Hey there, I'm Rachel!
I’m a mom of two boys, a certified pediatric sleep consultant, postpartum doula, and newborn care specialist based in SE Wisconsin. I’ve spent the past few years supporting families through those early, often overwhelming days of parenthood—and helping parents find more confidence, rest, and peace along the way.
The sleepless nights. The endless soothing. The wondering if you’re doing it “right.”
I’ve been there. I get it.
My own experiences as a mom, along with my professional work supporting new families, have shaped the way I approach this work. I believe you deserve support that meets you where you are—not another list of things you should be doing.
Whether you’re navigating postpartum life, trying to figure out your baby’s sleep, or looking for a gentler way to make nights work for your family, I’m here to help.
"I was skeptical about hiring a sleep consultant, but Rachel exceeded my expectations. Her gentle approach and in-depth knowledge of pediatric sleep made all the difference. My child's sleep improved, and our whole family is happier as a result. If you're struggling with sleep, don't hesitate to reach out to Rachel!"

My own journey with sleep...
Everything began with my own sleep trials and triumphs.
My first son was a dream sleeper. He slept like a champ, and I thought, “Yep, I’ve got this parenting thing down.”
Then came my second son—and, well…let’s just say he had a different plan. 😂
Sleep became something we chased. There were unexpected wake-ups, long nights, and plenty of moments when I wondered what I was doing wrong.
But that experience opened my eyes to just how different every baby—and every family—can be.
It taught me that there isn’t one magic solution when it comes to sleep. What works beautifully for one family may feel completely wrong for another.
That’s why my approach is gentle, realistic, and individualized.
I’m not here to tell you how you should parent or push you toward an approach that doesn’t feel right. I’m here to listen, help you understand what’s happening, and work with you to find an approach that fits your baby, your family, and your comfort level.
"Working with Rachel was a game-changer for our family. We were sleep-deprived and overwhelmed with our newborn. Her expertise and guidance transformed our nights into peaceful slumber. Our baby is now well-rested, and we are too. Thank you so incredibly much, Rachel!"
- Carolina Hernanda | Mom of Emma (9 weeks old)
