Holding Others While Healing Herself
Some stories are shaped not by ease, but by endurance.
By the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up while carrying more than most people ever see.
For Elaine Harvey, motherhood, healing, and purpose are deeply intertwined, formed through years of lived experience, professional devotion, and an unwavering commitment to doing things differently.
We hold space for stories like Elaine’s, where care is not performative, healing is not linear, and thriving becomes a conscious, hard-won choice.
Breaking Cycles With Intention and Care
Elaine did not grow up with the safety and nurture every child deserves.
Her early years were marked by trauma, emotional absence, and a deep longing for stability.
Long before she became a mother, she made a decision that would shape everything that followed.
The cycle would end with her.
Years of therapy, study, and inner work prepared her to parent with intention, connection, and presence.
Motherhood became both the challenge and the catalyst for healing decades of trauma.
As a single parent raising an ADHD daughter while navigating her own CPTSD, Elaine learned what it truly means to regulate, repair, and rebuild safety from the inside out.
That journey shaped not only who she became as a mother, but who she is as a guide for other parents walking through the most vulnerable season of their lives.
Real Support for Real Families
With over twenty two years of experience and more than twenty thousand families supported globally, Elaine brings a rare depth to her work as a pediatric sleep specialist and early parenting mentor.
Her approach is attachment based, holistic, and deeply human. She does not offer rigid schedules or cry it out methods.
She offers attuned support that meets families where they are.
Lullababy SOS was born from this lived understanding.
From the exhaustion of sleep deprivation.
From the grief of secondary infertility and failed IVF cycles.
From holding space for new life while quietly carrying loss.
Elaine knows that parenting is never just logistical.
It is emotional, physical, and deeply relational.
Her work helps parents move beyond survival, creating calm, connected routines that support not only the child, but the parent too.
Learning That Care Requires Boundaries
The most difficult chapter in Elaine’s business was not building it.
It was learning how to stay well while running it.
For years, her work revolved around overnight consultations, late night calls, and being the calm for families at their breaking point.
At the same time, she was raising her daughter, managing a growing business, and carrying invisible grief few people saw.
As a natural people pleaser, she gave deeply.
Too deeply.
Her empathy served her clients beautifully, but it came at a cost to her body and nervous system.
Burnout arrived more than once, until her body finally demanded what she would not choose willingly.
Rest could no longer wait.
That reckoning reshaped everything.
How she works. How she supports families.
How she models care.
Today, she still brings deep presence to her clients, but she also protects her energy, her health, and her life beyond the work.
Her approach is now grounded in sustainability, realism, and compassion for both the parent seeking support and the professional offering it.
Elaine’s story reminds us that being deeply supportive does not mean self erasing.
That impact without boundaries leads to depletion.
And that true success is not heroic endurance, but the capacity to be well enough to enjoy the life you are building.
At Reignelle, we honor women like Elaine who choose to lead with integrity, pace, and humanity.
Who understand that thriving includes the caregiver too.
And who show us that healing is not only something we teach, but something we must continually practice ourselves.
