Sleep support shouldn’t leave parents feeling like they’re fighting their instincts.

Our holistic approach helps families understand their child’s unique needs, support sleep in a way that feels aligned with their values, and stay connected along the way.

When you work with us, there will never be a one-size-fits-all approach to your child’s sleep. 🤍

How I sleep train my baby…

Just kidding. 🤍

I respond reliably.
I feed to sleep.
I support all the way to sleep.
I tell my baby they’re safe.

I don’t do these things because I’m a perfect parent. I do them because I understand infant sleep, child development, and what is biologically normal.

Knowledge changed everything for me.

When you understand why your baby wakes, why they need support, and what realistic expectations look like, it’s much easier to trust yourself and parent with confidence.

That’s why we created The Nurture Village and our holistic sleep support services. To provide evidence-based education, individualized support, and the confidence to make informed decisions that align with your family’s values.

Comment “SLEEP” and we’ll send you more information.

No rigid methods. No pressure to ignore your instincts. Just gentle, individualized support that works with your child.

If you’re ready to stop spiralling and start trusting yourself again, join us in the village. 🤍

So how do you know when they’re ready?

🌝 Watch your baby’s sleepy cues (yawning, red eyebrows, staring off, etc.)

🌝 Co-regulate their nervous system by lending your calm. Read books, sing songs, snuggle, blow bubbles, laugh!

🌝 Connect with your baby (don’t rush this part) so they can feel safe, secure, and supported

🌝 Trust sleep pressure: the natural build-up of sleepiness that increases the longer they’ve been awake and creates the drive for sleep

Take the pressure off the “ideal” bedtime and trust that sleep will come when your baby is ready 🤍

About:
Meet Hayley and Erin: twins, mothers, and early childhood experts, also known as "The Nurture Duo" on a mission to redefine sleep support. With a shared 'twin-tuition' for understanding human rhythms, they help parents move past cookie-cutter schedules and get to the heart of their baby’s unique needs. Together, they offer a compassionate roadmap for caregivers to feel regulated, confident, and deeply connected to their little ones.

Drawing on over two decades of professional experience in early childhood education, alongside their lived experience as mothers of four children with very different sleep needs, they empower caregivers to tune into their baby’s rhythms and trust their own intuition above all else.

Watching our husbands choose high-nurture, contact naps, bed sharing, and showing up emotionally with our children has been something really special to witness. Not because it’s always easy, but because it would often be easier not to.

Easier to stay on autopilot. Easier to repeat what they were taught.

Instead, they’re choosing connection. They’re learning, unlearning, and showing up differently.

To the dads showing up with intention every day: we see you, and we’re celebrating you.

Send this to a dad who deserves to be celebrated 🤍

Infant sleep is unique.

🧠 Babies are not meant to sleep like adults

🧠 Babies rely on caregivers for co-regulation and a felt sense of safety

🧠 They need to borrow our calm to fall asleep

🧠 It is normal for babies to wake after sleep cycles to check in and reassess their basic needs

🧠 Babies are not developmentally able to self-soothe on their own

🧠 There are no bad habits when you are responding with support

🧠 Sleep naturally ebbs and flows throughout infancy (0-3 years)
