About Rachel

Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through early parenthood as a nanny, a postpartum doula, and a double-certified sleep consultant. This has given me a unique perspective on the incredible joy, deep love, and very real challenges that come with raising young children.

One thing I've seen time and again is how confusing and overwhelming there world of baby sleep can be. Parents are often made to feel like they have only two choices: "just wait it out" or "cry it out." But the truth is, there is so much more space in between.

It is my passion to provide families with evidence-based sleep education that is truly personalized to each kiddo and parents- because no family is the same. I help you find the balance that honors what baby needs developmentally and biologically, and honors and supports what you need to thrive as a parent. Your goals are my goals, and I am here to empower you to support your child’s sleep with confidence.

I have a rich background in theatre and music! Performing for young audiences is my favorite (as seen to the left, when I played Ivy in Ivy and Bean the Musical and became a brief celebrity in my town).

I’m from Vermont and now live in Colorado with my husband Alex and our quirky dog Rikki, and provide virtual support worldwide and in person support in Boulder County.
