Here are the top 7 reasons why!

My approach is a good fit if….

• You’re willing to maintain a consistent daily routine for your child

• You’re willing to allow some amount of crying as your child adjusts to changes

• You’re open to your child sleeping in their own sleep space

Even If They Are…

• EBF

• Cosleeping or room-sharing

• Preemie

• Needing to keep a night feed

• Attached to the pacifier or don’t take one

• Not used to sleeping independently

• “Strong-willed”, have cried for a long time in past sleep training attempts

• Have reflux/colic/gas

• In daycare

• Traveling often

• Multiples

If you implement the recommendations and utilize the support available to you, and your child’s sleep does not improve…you are entitled to a refund.

• Simple: a simple, step-by-step written sleep plan, instead of having to watch hours and hours of video content

• Gradual: We gradually ease your child into better sleep habits instead of immediately requiring independent sleep from the start. We prepare them before working on independent sleep.

• Long-Lasting: You will learn the tools to support your child in maintaining healthy sleep habits for years to come, thru regressions, sickness, travel, dropping naps, etc.

• Emotionally-Supportive: Supporting your child in moving away from unsustainable sleep habits can be an emotional process, and so I bring my degree and experience in Mental Health Counseling to talk through the anxiety that you may be feeling around your child’s sleep

• Personalized: I take your family’s lifestyle and your child’s unique needs into consideration with each recommendation instead of a one-size-fits-all approach

• More Support: we chat via 1:1 Zoom calls so that you feel supported every step of the way.

If your child is consistently getting less than an adequate amount of sleep each day…it’s time to get some help. It doesn’t have to be this way. You and your child both need adequate sleep to be at your best.

So what’s adequate? 17-20 hours per 24 hour day for newborns, 14-17 for infants, and 12-14 for toddlers/preschoolers.

Having some guidance and support can be an invaluable investment in the physical, emotional and relational health of your entire family.

Could you research sleep training and do it on your own? For sure. But there’s SO MUCH confusing and contradictory info out there about pediatric sleep that’s it’s hard to know which method to do. I’m here to filter thru all of it for you and support you every step of the way, bringing my experience of working with hundreds of other families.

I don’t come from a place of judgement but compassion and understanding. I’ve been exactly where you are. You haven’t done anything wrong. It’s just that what you’re currently doing is no longer working for your family. You’ve been doing what you thought you needed to do to survive, or what you wanted to do at the time, but now your child’s sleep habits have become unsustainable. The good news is that unsustainable habits can be replaced with habits that are healthier for your child and the entire family.

If you consistently implement the recommendations given, you should see some improvements in your child’s sleep within 3-7 days, and major improvements with 2-3 weeks. This is a few weeks of hard work for long term benefits!

Unfortunately once a particular habit is established, like contact sleeping, feeding to sleep or rocking to sleep, your child comes to expect that every sleep cycle (every 2-3 hrs in the night, or 30-40 mins into each nap), for months and years to come. When a child has not been given the opportunity to practice their natural ability to put themselves to sleep and back to sleep without intervention, they almost never begin this habit on their own, especially after 16 weeks, when sleep habits become established.

We want to be responsive but not reactive. We want to respond appropriately to their legitimite needs with love and care, but not immediately jump into action to react to their every desire. This approach will help you to discern how and when to respond to your child, when they are needing/asking for a response. Often young children fuss or cry because they’re tired and need some space to go to sleep. Every cry is not a cry for help or “response”. We respond differently to different types of cries and durations of cries, but we ALWAYS respond when the child truly needs something, but not necessarily every time they want something.
