaches are not Doulas and vice versa, but I have trained and am certified as both.

As a Sleep Coach I have over 50 hours of specialized sleep training under Kim West’s “Gentle Sleep Coach” program. As a Doula, I trained in the Seattle Midwifery’s Birth Doula program, taught under Penny Simkin, along with the Postpartum Doula Training Program at the Seattle Midwifery School.

In addition to my training I bring with me over 10,000 hours and five years experience working with families of multiples. These experiences as a Doula allow me to be an even better Sleep Coach because I bring so much “real life,” practical experience to each situation.

Don’t all Sleep Coaches Offer Overnight Services?

October 4, 2013 By AdminDoula1

baby sleep helpActually, no. Most Sleep Coaches will provide information, education and coaching but will not stay overnight. I consider this an important option for many families for multiple reasons. First, parents will be able to better learn how to coach their young ones if they are fully rested. Also, for many people learning “hand’s on” is the best way to learn. We can accomplish both of these objectives through overnight stays.

Why Do You Offer Overnight Services?

October 4, 2013 By AdminDoula1

postpartum doulaIt has been my experience that by the time parents realize that they need help for their baby’s sleep issues they are already at their breaking point. They need sleep and they need it immediately. By staying overnight, I can serve two purposes simultaneously: to ensure that the parents begin their recuperative sleep right away while also beginning the sleep coaching process with their young one(s).

Why are Good Sleep Habits Important?

January 23, 2013 By AdminDoula1

Good sleep habits are a learned behavior that benefits both babies and their families. Together we can put together a strategy and game plan that works for you. I’m here to help you reach your sleep goals. A well rested family is a happier family!
