About Independent Sleepers

Hi, I'm Selina!
I am a pediatric sleep coach, registered RN & newborn care specialist.

I am the founder of Independent Sleepers. I am a family-oriented mama and a goal-driven person that loves to get stuff done! I take great pride in serving my clients with the best personalized sleep plans that help them achieve their goals.

Motherhood should be enjoyable, manageable, and rested, but I know firsthand it can be everything else but that. You might be sleep-deprived, exhausted, unorganized, and unhappy because you can’t figure out how to get your child to sleep. Maybe it’s the short naps that drive you crazy, the interrupted nighttime sleep, or the toddler that climbs out of bed every night to sleep with you- but there is a solution!

If you are ready to go from barely surviving motherhood to a happy, rested child- it is time to make gentle changes and give you and your child the sleep that you deserve.

A little bit about me, my kids and my journey to creating Independent Sleepers:

I am 30 years old, born and raised in Europe/ Germany and bilingual.

I  switched my career from being a RN to a sleep coach. Why? Because my first child, Elliot was THE WORST sleeper. Jack and I were so sleep deprived our marriage was about to crumble. We were stuck in overtired cycles unable to fix his sleep issues. We weren’t getting past 27 min sleep cycles.

With a tons of education, school work and research later, I developed Independent Sleepers. My son is the one that sparked all this. Being a mom, I needed to develop a gentle approach to sleep training, so that’s how I came up with the plans that I provide my parents. Our approach is the most gentle and child oriented approach- especially designed for Velcro babies!

    Hi all! My name is Shelby and I am a certified pediatric sleep consultant. I have a two year old son, Grady. We had our challenges- sleep wise- in his early days which led me to sleep train him with Independent Sleepers. Like most parents, I was nervous, but once I saw how gentle and wonderful the process was, I fell in love with the experience! I was fortunate enough to be brought onto the team by Selina and Jack and having the opportunity to help other moms, dads, and caregivers get their sleep back has been one of the biggest blessings I could have ever dreamt of!

  • Pediatric Sleep Consultant

    My name is Alicia and I am a mama to a perfect little 1 year old boy named Charlie! While this little boy is my whole world, he came with some severe sleep challenges early on in life. He was diagnosed with colic, severe reflux, and multiple food allergies at a very young age making it very difficult for him to get the rest he deserved. I truly never thought I would be comfortable with any sleep training approach until I met Independent Sleepers! After such a beautiful journey, I had the incredible opportunity to join this team of strong mama’s. Becoming a pediatric sleep coach and helping so many other struggling mama’s has been one of the sweetest gifts of my life. The friendships and bonds formed are unmatched!
