Finding peace and reclaiming joy.

Sleep Wise is here to coach you through the biggest challenges of this season.

The Family Coaching program is designed to help families function at their best. It’s private coaching for parents in the midst of transitions and unexpected challenges, and for children navigating life’s pressures, stressors, and anxieties. We’re here to guide you through it all, so that you don’t have to exist in survival mode.

Meet your family coach.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified Sleep Consultant Stephanie Drew is no stranger to the ups and downs of parenting. As a mom, she’s experienced the self-doubt, relational stress, and sleep deprivation that comes with caring for kids. Her own experiences as a mother motivate her to equip families with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive.

Stephanie earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Brown University and a Master’s in Social Work from NYU. Using her clinical training and diverse experience counseling children, adolescents, and adults, she empowers each Sleep Wise family with skills to overcome their unique hurdles.

Stephanie’s therapeutic training includes:

  • child development
  • healthy attachment
  • cognitive behavioral interventions
  • family systems
  • pediatric & adult sleep
Find your parenting confidence.

Underneath back-to-work stress, diaper-duty arguments, and bedtime struggles, there often lie feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and self-doubt that plague moms and dads.

By working with an experienced family coach, you’ll unpack your unique parenting experiences, beliefs, and desires. As you build inner confidence, you’ll experience transformation from the inside out.

When our kids are struggling, it can leave parents feeling helpless. The pressures of school, activities, and peers can be overwhelming. Stephanie can work with your child to untangle these complex emotions and help your child to thrive.

Who It’s For

Family Coaching
is perfect for:

  • new parents navigating life with a baby or heading back to work
  • parents navigating tantrums, meltdowns, or other big behaviors in their children
  • children struggling with stressors that manifest into difficulty sleeping or connecting with loving caregivers
What You’ll Learn

With 1:1 support from Stephanie, you or your child will develop
skills to thrive emotionally, mentally, and relationally.

Navigating the 4th Trimester

Post-birth healing, sleep disruptions, dramatic hormonal changes, and new family dynamics make the 4th trimester a physically and emotionally taxing season. We’ll help you stay connected to your center (and yourself) in the beautiful chaos of the newborn days.

Find your Calm

Most new moms have a vision of how they want to parent. But stressful situations can trigger even the most experienced parents, causing them to react in ways that don’t align with their parenting goals. You’ll identify your common triggers and learn self-regulation skills to parent from a place of peace.

Support Your Child

You recognize areas that your child may struggle and not know how you can best help them. Your coach can work with your child to create strategies designed to ease their stress and anxiety around certain areas of their life, and strengthen your family bond.

Yes! Expecting parents are welcome to lay a healthy foundation for postpartum by working with Stephanie in the months or weeks before their baby is due. 

I’m not a first-time parent, but my first postpartum experience was difficult. Is this for me?
