Holistic Newborn Sleep
SLEEP EDUCATION FOR NEW AND EXPECTING PARENTS
New parents can actively encourage healthy sleep habits for their newborn right away! It’s true! During the first 16 weeks of life, you can nurture and shape your newborn's emerging circadian rhythm, paving the way for a good night's sleep.
Not sure where to start? This is where I come in!
I educate new and expecting parents on the biology of newborn sleep and on responsive sleep shaping techniques that will support, guide, and encourage the development of healthy sleeping habits from day one.
Holistic sleep is different.
NURTURE YOUR PARENTING INSTINCTS
Traditional approaches to newborn sleep leave parents feeling like there are little to no options until their baby is older -- or rather ‘of sleep training age’. While I have lots of compassion and understanding for parents who choose sleep training or controlled crying methods, you will not find any of those techniques here.
What you will find here are realistic, evidence-based alternatives that take several critical elements into account: your child’s personality and temperament, infant brain development, feeding and attachment, sleep biology, and responsive parenting styles.
I teach new and expecting parents that they do have options to supporting their newborns sleep -- and their own -- from day one.
My goal is to help parents deeply connect to and understand their child; their attachment style, their sensory needs, and their love language. What I enjoy most of all is seeing parents feel calm, confident, and empowered in their parenting, because they truly understand their child, the biological needs of their child, and themselves.
How does it work?
I partner with parents to understand their personal parenting styles, goals, and lifestyle, so that we can create a relevant approach to sleep and build healthy habits that will support an ever-developing child. As a Holistic Sleep Coach, here are a few details that I consider when looking at a and infant’s or child’s sleep:
FAMILY
Parents, siblings, caregivers, wider family, community, overall emotional/ mental/ physical health, anxieties, stress, etc.
DEVELOPMENT
Age, developmental stage, personality, temperament, sensory needs, exercise, play, daily routines, sleep habits, nutrition, allergies, etc.
ENVIRONMENT
Optimized and safe sleep environments, temperatures, lighting and exposure, noise, dressing for sleep, etc.
“You can never give a human infant too much love or connection.”

Is Holistic Newborn Sleep for you?
IN SHORT — YES!
The beauty of Holistic Newborn Sleep is that it is genuinely personalized to fit your family’s unique needs and is rooted in biologically normal sleep, responsive parenting, and gentle, attachment-focused methods.
Here are a few common topics that new and expecting parents ask about:
Understanding newborn sleep, how to prepare for newborn sleep, identifying sleep cues, preventing over-tiredness, optimizing the sleep space, settling/soothing newborns, how to help baby love their bassinet, contact napping, short naps, the witching hour, sleep requirements, tired cues, wake windows, etc.

“We can finally see the light at the end of tunnel!”
“Courtney has been a huge help in giving us the tools and resources needed to get on the right path to healthy sleep patterns for our little one. I am grateful for her support and the wealth of knowledge that she has provided to us. She has given us the confidence as parents to move forward with a routine that is customized to our family/household, and we can finally see the light at the end of tunnel!” — Janessa
“Courtney was a miracle worker! My only regret is not doing this sooner!”
“Courtney was a miracle worker! She takes a scientific approach backed by sound research, but is also caring, nurturing and really gets to know the children and family. She put a customized plan together and literally within 1-2 nights of following the plan, our girls were sleeping through the night with the exception of one feeding. My only regret is not doing this earlier! I give my highest recommendation to Green House Doula!” — Michael
