No two families or babies are alike in their needs and dynamics. We recognize the profound connection between the love you have for your baby, their development, the feeding relationship and sleep. I’ve devoted the last five years to certifications, training and continued education to create sleep solutions that take into account these interconnected elements. Alongside constant learning to better support families, a big part of my sleep magic is working with families in-person. Each month, I support babies and toddlers through bedtime and nighttime wakes. Constantly working with different children and different families in real time, I’ve picked up on the nuances and flexibility of sleep coaching that makes the process easier. Alongside the basic principles of introducing independent sleep that do stay relatively consistent, is room for each child to be met exactly where they are. Nothing works for all babies.

I arrive with no agenda other than to welcome you into a safe coaching space and learn about your family’s ideal vision sleep. From there, we do a deep dive into your capacity for change, the feeding relationship, developmentally appropriate expectations, root causes of sleep symptoms and options to introduce independent sleep. Our whole child, whole family, solution-based approach is unlike most cookie-cutter providers. We take a big picture look at sleep biology- age appropriate total sleep times, synergy between night and daytime sleep, sleep environment, optimal and individual nap timing, sleep latency, and pattern of night wakings. We look at underlying triggers for poor sleep-low ferritin stores, oral tethered tissues, eczema, reflux, prematurity, torticollis, sleep disordered breathing, formula intolerance, CPMA and nutritional deficiencies. And, we cover sleep hygiene basics too (nourishing routine, lighting, temperature, positive associations, screen time, hunger, and sensory input).

On-going support that offers a safe space for parents to share their experience, ask questions and talk through progress. I monitor your child at every step of the process through our feeding/sleep logs to ensure baby is responding well to the changes and and help parents take things one step at a time. This conscious care helps families navigate the process with confidence, learning tools and skills along the way that allow them to continue prioritizing sleep for years to come.
