Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m really glad you’re here.

What I want to share with you isn’t a polished story about motherhood.
It’s the truth — and it’s the reason this work exists.

I never planned to have children. And yet, in 2019, I became a first-time mom, and everything I thought I knew about myself unraveled. I was recovering from an emergency C-section, navigating postpartum anxiety and depression, learning to breastfeed, and caring for a newborn whose sleep seemed to disappear entirely.

My daughter slept in fragments — minutes at a time — day and night. I moved through dark corners of my house feeding her to sleep, scrolling endlessly through blogs, Facebook groups, and Google searches at all hours. Every answer conflicted. Every approach felt wrong. Everyone else seemed to know what they were doing — except me.

I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly desperate.

At 3 a.m. one night, I booked a consultation with a sleep consultant. Even that decision sent my anxiety spiraling. The idea of sleep training terrified me — and yet I needed relief. I needed something.

When the night came to begin, it was painful. Listening to my four-month-old cry felt unbearable. It took over two hours for her to fall asleep. The night was hard, and the morning after was heavy.

But then something shifted.

On the second day, I laid her down for a nap, stepped outside, and cried on my porch. I heard her cry — and then suddenly, it stopped. Three minutes later, she was asleep.

For the first time in months, I felt relief.
Not perfection. Not ease.
But hope.

Over time, with consistency and observation, my daughter’s sleep became predictable. That predictability changed everything. Even small certainty gave me my life back.

I promised myself then: if I ever met another parent struggling like I was, I would help — without hesitation.

And I did.

Over the next few years, I supported friends, strangers, coworkers, and referrals. I worked with dozens of babies and families. And something became clear: sleep support is not one-size-fits-all. Babies are individuals. Families are individuals. Sleep is fluid, nuanced, and deeply relational.

So I stopped following rigid plans.
I started listening.

I learned to read signals, understand rhythms, and support each family uniquely. The more personalized the approach, the faster things settled — not just sleep, but trust.

That work became Sleep Discovery.

This isn’t sleep training.
It isn’t tracking.
It’s a process of listening, understanding rhythm, and restoring confidence — for babies and parents.

Sleep has been a gift to me.
And helping families rediscover it has become my calling.

If you’re here because you’re tired, confused, or unsure — you’re not alone.
If your story is different, similar, or unfinished — you’re welcome here.

I’m honored to walk with families through this tender work.
