Irene Gouge is the founder of Loving Lessons Sleep Solutions, a Family Sleep Coach and Postpartum Doula based in Holly Springs, NC, serving families with children from newborn through school age both locally and virtually. She's known for helping tired, anxious, and overwhelmed parents get more sleep by understanding what's actually keeping their child awake.
Irene's own path into this work started in her own season of sleep deprivation with her oldest son, realizing how much she needed support and how hard parenting truly is. That realization is still at the center of everything she does, a deep desire to walk alongside families rather than hand them a method and leave them Googling. She sees her work as holy ministry, an honor and a privilege to pray for and serve each family in her path, trusting that God is present in the exhausted 2am moments as much as anywhere else.
Through her signature program, the Calm & Confident SLEEP Foundation, a six-week small group coaching experience, Irene helps parents stop guessing and start understanding their child's sleep communication. Together, they pinpoint the root causes behind sleep disruptions, create a plan, and learn tools that build trust and respectful communication between parent and child. The result is rested, calm, confident parents and better sleep for the whole house.
She also offers 1:1 sleep coaching consultations for families who want more personalized support. As a postpartum doula, she offers in-home overnight and daytime support during those first weeks and months, helping parents establish feeding, build their little one's foundation for sleep, and learn to rest and care for themselves as they care for their growing family.
Her favorite verse is Galatians 5:22-23, the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. She believes the most loving lessons we learn as parents come when we're willing to grow in these fruits ourselves, and our children allow us to learn, grow, and heal alongside them. Outside of work, Irene can usually be found with family and friends, coffee in hand, listening to a favorite podcast or talking through new ideas over dessert. She loves the process of building, connecting, and serving in her local entrepreneurial, parenting, and faith community.
She can’t wait to help you lead your family to better sleep!
