Helping little dreamers sleep, so the whole family can rest.

I'm Alexa, a labor and delivery nurse, certified sleep consultant and mama. I help families teach their babies to sleep independently, with a plan built around their baby's unique temperament.

Sound familiar?

You're doing everything, and your baby is still fighting sleep.

Rocking, nursing or a bottle to sleep, contact naps, the pacifier on repeat, naps only in the car. You're exhausted, and some days you feel like you're losing yourself a little.

I've been there. Postpartum can feel dark and isolating, and better sleep is what helped me feel like me again. Your baby is smarter than you think. With a plan and some consistency, babies learn sleep as a skill, just like eating or walking.

How I help

Structured, but never one-size-fits-all.

Built around your baby

Every baby has their own temperament. Your plan and daily schedule are made for your baby and your family's life.

A gentle check-in method

You stay involved and can go in to reassure your baby. Each parent gets a role, so you feel in control the whole way.

Right there with you

Check-ins by text, phone and FaceTime while you work through the plan, until you feel you're in a good spot.

“Good sleep isn't selfish. It's how your baby grows, and how you start feeling like you again.”Alexa Gisch, RN

And after?For nap drops and schedule changes down the road, I'm just a text or a phone call away.

I am also a nurse, so I just don't want to be told what to do. I want to understand the why. Alexa was incredibly knowledgeable, methodical, patient, and thorough. She was able to explain the science and physiology behind infant sleep in a way that made everything make sense, while also giving us practical guidance that we could actually implement.
