​Certified Sleep Sense Consultant
If your little one is four months or older, they are ready to gain the lifelong skills for independent sleep, this is where you should start. ​

Is this program right for me?

If you're here, chances are you are tired and looking for answers. 

  • Does your child only fall asleep when nursing or bottle feeding?
  • Does your baby rely on a pacifier to fall asleep?
  • Will your child refuse to sleep in their crib?
  • Are you waking up with your child once or more during the night?
  • Does your child need to be rocked, bounced, or taken on a car or stroller ride to fall asleep?
  • Is your own lack of sleep starting to take its toll on you and your family?

If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then I can help you. 

My approach was created out of a strong belief that healthy sleep habits make for healthy children and healthy families.  It is of great importance to help your little one become well-rested and develop their own independent sleep skills.  At this age, you will see your child be more happy and alert during their time awake, demonstrate less frustration and grumpiness, and more energetic and engaged with others and their surroundings. 

If you are ready for a plan that is easy and clear to follow and will teach your child the skills necessary to sleep through the night and have great naps during the day, contact me to schedule a one-on-one consultation. When we work together, you will help your baby develop important life skills that allow them to become a good sleeper. During our time together, you observe see your bond and relationship with your child grow and evolve to being one that is not clouded by sleep deprivation and exhaustion, and you will feel as if you can be a better parent to your baby (even though you already are!)

A little note about the "crying" that parents ask about when they consider sleep training their baby, as I think it needs to be addressed here. Crying is your child's way of protesting change, and you can reasonably expect that making a change to their sleep habits and routines will result in some protest. This is why I always make sure to tell parents that our program will likely involve some amount of protest on the child's part. Please understand that I will never ask you to leave your child to cry alone, nor will I ever ask you to ignore their cries. I give you new ways to respond to and comfort your child so that they can continue to feel safe and secure while we work together to teach them new sleep skills. The reason my sleep method is so effective is that it allows you to create a plan that you feel comfortable with, based on what you know about your baby.

Select the sleep package that is right for you. All sleep packages must be purchased prior to your sleep consultation.  Ask about a sibling discount if you are ready to tackle sleep habits for more than one of your children!*
