Everyone goes through seasons in life when things keep them up at night. Women, especially mothers, seem to fall prey to this phenomenon. Insomnia Mom was founded by Vikki Duke, a full-time realtor and busy mom who knows firsthand what it’s like to juggle many balls in the air at once.
“Insomnia Mom is a concierge service and a one-stop solution for busy women,” she says. “I would have loved something like this when I first went back to work. It’s for women at every stage of life who are looking for resources. Insomnia Mom connects women with a concierge buffet of brilliant professionals that can supply the services they need. There is no membership needed; the over-a-dozen consultants are independent contractors. If someone has a specific need not covered by one of our consultants, then we will find one.”
After surveying a variety of age groups, a wide spectrum of consultants was assembled. The result is a menu of services that includes something for everyone. Health and wellness are covered, in addition to services to relieve the stress of daily living such as meal prep, organization, and creating a green and clean space. If your home needs an interior redesign or you need help with staging before selling, Insomnia Mom has the consultant.
Insomnia Mom also provides consultants to tackle the tough job of parenting. Resources are available for raising a child with ADHD. Mothers cherish sleep, so an important member of the contractor team is a certified pediatric sleep consultant. Those raising older children can find coaching regarding navigating college admissions, testing, and choosing college prep courses.
Insomnia Mom recognizes that many individuals are members of the sandwich generation; they are not only raising a family, but also responsible for overseeing the needs of senior relatives. A dementia navigation coach is offered. Additionally, a wellness coach and functional movement specialist can craft safe, customized exercise plans to increase functional mobility.
Women re-entering or currently in the workforce will find needed support. An employment readiness consultant is available who specializes in giving advice on choosing a career path, resumes, interviewing, networking and personal branding strategies. Another advisor can help women sharpen their communication abilities and methods. For those wanting to start or grow an existing business, the services of an entrepreneur advisor can be utilized. There is also a leadership specialist for improving management skills.
Each month, Insomnia Mom hosts workshops and events held at COhatch Zionsville and other nearby locations. Examples of past workshops are Tech Neck: Solutions for Alleviating the Symptoms of Screens, and Sitting and Bedtime Books; Creating a Healthy Sleep Book for Mommy and Me. A popular social event was Succulents, Charcuterie and Champagne. Upcoming workshops and events can be viewed on the official website, and registration is required.
Tutoring services are also offered. Subject areas include language arts and math for grades three through eight. Orton-Gillingham reading for grades one through five, virtual Spanish lessons for all ages, and virtual writing and editing for grades kindergarten through nine are other courses. Requests can be submitted via the Insomnia Mom website.
