There is a comforting presence and confidence when it comes to gentle sleep support. You should feel empowered to offer responsive care to your little ones, all while also establishing a harmonious balance surrounding their sleep.
Meet Stephanie
Owner & Founder of The Mindful Sleep Mama
As a mother of three and a passionate advocate for respectful parenting, my journey into the world of infant sleep began a little over seven years ago, when I was pregnant with my first son. The experience of becoming a mother opened my eyes to the challenges and joys of parenthood, particularly in the space of sleep. The struggles I faced in those early days with sleepless nights & uncertainty, fueled my determination to learn everything I could about infant sleep. Through schooling at the Institute of Pediatric Sleep & Parenting, and through my own experiences, I learned practical strategies and gentle techniques that have helped my family. Motivated by these experiences and the desire to support other parents, I founded The Mindful Sleep Mama. I offer a neutral space to share all things related to sleep & parenting, with compassion and understanding. I’m so glad you are here!

My Approach
My method is characterized by a gentle, respectful, and highly parent-present approach. I recognize the significance of establishing a nurturing and secure sleep setting without turning to cry-it-out techniques. Central to my philosophy is the cultivation of a strong parent-child bond and the fostering of healthy sleep patterns through compassionate guidance. I prioritize providing comfort, reassurance, and gentle assistance. Through responsive parenting and the implementation of calming, realistic routines, my aim is to establish a safe sleep environment tailored to your little ones needs.

Tailoring Sleep Programs for Your Family
I understand the critical role that baby sleep plays in the well-being of families and recognize that every family is unique with different parenting styles and daily routines. That's why I take a personalized approach to my 1:1 customized sleep programs, ensuring that they align perfectly with your lifestyle.
By customizing the program to fit your needs, I can aim to create a solution that works for both you and your little one. Whether you prefer a gentle, gradual method or a more structured approach, I will ensure that my strategies suit your comfort level and goals.
My goal is to support not just your baby's sleep, but the overall harmony of your family.
