Hey Mama.....I 'm Marianna!
I am a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula and a Pediatric Sleep Consultant.
European born, college grad and former International Flight Attendant, I know what it’s like to be Postpartum, a New overwhelmed parent and Sleep deprived. As a Mama, just like you, I know we're over the moon about our kids. In my two decades working with newborns and children, I’ve learned that supported and educated parents and well nurtured newborns from the very beginning provides ultimate foundation of healthy well-being.
I’ve been on an incredible journey that led me to where I am today.
As the founder of Gimme Sleep, I work with families in person and remotely all over the world by providing guidance and much needed support on their journey to Motherhood, Parenthood, Postpartum health and Sleep.
As a Newborn Care Specialist and Doula I offer invaluable assistance to parents 24 hours a day allowing them to get postpartum rest, support and sleep while ensuring the well-being and care of their newborn bundle of joy.
As a Pediatric Sleep Coach I have been able to successfully guide families and children 0-5 y to a path of healthy sleep and enrich their lives tremendously.
Interesting fact about me..I
lived in 11 different cites across the world.
I love what I do!
"... I was having a blast playing with my daughter, because we both were Sleeping and Thriving and we could just Be!"
The Path to Your Sleep with Gimme Sleep.
Your bundle of joy is uniquely made, perfect creation that should be handled with the utmost care.
Here are the Gimme Sleep fundamentals that provide the structure and consistency parents and children need to Sleep, Thrive and Be.
These are my Core Beliefs:
-
A holistic approach to sleep training is best for family and child.
-
Encouraging child’s natural ability to self-sooth is essential.
-
“Crying it out” without parent intervention is NOT an effective sleep training.
-
Process, which allows for healthy parental presence and gradual exit
-
Healthy mind- Positive motivation-healthy diet.
My Philosophy
My European upbringing instilled in me a holistic approach.
I firmly believe that finding the root of the problem is necessary to finding the solution to an appropriate sleep training method.
With this approach I have been able to help mamas, and their little ones thrive.
I am confident that if you are ready and committed you'll get the results you desire.
As a Certified a Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist and a Pediatric sleep coach with credentials from Credit Coach Academy, I combine my life experience with my education to help you
Sleep, Thrive, and Be!
Why Gimme Sleep?
Just like any other training, sleep training is a commitment.
It is no different than training for a healthy body. You can’t afford to spend hours scrolling the internet in the middle of the night trying to mix and match methods. Your bundle of joy needs to sleep and so do you!
If you wanted to get a toned, beach body now, we all know you would see results much faster by hiring a personal trainer. Let's face it, YouTubing tutorials and exercise videos is not as effective as you thought.
If you were to go the Youtube route, you would get frustrated, exhausted, and no closer to your fitness goals. You would then decide to get serious and invest in a personal trainer. The structure, accountability, and education the trainer provides helps you begin seeing results immediately! You don't stop there. No! You don’t put in that type of work to waste it on pizza and ice cream. You stay consistent with a healthy diet of salads and whole foods to keep in shape and build good habits.
Hey Mama, It's no different with sleep training. Breaking point along with commitment, consistency will make sleep training your success. It's never too early or too late to start sleep training. SO, Let's get sleep-fit together!
