ELLA GRACE HANOVER | BABY SLEEP CONSULTANT NYC

I’m a pediatric sleep specialist who knows that behind every child peacefully sleeping in their crib, is a parent who believed that their child could learn this skill. A parent who was willing to give their child the support and space necessary to master independent sleep skills. You can do this.

  • I want you to feel freedom in motherhood....

    When you have space for yourself, checking off a few to-dos and still having time leftover just for you. Sleep isn’t a struggle and you look forward to YOUR bedtime routine.

  • Of being able to pass "bedtime" off confidently to others...

    Because you already spent a blissful (and tiring) day with your little ones. You’re ready to grab a cocktail with your friend or do a mud mask before sinking in your mattress.

  • And to look forward to romanticizing your daily life..

    Like sitting down to recharge at nap time with the latest Vogue, your favorite treat from the bakery down the street, and zero stress of being nap trapped.

Sleep training is not about "teaching" your child independent sleep skills. It's about allowing your child to gain confidence falling asleep in a new way with your support and encouragement.

With practice, every child can master independent sleep and every family can enjoy consistent nighttime sleep.

  • I help families like you overcome frequent nighttime wakes, stressful naps, and sleep associations (rocking, holding, feeding, bed-sharing) that no longer serve the family by establishing an independent sleep routine that ensures the whole family gets quality, predictable rest.

  • One client once told me, “Sleep makes me a better mom!”.

    Sleep is essential to the well-being of women and to stay resilient to the chronic, low-level stress that most women take on as the default parent

    Sure, we can run on little sleep. We can coffee ourselves up and feel like we’re superheroes who DO. IT. ALL but at a certain point, you crash. You hit the floor and you’re disconnected from who you are, what you’re wearing and how you show up in this world. Solving disruptive sleep patterns and dependent sleep associations that require parents to be up all night literally gives parents their lives back. It gives children happier and calmer parents.

    Parenting is challenging, but without sleep, it’s impossible.

    When you consistently get a full night’s rest, your brain and body can function in optimal status. And do you know who benefits from that happy parent? The child. YOUR child.

You all deserve quality sleep.
