Hi, I’m Selina!
I’m a pediatric sleep coach, registered nurse, and newborn care specialist—and the founder of Independent Sleepers. As a family-oriented mama and a goal-getter, I’m passionate about helping families achieve peaceful, restorative sleep through personalized sleep plans tailored to their unique needs.
Motherhood should be joyful, manageable, and full of rest. But I know all too well how it can feel like the opposite—exhausting, overwhelming, and frustrating when your little one struggles with sleep. Whether you’re battling short, unpredictable naps, sleepless nights, or a toddler who insists on climbing into your bed, I’m here to tell you: there’s a solution!
If you’re ready to transition from merely surviving motherhood to thriving with a happy, well-rested child, it’s time to make gentle changes. You and your little one deserve the rest you need.
A bit about me and the journey to creating Independent Sleepers:
I’m 30 years old, born and raised in Germany, and proudly bilingual. My path to becoming a sleep coach began with my own struggles as a mom. When my first child, Elliot, was born, he was the worst sleeper. My husband, Jack, and I were utterly sleep-deprived, stuck in endless cycles of overtiredness, and watching our marriage strain under the pressure. At one point, Elliot couldn’t get past 27-minute sleep cycles, and we were desperate for a solution.
Determined to find answers, I poured myself into research, education, and training. From those sleepless nights, Independent Sleepers was born. I developed a gentle, child-centered approach to sleep training that works—even for Velcro babies! My experience as a mom and a professional drives me to provide families with compassionate, effective solutions, so everyone can wake up happy, rested, and thriving.
Let’s work together to bring calm and rest back to your home—you’re not alone on this journey!

Hi, I’m Alicia!
I’m a pediatric sleep consultant and, most importantly, the proud mama of my sweet 1-year-old son, Charlie. Charlie has brought so much joy into my life, but he also brought some significant challenges early on. From the moment he was diagnosed with colic, severe reflux, and multiple food allergies, restful sleep felt like an unreachable goal for our family. Nights were long, days were exhausting, and I struggled to find a solution that felt right for us.
Like many parents, I was wary of sleep training. I didn’t think I’d ever find an approach that matched my values and Charlie’s unique needs—until I discovered Independent Sleepers. Working with their team was a game-changer. Their compassionate, child-centered approach not only helped Charlie find the rest he so desperately needed but also gave me the confidence and tools to navigate those early months with more ease.
The experience was so transformative that it inspired me to join the team myself. I knew I wanted to be part of helping other families find the peace and rest we’d achieved. Becoming a pediatric sleep consultant has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life. It’s a privilege to guide parents through their own journeys, offering not just sleep solutions but also hope, encouragement, and a reminder that they’re not alone.
One of the most beautiful parts of this role is the connections I’ve made. Supporting families, celebrating their victories, and building bonds with other moms and dads has been deeply rewarding. Each family’s journey is unique, and I’m honored to play a part in making their lives easier, brighter, and more rested.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure about how to improve your little one’s sleep, I’m here for you. Together, we’ll create a personalized, gentle plan that works for your family, so you and your baby can finally enjoy the restful nights and happy days you both deserve. Let’s take this journey together—you don’t have to do it alone!
Our mission is to help little ones and their caregivers get the rest they need, making parenthood more joyful and full of cherished moments
“I feel we have an even stronger bond after our journey because we went through it together and supported each other the whole process.”
