Helping Families Thrive Through Holistic Sleep & Postpartum Support
Today’s Graduate Spotlight celebrates Sandra Ochoa, founder of Happy Nest Center, an IPHI-certified Holistic Pregnancy & Child Sleep Consultant, DONA-certified Postpartum Doula, and mother of twins based in New Jersey, USA.
Sandra provides holistic sleep and postpartum support in both English and Spanish, helping families build healthy sleep habits while navigating the early weeks and months of parenthood with greater confidence and connection.
Supporting Families Beyond Sleep
Sandra understands that healthy sleep begins with supporting the whole family.
As both a postpartum doula and holistic sleep consultant, she understands that a baby’s sleep is influenced by far more than bedtime routines alone. Physical health, emotional well-being, family relationships, environment, feeding, and parental confidence all play an important role.
Her work reflects the holistic philosophy she studied through the International Parenting & Health Institute, where she learned to evaluate the many interconnected factors that influence infant and child sleep.
A Holistic Approach to Sleep
Sandra completed the Holistic Pregnancy & Child Sleep Consultant Certification through the International Parenting & Health Institute (IPHI) in 2019.
Her education provided a multidisciplinary understanding of infant and child sleep, exploring topics including child development, nutrition, breastfeeding, emotional well-being, family dynamics, sleep environments, and the many lifestyle factors that contribute to healthy sleep.
Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions, Sandra partners with parents to develop individualized sleep plans built on trust, connection, and respect for each family’s unique circumstances.
Combining Sleep & Postpartum Care
Sandra’s work is further strengthened by her certification as a Postpartum Doula through DONA International.
Supporting families during the postpartum period allows her to guide parents through much more than sleep alone. She provides physical, emotional, and educational support as families adjust to life with a newborn, helping parents feel empowered during one of life’s biggest transitions.
As the mother of twins herself, Sandra also brings personal understanding to the challenges and joys of early parenthood.
Serving Families in English & Spanish
Through Happy Nest Center, Sandra offers consultations in both English and Spanish, making holistic sleep and postpartum education accessible to an even broader community of families.
She begins every relationship with a complimentary consultation, giving parents the opportunity to learn how holistic sleep support and postpartum guidance can help their family move beyond simply surviving and begin thriving.
