hey there, sleepy mama.

YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

We help parents ditch the stress and pressure surrounding baby sleep so that they can find solutions that work without compromising their parenting style. No sugar-coating, false promises or old-school methods.

✺ let’s be real. Most baby sleep info is outdated, scary, or just wrong.

There's so much contradictory advice out there about how to best get your baby sleeping. Much of what you google at 3am about baby sleep isn't actually based in evidence. Lots of it involves letting your baby cry it out or doing other things that just don't feel right to you. But you still REALLY need sleep.

That's where I come in! 👋🏻
I'm here to help you learn the actual science behind infant sleep so you can stress less and enjoy your parenting journey WAY more. Plus, more sleep for all. Sound good?

VIRTUAL 1:1 CONSULTING

If you really want some reassurance and encouragement, and maybe a little handholding, or you have a unique situation you need a set of eyes on, our team of consultants is the best in the biz!

hi! I’m rachael.

founder of hsb, certified sleep consultant, and most importantly, Mama of 3!

I've been where you are- totally sleep deprived and riddled with anxiety that I was doing everything wrong. Now that I'm a trained Sleep Specialist and have worked with families all over the world, I'm so thrilled that I can help you avoid all the mistakes I made as a first time mom! I create courses and guides to help you get your whole family sleeping better, without any sleep training (really).

hey sleepy baby rachael Pediatric Sleep Specialist holistic gentle nurturing conscious parenting attachment parenting natural baby development sleep training postpartum support mom friends podcast sleep course

the course:
hey, sleeping baby (0-18 mos)

  • This course is for parents with babies and toddlers 0-18 months. I wanted it to be a one stop shop for you whether you're expecting your first soon or are already deep into the whole parenting a baby thing. This course will take you all the way from birth to toddlerhood, and there will be an upgrade option to add on my "Toddlerhood and Beyond" course at a special discount as well!

  • That's the goal, of course! I will give you my "6 Keys" to get your baby sleeping. However, this course focuses on developmentally appropriate sleep biology vs. behavioral sleep training methods, so you won't necessarily get your baby sleeping 7-7 (because most aren't meant to!). However, you'll be confident that your baby is getting the sleep that they need and that they are being supported and responded to the whole time. Not only that, but you'll get strategies to get more rest for yourself as well, plus coping strategies and other tools you can use to be sure you're as rested as possible during tricky seasons of your little one's first months.

  • Nope. Really. There are zero sleep training methods in this course- not even "gentle" sleep training. What I define as "sleep training" might be different from others, so let me explain. Sleep training to me includes any technique or method that withholds the parent's natural inclination to respond. This could mean Extinction / Cry it Out, but it can also mean Ferber style "checking in" type methods, the Chair method, pick up/ put down, etc. These methods are all variations of sleep training because they are instructing the parent to withhold a natural response, which is to respond as quickly as they can, and to soothe their baby when needed. Of course none of us are perfect and babies DO cry. That's unavoidable and not really a problem in and of itself, but babies need Coregulation with a caregiver, not to cry it out alone.

  • Inside this course you'll get access to everything I know about infant sleep. There will be a whole library of video content- glossary style for easy middle of the night scrolling- and each will be just a few minutes long (because you have a life!) so you can quickly get answers you need. There is also a GORGEOUS guidebook in case you're more of a reader type, and a section for notes and journaling/ logging, plus tons of handy cheat sheets and charts you can refer to easily. My FAVORITE part is the section with other experts in the baby world. In-depth interviews with people you really need to hear from on topics like Reflux and Colic, Twins, Postpartum Mental Health, & more!

What Parents Like You are Saying:

“Rachael has completely changed the game for me! As a second time mom, who thought she had it all "figured out", my second baby threw me for a major loop. I never understood what was “normal” with my first, since he was naturally a pretty great sleeper. My daughter has woken up every 1-2 hours for the entirety of her first year, and Rachael not only helped me understand what was normal, but encouraged me to advocate for some additional answers on things that did not seem quite "right". I can truly say that I am a calmer more balanced person because of her and her services. I have recommended her to many friends and look forward to her content daily!”

— kelsey

“I have purchased both a Webinar and the Crib guide from Rachael and I would recommend over and over again! Both were extremely helpful in making a change for my family without going against my mama instincts and causing stress to my little one. If you’re worried like I was about making a change, but know it’s necessary, this is the perfect place for you to be!”

— shylo

“I truly don’t know where we would be if I hadn’t found your page and guide. It helped me feel empowered to stick to our choice not to sleep train when we were desperate for some Zzzs, while still feeling like we were working to improve everyone’s sleep situation in a safe and truly baby-led/attachment-focused way!”
