Sleep Support Services
Happy, healthy sleep is an important milestone for all babies, and comes easier to some families than others. GROW partners with Rachael Gelinaeu of Champlain Doula to facilitate support for families who need more tools to help navigate sleep challenges. As a certified pediatric sleep consultant, Rachael knows there is no “one size fits all” method and uses gentle, evidence-based techniques to find a sleep solution that fits for your entire family. Her philosophy centers around getting to know your baby, their rhythm and their communication so you can understand their needs and help them sleep.
Newborn Sleep Basics
For infants birth to 12 months or during pregnancy, $100
The perfect survival guide for new and expecting parents to help you understand newborn sleep, how you can navigate it, and how to guide your baby for future sleep success. You will receive my Newborn Sleep Basics course materials and we will meet in person or virtually to discuss them and any questions you might have. This is a wonderful option for while you are expecting, or at any point in the fourth trimester.
Package Includes:
○ Newborn sleep class PDF.
○ A 60 minute consultation to review class materials and answer questions.
For an additional $100 fee:
Follow up text and email support for two weeks of your choosing birth-12 weeks.
Virtual Sleep Support
For children 12 weeks to 5 years, $400
This two week package is designed to help your family with sleep challenges. We start with a comprehensive intake questionnaire and intake call so I have the information I need to prepare a customized sleep plan for your child. We will meet to go over their plan and make sure you are feeling confident and prepared to support your child. I will be there to support you every step of the way with two weeks of coaching, followed by a wrap up session.
Package includes:
○ A sleep assessment to identify what challenges your little one is facing around sleep.
○ An individualized sleep plan built to meet your child’s unique needs.
○ A 60 minute consultation to review the plan and answer any questions you may have.
○ Two weeks of unlimited text and email support, and scheduled phone support.
○ A thirty minute wrap up call to answer and remaining questions and celebrate your successes.
Sleep Support & Overnight Postpartum
For infants & older, $1200
The best of both worlds. Begin your sleep coaching with three nights of overnight postpartum support to catch up on much needed rest so you are ready to help your child achieve the same. After the initial three nights of support services are provided virtually.
This service combines three postpartum overnights followed by my full Virtual Sleep Coaching package.
Ask Me Anything Call
For children 12 weeks & older, $100
A scheduled one hour call to dial in support around a specific sleep issue. Includes wrap up email and time for questions. Does not include a sleep plan or follow up support. Great for children who generally sleep well but need extra support in one area.
About Rachael Gelineau and her philosophy
Rachael is GROW’s in-house certified pediatric sleep consultant and overnight postpartum doula, helping us make sure our GROW community is supported not just during the daytime but at night as well!
Her experience and expertise center around overnight support – helping families get the sleep they need while helping their little ones build a solid foundation for future sleep success. She is a certified pediatric sleep consultant through the Center for Pediatric Sleep Management, a certified lactation counselor through the Healthy Children’s Project, and has been working in our community for the past 10 years as a postpartum doula. She has a particular love of helping families with multiples, and has extensive experience with twins.
As a Certified Sleep Consultant, Rachael works with each family to find a gentle sleep solution that matches their family values and dynamics. The foundation of her philosophy is communication – encouraging parents to really listen to their babies and learn how they communicate their different needs and experiences. Building on that solid foundation of attachment, she works with parents to find a plan that supports their child to develop self regulating skills so they can confidently fall asleep on their own, knowing their parents will be there for them if they need them. This not only helps little ones feel rested, but also allows parents to get sleep that is so important to their own health and mental wellbeing.
Rachael lives in Essex with her husband, two sons, their housemate, and a menagerie of house cats. They can often be found hiking, playing tabletop roleplaying games, and participating in the local branch of a historical reenactment society.
