“Wow, has Larissa’s sleep coaching been a game changer for me and my family! She helped us with our baby by creating a thoughtful, detailed, practical, and flexible plan catered to the temperament and needs of my family. We went from 3+ night wakings and naps only in our arms, to sleeping through the night and naps in the crib within days of implementing her easy-to-follow plan. I truly appreciate her extensive knowledge as a RN and warm, non-judgmental approach, which is invaluable. Thank you Larissa!”

“I called Larissa in a panic that my week old baby wasn’t getting enough milk & that breastfeeding had become extremely painful. The next morning she was at my house helping me figure out a better breastfeeding position and latch for my newborn. What had worked with baby #1 was not the same with baby #2. Within a day or two of meeting with her baby & I were in a breastfeeding groove- he had started gaining lots of weight & I was no longer in pain!! Highly recommend Larissa.”

“Larissa has helped me tremendously with my 8 week old son. We purchased the newborn support package when he was 4 weeks old, which gave us tips in all areas! She is so kind, passionate, understanding, and knowledgeable. Every piece of advice she has given us has been helpful for our boy. (And for my first time mom anxiety – ha!) Can’t thank her enough! Highly recommend. 🙂 Thanks Larissa!”
– Deanna
“From our very first call Larissa made me feel so comfortable and supported. Before our call my newborn was only sleeping in my arms and that night with Larissa’s help we got him to sleep a long stretch in his bassinet. I worked with Larissa for 12 weeks and it was so comforting knowing I could send her an email any time of day and I’d get her expert advice, usually within hours. Our weekly phone calls were so helpful and exactly what I needed as a first time mom and it was a bonus that she’s just a cool person who was nice to chat with. I can’t recommend her enough!“
– Kim
“I absolutely loved working with Larissa. She was so helpful with lactation and sleep support right after baby was born and at 5 months and beyond! She was so kind, caring, knowledge and supportive. I couldn’t imagine having breastfed without her guidance, and the sleep program has given me nights of full sleep and easy and non distressing nap and bedtime routines.”

Frequently asked questions
As a Registered Nurse, I approach every situation through the framework of the holistic nursing process. This means that I look at the whole picture when coming up with strategies to help you reach your sleep goals. I assess feeding, weight gain, development, their sleep environment, and your parenting style. When we address each piece of the puzzle instead of just one part, that’s how we will find success!
At The Mama Coach we tailor each sleep plan to each individual family. The sleep training method will depend on your child’s age, how they respond to reassurance, and what you are comfortable with as parents. I like to focus on teaching independent sleep skills, rather than forcing the elimination of night feedings. This approach allows a baby to decide when they are ready to stop eating at night, and usually results in a baby dropping most or all of their feedings on their own. In general, there is some crying involved in my sleep programs. The level of parental response to the crying is what will vary depending on the family. This is not Cry It Out, but rather giving a child appropriate reassurance while still allowing them the space to learn the important skill of independent sleep!
Once you book, I’ll send you an intake questionnaire, so I can get to know your child and start creating their plan! The questionnaire must be submitted at least 48 hours in advance of your consult time. During your virtual consult, we will go over your child’s sleep plan in detail. I ask that families begin the Sleep Program within 7 days of the consult. You will receive a link to a private sleep log, which is how I will review your child’s progress. In addition to the sleep log, you will receive my guidance and reassurance for the entire support period based on the package you choose.
My lactation services may be covered under your Out-of-Network benefits. I will provide you with a Super Bill for you to submit to your insurance company, and depending on your coverage they will reimburse you directly. Prenatal Classes may also be reimbursed by your insurance. Because I am a Registered Nurse, you can use your HSA/FSA cards for any of my services.
Ideally in the third trimester, before 36 weeks.
I provide in-home Lactation Support, Newborn Support, and Private Prenatal Classes in the Westchester, NY area. I see clients virtually all over the United States for Sleep Coaching, Virtual Feeding Consults, and Live Classes!
I am fully vaccinated and am currently providing in-home services. I am always masked, and wear gloves when handling a newborn during a lactation consult. COVID symptom screening is required prior to your in-home appointment. Virtual consults are also available for most services if you would prefer.
