We are Lauren & Chelsea, owners of Detroit Dreams Tonight! Our life’s work has led us to guiding families like yours to a more peaceful & supported postpartum.
There is a reason sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture. It is because it can so easily affect one’s every day life, mental function, and emotional or physical wellness.
After years of working with families as nannies and then postpartum doulas, it became evident to us just how seriously a chronic lack of sleep affected both parents & babies. Maternal depletion, in particular, is real and it can be incredibly tough to navigate. It shocked us how as a society we have just accepted this as the norm and told to just push through.
Except we don’t believe it should be the norm and we don’t think you should have to “push through.”
Sure, some depletion and sleep deprivation is to be expected and even normal, especially during the first 4-6 months after your baby’s birth. During this period of adjustment families can benefit from daytime or overnight visits with a postpartum doula or newborn care specialist. With regular postpartum support, you can enjoy an optimal recovery - focusing on bonding with your baby, resting, nourishing your body, and healing.
Around the 4-month mark, parents find themselves struggling with creating a balance between going back to work and finding time to get their baby on a regular schedule & sleeping through the night. If it doesn’t work, the sleep deprivation continues on and on and on. If you’ve found yourself in that place we just described, please know that it’s ok to ask for help. A sleep coach is a great option if you need sleep education, tips, or sleep training support.
Our highly effective sleep programs have the highest standards in the industry and provides a network of incredible support worldwide. With the combination of this proven method, plus the compassion and accountability that comes with your sleep coaches support and follow up care, we help ensure that this program will establish healthy sleep habits for life!
Whether you live in Metro-Detroit, another part of Michigan, or elsewhere in the world, we want you and your family to enjoy a peaceful 4th trimester and enjoy healthy sleep habits from the start. We want your family to thrive and it would be such an honor to work with you!
