Welcome to the Joy Parenting Club, where new parents can find helpful guidance, support from experts, and useful strategies for your family.
Katie Beneke grew up in Connecticut and now lives in Vermont with her husband and two children. Katie currently works as a paralegal in the General Counsel’s office at the University of Vermont. Katie has worked in the legal field for over ten years in a variety of different capacities and practice areas ranging from real estate to family law. She believes in being open and honest about the struggles that come with being a parent. Through Joy Parenting Club, she hopes to make new parents feel less alone and be able to provide the support she so desperately needed after having her first child. In between juggling the demands of work and motherhood (and everything in between), Katie enjoys being in nature, swimming, and cooking. She looks forward to hearing from you!
Maddie is the single mother of two beautiful, maniac free-spirited little girls who challenge and inspire her daily. And by inspire, she means inspired to help other moms because it ain't easy, friends! Her journey to motherhood was long and complicated, and she feels lucky to be in a position to help other parents through the new parenthood experience. She has volunteered at multiple Boston hospitals as a new parent mentor and is currently studying to become a doula. She lives outside of Boston with her kids, their dog, and soon, her parents too (hit her up for tips on managing boundaries with grandma and grandpa!). She and Katie have been best friends since they were 12 years old, and are so grateful to be on the mom journey together. Ask Maddie about funny Katie stories when you need a good laugh at the 2 am newborn feeding!

A dedicated mother of four spirited youngsters (with a set of twins in there), Heidi embarked on the parenthood journey post-dissertation completion. Unexpectedly facing the challenge of raising two under two, she embraced the twists of fate. A seasoned Pediatric Sleep Consultant, her role encompasses comprehensive assistance in the postnatal and newborn stages.
As a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, she draws from personal experiences. Her path encompassed infertility, miscarriage, high-risk pregnancy, NICU struggles, and sleep hurdles. Reflecting on her transformative voyage into and through parenthood, she realized the value of sleep guidance. Now, she stands in as the guide she wished for during her own challenges. With a wealth of research, she lends an empathetic ear to current struggles, offering insightful sessions.

Sandra Ochoa is a Bilingual Holistic Baby Sleep Consultant and Postpartum Support Specialist on a mission to help babies sleep and new parents thrive.
Her passion was ignited when she experienced the challenges of sleep deprivation herself after the arrival of her twins in 2016. Since then, Sandra has supported hundreds of tired families, helping them successfully achieve their sleep goals through her dynamic workshops and personalized sleep programs.
When working with families, Sandra combines the science of sleep with a holistic approach to provide mindful solutions to families with children ranging from newborn to six years old. She understands that the journey to waking up refreshed and well-rested is a unique journey for every family and tailors her guidance accordingly.
When she is not supporting parents, you can find her spending time with her kids and family, listening to inspirational books or indulging her inner foodie at a restaurant. Sandra has a special love for kids and animals, and her favorite places are the pool or the sea.
At Joy, we know that parenting comes with endless questions and there isn’t a one stop shop for expert-backed answers. The Joy Parenting Club provides just that- a full library of written and video content built to answer all of the questions swirling through your head, and when you can’t find what you’re looking for, we have certified experts just a text away to provide personalized advice just for you and your family.
Joy Parenting Club is made up of Parent Coaches who specialize in understanding and validating the new parenting journey as well as certified sleep and lactation/feeding experts who have worked with thousands of families in creating personalized, easy to implement plans and routines. Joy Parenting Club is available around the clock, so you truly never feel alone.
Your Parent Coach is best suited to answer questions related to general baby care, tips and tricks for new parents, advice, support, or recommendations. Our expert team can answer any question that falls into the categories of infant sleep/sleeplessness, lactation, breast/chestfeeding, formula feeding, and other subtopics of feeding and sleep. Joy Parenting Club is not a replacement for diagnostic or medical advice. If any question asked relates to the health and well being of a baby or parent, the Joy Parenting Club team will recommend you seek professional medical advice or support. Examples of questions we will not support are: “My baby has a fever, what should I do?” “My baby has been inconsolable for hours, what should I do?”
We partner with Joy to make sure parents feel supported beyond their photo shoot, and into the months and years to come with their baby. You may purchase membership to the Joy Parenting Club along with your photo package or on its own.
