Twiniversity Approved Certified Gentle Sleep Coaches

Twiniversity Approved Certified Gentle Sleep Coach Badge

Twiniversity has paired up with Kim West, The Sleep Lady, to help ensure that your twinnies start sleeping through the night as early as possible.

Kim has cracked the code on newborn sleep. With over twenty-five years of helping parents around the globe, Kim has learned that raising babies—even newborn twins—doesn’t have to be a sleep-deprived nightmare. Her Baby-Led Sleep Shaping and Coaching method is a gentle approach that parents can use to shape sleep at first and then, when developmentally (and temperamentally) appropriate, coach their little ones as they learn to fall asleep and stay asleep on their own.

I am Lauren Oak, a Certified Postpartum Doula, Birth Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Gentle Sleep Coach. Based in Long Island, NY, I serve families across Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan.

I possess a bachelor’s Degree in Social Science and a master’s Degree in School Counseling. In my previous life, I was a Foster Care Caseworker for 7 years and a Guidance Counselor.

Sleep is a constant subject that comes up when speaking with parents. With my guidance, we can set up a proper sleep environment to set the stage for sleep success.

My gentle sleep coaching approach will allow your child to learn how to fall asleep and stay asleep all night on their own without leaving them to cry it out. 

Fees vary depending on location, the need for travel, and the services provided. Contact me to schedule an initial consultation to discuss your and your baby’s needs.

I am a certified Gentle Sleep Coach passionate about supporting families with twins and multiples. As a mother of twins myself, I understand the unique challenges and joys of raising two at once.

With a background in early childhood development and extensive education in lactation and gentle sleep solutions, I specialize in helping families of premature twins establish healthy sleep habits while prioritizing emotional well-being. I bring creativity, compassion, and a non-judgmental approach to my coaching, empowering parents to find sustainable solutions that work for their family.

Drawing from my own experience with postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, I am a fierce advocate for maternal mental health. I am dedicated to providing the guidance and support that parents of multiples need to prioritize their own well-being and create a nurturing environment for their children.

Through my work with Twiniversity, I strive to foster a community of understanding and empowerment for families with twins and multiples, ensuring that no parent feels alone in their journey.

I’m Tara, and I’ve been a certified Gentle Sleep Coach since the early days as one of the “first 50.” In 2011, I founded Tulsa Pediatric Sleep Consulting, a journey that has connected me with thousands of families worldwide.

My background in Elementary Education from the University of Oklahoma initially led me to the classroom, but after becoming a stay-at-home mom with my first daughter, I faced the sleep struggles that so many parents know well. That experience sparked my journey to become a Gentle Sleep Coach.

In addition to my work as a Gentle Sleep Coach, I am also certified as a Happiest Baby on the Block Educator. I am an active member of both the Association of Professional Sleep Consultants and the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants.

I specialize in children from birth to 10 years old and have a particular passion for helping families with multiples. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with countless sets of twins, many triplets and even quadruplets.

Hi, I’m Julie and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Gentle Sleep Coach based in Bellevue, Washington. I am a mom to three boys, a singleton and twins. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Washington State University and a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University. Julie is one of the first 50 graduates of the 2011 Gentle Sleep Coaching Program, trained by The Sleep Lady, Kim West..

I have over ten years of experience as a successful Sleep Coach, helping families improve their lives through better sleep. I offer individualized sleep plans and consultations for children aged 5 months through 6 years, addressing a variety of sleep challenges and providing support for developmental changes, illnesses, and travel. I will also support parents with children ages 0-5 months, whom would like gentle sleep solutions.
