The Mama Coach
If you are looking for evidence-informed support with women’s health, pregnancy, newborns, sleep, parenting, and/or potty training please reach out ➡️ We can't wait to help! I have personally been working with moms and babies as a Registered Nurse since 2005 during my time in labour, delivery, and postpartum as well as in private practice. After having my first son in 2008, I was privy to all of t
Does your baby have a white coating in their mouth? 🤍
Sometimes it's simply milk residue. Other times, it could be oral thrush—and knowing the difference can help you get the right treatment sooner.
If you're breastfeeding and your baby has thrush, it's important that both you and your baby are treated to help prevent the infection from passing back and forth.
If you're unsure what you're seeing or feeding has become uncomfortable, it's worth getting assessed rather than trying to figure it out on your own.
Save this reel for later and share it with another parent who might find it helpful.

One of the biggest myths about sleep training is that you'll be chained to your baby's crib or following a rigid schedule forever.
I'm a Type B mom, a Registered Nurse, and a sleep consultant—and I embraced naps on the go. My kids napped in the car, in the stroller, and while we were out living life. Life didn't stop because of nap time.
What sleep training actually gave me was confidence.
Confidence to read my baby's cues.
Confidence to know when to stick to the plan and when to be flexible.
Confidence to create a rhythm that worked for our family—not someone else's.
That's exactly what I help families build.
Not a perfect schedule you have to follow to the minute.
A flexible, evidence-based foundation that supports your baby's sleep while still making room for real life.
Because a sleep plan you can actually live with is so much better than a perfect one you can't.

There is so much noise in the parenting world.
You have an algorithm full of opinions, a Notes app full of questions for your next provider appointment, and a moms' group thread that somehow left you more confused than when you started.
You don't need more information. You need one trusted person who can cut through the noise and actually get to know you and your baby.
That's why I built my practice the way I did.
I'm Kira, a Registered Nurse, mom of two, and sleep and lactation consultant here in Calgary. And I work a little differently than most.
I have time for full assessments. Not a 20-minute appointment with a PDF handed to you, but a real look at what's actually going on with your baby and your family before we make a plan.
I have time for your questions. And when you think of another one at 2 a.m., you can send me an email without shame or judgment.
My support doesn't end when your appointment does. My packages are built around follow-up because babies don't stop changing when the visit is over.
As a Registered Nurse, I'm held to a professional standard of care that goes beyond opinions and trends. You're not getting generic advice. You're getting a personalized clinical assessment from someone who is regulated, accountable, and focused on your family's unique needs.
You don't have to wait weeks to discuss one concern. And when we do meet, you won't receive a plan designed for someone else's baby. You'll receive one built specifically for yours.
I support families from pregnancy through the newborn stage, feeding challenges, sleep transitions, and everything in between. My goal is to be one trusted nurse who grows with your family, instead of passing you from one specialist to another every time something changes.
If this is the kind of support you've been looking for, welcome. You're in the right place.
