How Sleep Coaches Helps Families and Why Doulas Should Consider Becoming One

Sleep can be one of the biggest stressors for new and growing families—but many parents don’t realize there is professional support available beyond simply “waiting it out.”

In this episode, I’m joined by Jayne Havens, a pediatric sleep consultant and founder of Center for Pediatric Sleep Management to talk about what sleep consultants actually do, how they support families, and when it may be time to seek help.

We break down common misconceptions about infant and child sleep, what sleep coaching can look like, and how support can be personalized to match a family’s values and goals.

We also explore why pediatric sleep consulting can be a powerful add-on service for doulas, postpartum professionals, and anyone already supporting families. If you love helping parents but want another way to make a meaningful impact (while creating additional income streams), this conversation is packed with insight.

Whether you’re a tired parent or a doula looking to expand your offerings, this episode will help you understand the value of sleep support.

Jayne is a certified pediatric sleep consultant through the Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting and Center for Pediatric Sleep Management. She believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to teaching a child to fall asleep and back to sleep independently. All children, regardless of age, are capable of learning this life-long skill; they simply need to be given an opportunity to try!

Jayne Havens is the founder of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Management, where she trains, mentors, and certifies aspiring pediatric sleep consultants to build meaningful and profitable businesses. She continues to support families through her consulting practice, Snooze Fest by Jayne Havens. Known for her client-led approach, Jayne works with families using methods that align with their parenting style, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to helping children sleep independently. Through both her consulting work and CPSM, Jayne has established herself as a trusted leader in the field.
