About Me
Compassionate Support for Pregnancy, Postpartum, & Parenthood
Hello, I’m Cheyenne Nava — a certified postpartum doula, educator, sleep specialist, and mother with more than a decade of firsthand experience navigating motherhood.
My work began in hands-on overnight postpartum care. For years, I’ve had the privilege of stepping into families’ homes during one of the most vulnerable and transformative seasons of their lives — caring for newborns, supporting recovering mothers, and walking alongside parents as they learned their babies.
Over time, I began to recognize something important: families don’t just need someone to care for them. They need someone who helps them feel confident caring for themselves and their babies.
That realization shaped the way I practice today.
Through years of working closely with newborns and infants, I developed a particular passion for sleep. I learned to recognize babies’ changing rhythms, anticipate their needs, and help families establish healthy, sustainable sleep habits through gentle, responsive approaches. That work eventually grew beyond newborn care into sleep education and support for families throughout childhood.
But my philosophy extends far beyond sleep.
I believe parents deserve compassionate, evidence-based education throughout pregnancy and postpartum — without fear, judgment, or being told there is only one “right” way to parent. My role is not to replace your instincts. It is to help you understand your options, recognize what your baby is communicating, and feel confident trusting yourself.
As both a mother and a professional, I understand how vulnerable this season can feel. Pregnancy, birth, recovery, feeding, sleep, and caring for a new baby can bring an overwhelming amount of information and opinions. I meet families where they are, listen to what matters to them, and provide practical guidance that respects their values, circumstances, and unique family dynamic.
Today, my work brings together everything those years have taught me — pregnancy and postpartum education, labor preparation, hands-on postpartum care, virtual support, and family sleep education — with one goal at the center of it all:
For you to feel supported enough to trust yourself.
