About — Lindsey Ryan Coaching

I believe parenting is one of the most meaningful and challenging things we do. There will be moments when we feel confident in our choices and moments when we question everything. None of us gets it right all the time, and we shouldn’t have to figure it all out alone.

I believe our children need both connection and boundaries, and that we as parents deserve that same compassion and grace we work so hard to give our kids.

My work is rooted in helping families understand one another, find what works for them, and move through the hard seasons with more confidence, connection, and grace.

That’s the heart behind Parenting with Divine Grace.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Lindsey, a wife, a mom of two daughters, and dog mom to our 10-year-old doodle, Cali. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, my family and I have called the Bay Area home for the past three years. I love staying active, exploring new places, and spending meaningful time with my family and friends.

I am a PCI Certified Parent Coach® and Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant through the Center for Sleep Management, with a BA in Children’s Studies. I have spent the past 20 years working alongside children, adolescents, and families in a variety of professional roles.

Throughout my career, I have advocated for children and partnered with parents to provide guidance, support, and practical tools to help families thrive.

My passion is helping parents feel more confident and connected while navigating the everyday challenges of raising children. Through parent coaching and sleep consulting, I help families build stronger relationships, create sustainable routines, and find solutions that honor their unique children and family dynamics.

I also bring personal and professional experience with fostering and adoption, giving me a deeper understanding that every child and family has their own story.

My approach is rooted in connection, compassion, and grace because parenting was never meant to be done alone.

The story behind
the name

Becoming a parent coach didn’t come from having all the answers or mastering motherhood. It came from learning, growing, and evolving alongside my own children.

Inspired by my daughters’ middle names, Divine and Grace, Parenting with Divine Grace became the foundation of my approach: leading with love, offering grace, and creating space for both parents and children to learn and grow.

Through Lindsey Ryan Coaching, I’m here to offer practical tools, compassionate support, and guidance that meets your family where you are.

I’m honored to partner with you through the challenges and joys of parenthood, helping you feel more connected, confident, and supported along the way.

PARENT COACHING

Infant through age 6.
Sleep consulting can support challenges including bedtime struggles, night wakings, early mornings, naps, sleep associations, transitions, and establishing healthy sleep routines.
No. Every child and family is different. Your personalized plan will take into account your child’s age, temperament, current sleep patterns, your goals, and your comfort level.
Some children may cry or protest as they learn a new sleep skill, and that’s completely normal. I do not use a cry-it-out approach. Instead, I use responsive, supportive methods that allow your child to practice independent sleep while knowing they are safe, loved, and supported. I’ll help you understand what to expect, choose an approach that feels right for your family, and confidently respond to your child throughout the process.
Yes. Sleep support can be tailored to breastfeeding families while continuing to respect your child’s nutritional needs and your breastfeeding relationship.
That’s exactly why ongoing support is included. We’ll troubleshoot what you’re seeing and make adjustments when appropriate.
