About Semi-Crunchy Mama

San Diego, CA 

Stacy Spensley, a coach, teacher, and mom of 3 kids, runs Semi-Crunchy Mama. Above all, Stacy strives to help parents in their journey. She offers coaching, classes, and community to help normalize the hard parts of raising small children. Additionally, she helps parents avoid the “Mommy Wars.” So they figure out natural, effective methods and practices to help with parenting. Stacy teaches parents to trust themselves and follow their intuition with less stress and pressure. She is passionate about helping families feed their kids healthy foods, learn body autonomy, and try baby-led weaning. She is also a breastfeeding advocate. Stacy believes that no one right way of parenting exists. Rather, all parents should be educated to make the best decisions for themselves, whatever that may be.

Services

Stacy Spensley provides one-on-one coaching for moms worldwide. She also heads Mom School, a place where moms can find guidance and help with values and priorities. If moms need guidance on specific feeding questions, Stacy offers online courses! Parents can download them to watch at their convenience.

Stacy strives to make life easier by offering support and coaching to parents so they have the tools and information they need to be successful. Stacy also offers a free workbook of topics to bring up before the baby arrives. In the Semi-Crunchy Mama Club, there are Mighty Networks to choose from that include weekly prompts, monthly themes, and access via desktop or mobile app.

She is a coach for parents who want to make informed decisions for their families. She offers curated resources and judgment-free support so parents can feel less alone. Her individual coaching, classes, and other services support parents as they raise their kids and also make time for self-care. Parent coaching is ideal for parents who feel overwhelmed, face criticism, need stronger boundaries, have lost their identity, need self-care, deal with mom guilt, neglect themselves, or feel alone in parenthood. Stacy works with families anywhere on the crunchy spectrum, from unmedicated birth to breastfeeding or chestfeeding, to respectful sleep solutions, to home remedies, to gentle parenting, to communication with your partner after having a baby.

Specialty

Semi-Crunchy Mama strives to help parents avoid falling into the trap of being a Martyr Mom. A mom that is constantly taking care of everyone except themselves until resentment builds up. Stacy offers a free self-care kit to help parents avoid being overwhelmed and take care of their own needs. 

The Semi-Crunchy Mama podcast includes interviews on a variety of topics about parenting and personal development with a semi-crunchy spin. Stacy doesn’t want to tell parents what to do. Rather, she teaches them to make educated decisions that work for their individual family instead of simply following mainstream advice. This podcast is full of great information for families of all kinds.
