Meet Samantha (& Kaizer!)

I'm Samantha Oyler, founder of Maternal Menace and a pediatric sleep consultant dedicated to helping exhausted families find rest. My journey into sleep consulting began with my own son, whose sleep challenges led me down a path of research, trial and error, and ultimately a completely different understanding of what healthy sleep can look like for children.

As an AuDHD mother of a non-speaking autistic child, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel when traditional advice doesn't work. After spending nearly a year developing strategies that helped my own family, I realized many parents were facing the same challenges with nowhere to turn for individualized support.

Maternal Menace was created to help families move from chaos to calm through practical, personalized, and neurodivergent-affirming sleep guidance.

Why Maternal Menace?

Maternal Menace (noun): A mother who will stop at nothing to protect, advocate for, and support her child. Often fueled by caffeine, determination, and the refusal to accept "that's just the way it is" as an answer. Known symptoms include:

  • Researching at 2 a.m.

  • Questioning outdated advice

  • Fighting for accommodations

  • Solving problems nobody else can solve

  • Loving fiercely and advocating relentlessly
