About Me

Ailish's Holistic Parenting & Sleep Coaching

Hello! I’m Ailish, a passionate Reiki Master, holistic sleep coach, HypnoBirthing Instructor, mother, and advocate for conscious living. I’m deeply committed to supporting families through their unique parenting journeys, helping them build strong connections, and guiding them to a place of balance, healing, and growth.

As a homeschooling mom with a family of my own, I understand how overwhelming parenting can be, especially when it comes to sleep, birth preparation, and early childhood development. From the moment I became a mother, I was on a mission to approach parenting with love, patience, and mindfulness, which naturally led me to the powerful world of holistic sleep coaching, Reiki, and transformative birth coaching. My personal journey has taught me the immense value of slowing down, listening to the wisdom of our bodies, and being present with the energy around us. I bring this philosophy into my work with families, helping parents navigate the challenges of gentle sleep coaching, conscious parenting, holistic health, and family well-being.

My Why:

I believe in a world where children feel loved, heard, and supported through every step of their development, and where parents are empowered to trust their instincts and make decisions that align with their values.

My journey as a Reiki Master, Holistic Sleep Coach, Birth and Postpartum Doula, and Childbirth Educator began out of my own desire to provide my family with the best possible care and emotional well-being while honoring the environment around us. It was also sparked by countless hours spent helping other families, offering gentle guidance, and empowering them to co-create peaceful and restful sleep routines with their children. Sleep issues are some of the most common struggles new parents face, and I wanted to provide a space where gentle sleep training, attachment-centered techniques, and holistic tools could flourish.

What truly fills my heart is seeing families transform. It’s more than just teaching kids to sleep—it’s about creating strong, loving relationships that build trust, encourage independence, and allow for the self-regulation that helps everyone get the restful sleep they deserve. This is why I am deeply passionate about creating customized, family-centered sleep plans that meet the specific needs of your unique situation.

As a loss mom who has experienced the heartbreak of 6 miscarriages, my journey has been one of deep emotional growth, resilience, and profound healing. The pain of loss has shaped the way I approach conscious conception, especially now in my 40s. I’ve learned to honor my body, trust in the process, and reconnect with my intuition, creating space for healing and hope. Through this path, I’ve come to understand the importance of nurturing both the physical and emotional aspects of conception, allowing me to guide others with compassion and wisdom as they embark on their own journeys to parenthood.

My Loves:

I love being a mom, so grateful for my miracle rainbow babe. I’m a lover of nature—whether it’s hiking, gardening, or simply walking outside to reconnect with the earth, I find deep peace in the natural world. I’m passionate about holistic health, including herbalism, and believe in the power of plants to heal and nurture. My love for creativity flows through my home, where you’ll often find me crafting with my daughter or tending to my ever-growing collection of houseplants. Sustainability, mindfulness, and intentional living are the cornerstones of how I approach life, and I’m committed to passing that down to the next generation.

My Dreams:

My ultimate dream is to create a Holistic Wellness and retreat center and dedicated teaching space in Ireland—a place where families, birth workers, and parents can come together for immersive, hands-on learning experiences. I envision a space where we can grow, learn, and heal together—whether it’s through birth education, sleep coaching, or holistic wellness.

I dream of helping families create lasting memories with their children while nurturing connections and encouraging positive change in the world. Through my work, I hope to inspire others to trust their instincts, embrace a conscious parenting approach, and feel empowered to make the best choices for their family’s well-being. Together, we can build stronger connections with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

My Approach

As a perinatal coach and consultant, my goal is to guide parents with the necessary tools to confidently and intuitively parent right from the start. With extensive experience and education, I strive to provide holistic support and education to help you navigate the challenges of pregnancy and parenting from infancy to preschool.


Discovering My Passion for Childbirth and Motherhood

Finding one's calling can happen at any age, and for me, it was a journey of self-discovery. I discovered my love for birth work when I hired a doula and eventually joined a collective, where I gained an immense amount of knowledge and wisdom.

I became certified in a variety of areas, including HypnoBirthing® instruction, Holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula, Holistic Birth Consultant and Family Advocate, Spinning Babies®, Gena Kirby® Rebozo Workshop, Evidence-based birth, and MotherWit Postpartum education. I continued to expand my knowledge and now offer Transformational Birth Coaching, completed a Holistic Independent Midwifery Education program, and a 12-week Reiki Master program. Last year, I also completed Karuna 2 Reiki, and this year, I am on a 6-month journey to hone my intuitive skills connecting with Spirit Babies to help people with conscious conception.

My goal is to share my knowledge and experience with others so we can change the narrative on fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, de-colonize our parenting, and help others find more connection and community.

The Power of Energy Work


I am passionate about Reiki and its power to promote relaxation and healing. I now teach other birth workers about this modality so that more people have access to it during the perinatal phase. Reiki can help with anxiety, insomnia, pain, swelling, issues during labor, postpartum healing, and so much more. Not to mention an essential tool for stress reduction during Pregnancy After Loss, Miscarriage, and Infertility Support

Pivoting My Business to Meet New Needs

I recently transitioned my business to a hybrid model of care, offering both in-person and virtual services to reach more people and change the conversation surrounding birth and postpartum. I specialize in helping families establish healthy sleep habits and independence from infancy to preschool. As a certified sleep consultant, I have developed a curriculum and have helped hundreds of families reconnect and get the rest they need.​ I am now offering group sleep coaching as to relearn how to
