General
My goal is to work with you and accomplish your goals for your child’s sleep. I provide encouragement, helpful advice and a structured plan that give you exact steps to be successful. My goal is not creating a one size fits all because all babies and families are different and have different desires and needs. You will not be alone in this sleep journey.
Helping babies and toddlers sleep can feel like a puzzling and tiring experience. It is also very lonely! Sometimes there is just one small component that makes all the difference. That is where I come in. Books and articles are helpful but sometimes you just don’t know where to turn. I can help understand what is going on and make adjustments so you and baby get the sleep you need to feel your best and we can do it in a matter of a few days to a few weeks.
This gives parents an immediate way to recognize themselves. You could mention things like:Frequent night wakingsShort napsDifficulty falling asleepEarly morning wakingBedtime strugglesContact sleepFeeding-to-sleepRocking or bouncing to sleepTransitioning from a crib or other sleep changes
First we do a Discovery Call to talk about your sleeping experience with your child and what your aspirations are. You also have some time to get to know me and how we will work together. If it makes sense, we will talk about the packages in more detail. Once you select a package, I will send you a questionnaire to share more detailed information about your child’s sleep and I will use this to create your personal sleep plan. We will plan a day to start and communicate throughout the process and make changes if needed.
I always suggest for parents to confirm with their pediatrician about stopping nighttime feeds before we move forward with with those changes. Typically, babies are ok to sleep through the night by 6 months. It could be earlier or a little later.
Wake windows are how much time a baby is awake during the day between naps. The appropriate amount of wake time and sleep time is important to make sure a child falls asleep quickly and is able to get true restorative sleep. Daily routines and lengths of naps and wake time are essential to have to reach great sleep at night.
Absolutely. Helping your child learn independent sleep does not mean taking away the love, comfort, or connection they need from you.My approach is centered around supporting your child while they learn new sleep skills. You can be present, offer reassurance, and respond to your child throughout the process. We’ll work together to find an approach that feels comfortable for both you and your child.Learning to sleep independently is a skill, not a separation from you. Your child will continue to know they are safe, loved, and supported while learning a new way to fall asleep.My goal is never simply to get your child to sleep—it’s to help your family create healthier, more restful sleep habits while maintaining the connection and closeness that are so important.
Crying is a form of communication for babies and toddlers. However, you will not be leaving your child for extended periods of time waiting for the crying to stop. My certification is in association fading and an approach that allows you to be with your child as they learn independent sleep. Sleep training does not cause any harm when done correctly. Sleeping independently is a a great skill and something everyone can benefit from as they grow. Your child will learn self-soothing skills, gain important hours of rest for mental and physical development, and allow them to feel rested and ready for a pleasant days. You will also notice that it helps you as a parent feel successful and rested when your child is sleeping.
Successful independent sleep looks different for everyone but, based on your child’s age, it should take 7 days to 4 weeks to be fully falling asleep and staying asleep alone.
That’s the great part! I can help you anywhere in the USA.
