What I Help With

Holistic Sleep Support

I help you understand your child’s sleep through a developmental lens—honoring temperament, nervous system regulation, feeding needs, and maternal mental health.

No harsh methods. No generic programs. Just sustainable, aligned support rooted in attachment and evidence.

Common concerns I support:

Frequent night wakings
Short naps + inconsistent schedules
Newborn sleep foundations
Sleep regressions
Bedtime battles
Transitioning out of contact sleep
Bed-sharing challenges
Supporting a parent’s return to work

Birth & Postpartum Coaching

Birth & postpartum don’t come with a manual—but they DO come with overwhelm and plenty of books claiming to give you all the answers.

My coaching blends developmental psychology, behavioral science, and an ancestrally guided approach to help you parent with more confidence, clarity, and calm.

Common topics I cover:

Birth planning guidance
Childbirth Education
Nervous system + emotional regulation for parents
Gentle discipline rooted in connection
Older sibling behavior + development
Feeding, routines, and transitions
Values-based parenting support

I know you! You’re a thoughtful, highly responsive mother—one who reads the research, trusts her instincts, and wants support and guidance that honors both.

Here, you’ll find the perfect combination of current evidence-based strategies and ancestral wisdom in your customized plans to help your baby sleep better, attach securely, and develop just as they were meant to, while you feel steady, supported, and in control of your motherhood journey.

Evidence-Based | Ancestrally Guided |

When I say evidence-based education and ancestrally guided wisdom, I’m talking about the sweet spot where modern developmental science meets the practices that have supported mothers for generations. It’s an approach that honors what research shows while still respecting the intuition, slowness, and connection our bodies and babies naturally crave.

Hi, I’m Gretchen!

Your Motherhood Coach + Holistic Sleep Counselor

I help mothers navigate the first years with a blend of evidence-based education and gentle, ancestrally guided wisdom. My approach isn’t about rigid rules or “perfect” parenting—it’s about support that honors your values, your baby’s unique needs, and your family’s wellbeing.

If you want calm, connection, and realistic solutions (not another overwhelming checklist), you’re in the right place.

I work with mothers who want:

Support that feels nurturing, not judgmental
A coach who understands the science and the soul of motherhood
Strategies that work without sacrificing your intuition
Holistic guidance that considers sleep, feeding, mental health, and development
A partner who meets your family exactly where you are

My work is grounded in my master’s degree in developmental psychology, years of clinical and community mental health experience, and specialized training in birth support, perinatal mental health and holistic sleep.

But more importantly—my work is grounded in compassion.I’m here to help you feel capable, informed, and never alone.

What Past Mothers Are Saying!

"Gretchen was so supportive and encouraging to me as a new mom. I had a very difficult newborn and a very hard time adjusting to motherhood, and she made me feel comfortable with my parenting decisions rather than try to “fix” me and my daughter. She is a great source of knowledge to have access to during pregnancy and postpartum."

Carolyn L.
"We would definitely recommend Gretchen! ... She is very knowledgeable presenting different evidence based facts for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. One of our favorite highlights from Gretchen was the support she gave to me and my husband throughout."

Sammi K.
I highly recommend Gretchen for families seeking sleep support for their babies/toddlers! I was so hesitant to hire help for our 12 month old because of an unsuccessful experience with another sleep coach with our oldest son, and because the term "sleep training" automatically made me think of leaving my baby to cry alone in his room. From our very first communication with Gretchen, she was incredibly reassuring, empowering, and listened to exactly what our challenges were. She assured me that she could help us support our son in getting better sleep, without doing anything we were uncomfortable with. By the third night of implementing the program Gretchen crafted specifically for us, our son had gone from 2-4 wakeups per night (with a feeding at each wakeup), to at maximum, one night waking. Our nighttime routine now feels so predictable and calm, rather than anxiety-inducing and stressful. Our son, and the rest of our family, are all getting so much more sleep and that is something I really wasn't sure was possible! Gretchen was so supportive and encouraging, and I really appreciate how she went out of her way to support us as parents throughout this journey, which is something that I feel made all the difference. The changes that Gretchen's program have helped our family make, and the peace of mind in having a rested baby, are priceless to us. Thank you, Gretchen!
