Gentle care for your nervous system, your pelvic alignment, and your baby’s sleep (yes, really)

When you’re pregnant, it feels like everyone has an opinion: “Just do yoga,” “Take more naps,” or the classic, “Sleep now before the baby comes!” (insert eye roll). But what if your discomfort, your round ligament pain, your back twinges—or even your baby’s reflux after birth—could all be supported by something surprisingly simple?

Pregnancy and birth are some of the most transformative experiences in a person’s life. They’re also often filled with a lot of unknowns—how will labor start, how will your body handle it, how can you best support your baby’s journey into the world? If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the what-ifs, you’re not alone.

Let’s bust a myth right off the bat: there’s no one-size-fits-all method that magically works for every child. That’s especially true when you’re parenting in a connected, responsive way.

Attachment parenting doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your sanity. And seeking sleep support doesn’t mean you’re abandoning your instincts.

If you’re holding your baby while reading this with one hand and sipping your third cup of lukewarm coffee with the other, first of all, I see you. I’ve been there. And so have hundreds of families I’ve supported through those long, hazy days and even longer nights.

Grab your favorite mug (bonus points if it’s reheated coffee number three), because we’re about to pull back the curtain on what really goes into working with a sleep doula—and why it might feel like a big investment.

Spoiler alert: it’s because you’re getting way more than just a few tips about naps and a “good luck” email.

If you’re currently pregnant and soaking up all the info you can find about what to expect after birth—first of all, high five for planning ahead. While everyone seems to be talking about birth plans, swaddling techniques, and car seats, very few people are talking about one of the biggest shifts you’ll face postpartum: your hormones.

Let’s be real: the first year with a baby is beautiful… and bonkers. One moment you’re soaking up sleepy snuggles, and the next you’re googling “why won’t my baby nap longer than 20 minutes?” at 2 a.m. It’s a lot. And that’s where monthly doula calls come in—offering practical advice, emotional support, and the comforting reminder that you’re not doing this alone.
