As a mother of two, I am intimately aware of the confusion, intricacies, pressures, and fatigue that can come from the early years of parenthood. My own journey into parenthood inspired my dissertation thesis on shame and maternal confidence and to delve deep into Infant/Child Developmental psychology. Here, we provide supportive facilitation and guidance to help develop a parent’s trust in their unique ability to nurture their baby/child. Our approach incorporates family values, baby's temperament, and family well being in developing a collaborative plan to help the whole family get back to sleep and thrive. We believe that when a family is well rested and confident then the transformation into familyhood is more creative, supported, peaceful, and joyous. We are pro co-sleeping and pro-solitary sleeping. We are for families getting the support they need.
I work nationally and teach classes in Greensboro and Asheville.
Parent Testimonials
When I reached out to Meggan for help, our 3.5 month old was sleeping great at night but not taking naps during the day. With her gentle hand and constant support, our daughter was taking 3 naps a day and consistently putting herself to sleep at night. Meggan's knowledge and love helped us to feel empowered and relaxed! I highly recommend her to anyone on a "sleep journey" with their precious child.

Hi Mamas- just wanted to share that I have been working with Meggan Hartman, infant sleep consultant- and she has been fantastic. My son is 9 months old and we have gone from him waking every hour and feeding to waking 1-2 times per night with her help. She also offered very helpful suggestions as far as eating, etc. She is very warm and supportive, and made a real effort to be there emotionally too as we went through this. I HIGHLY recommend her if you are struggling with sleep.

I really really enjoyed this group. I got out of it everything I was looking for it to be. A safe, open space to go to each week, informative/helpful/useful information about my baby's development and an outlet for some very pent up creative expression! I enjoyed hearing and sharing "check ins" about the week - because where we're coming from as mothers is changing so much, it is so great to hear others say exactly what I'm thinking myself; AND to hear others say things that I thought last week; or I feel a certain way later and remember that I heard someone else describe that same feeling...just so encouraging and reassuring to hear others experiences. Bells in the beginning set the space a way nothing else can...just perfect. Taking a minute to quietly "watch the babies" - also a wonderful reminder that play *can* be quiet! Thanks for setting topics and also being flexible with them.

Dear Meggan
I just wanted to ensure you that we are very happy with the results. Jeff has now been going into Calvin's room with a bottle for the early morning wake up and Calvin has been sleeping in until 7 am or 7:30 am.
We could not have reached our sleeping goals without your help. I don't think we would have been able to persevere through that first night and/or the subsequent difficult nights to follow without your assistance. We feel like a new family. A happy, energized and well rested family.
I am sure that there will be bumps along the way, but things are much better and Calvin has learned a new skill. I have even noticed that when he is tired he will communicate that by lying his head down on the ground. It is so cute. It is as though he is showing off his new skill. Before, he never would have laid down all by himself.
So, thanks again. I am sure that we will contact you again in the future when we need help with other tough stages of parenting, and it is nice to know that we have you in our corner.

Meggan has been our lifesaver! We decided to work with Meggan when our 9 month old wouldn't stay asleep at night. We were a mess. Meggan was extremely knowledgeable about our daughter's developmental stages and sleep needs. She was able to navigate us through these rough waters with a clear, precise plan. She also gave us such great, much needed moral support. Now, we are much more confident parents when it comes to sleep. Thank you so much Meggan!!!
