Skeptical About Consulting
Your baby may be experiencing frequent nighttime wakings, short naps, early morning wake-ups, or bedtime resistance, leaving you feeling drained and irritable.
You’ve read the books, scoured the internet, and received more conflicting advice from your mom, sister-in-law, and best friend than you can process.
None of it works for your baby – or you. You are searching for a gentle approach. One that respects your child’s emotional needs and maintains the close bond you’ve worked hard to build. All while also getting your baby to sleep more than a few minutes at a time.
You are sleep-deprived, overwhelmed, and on the verge of a mini-emotional breakdown all day, every day. And if you hear about ‘extinction’, cry-it-out, or Ferberizing one more time, the cops might have to be involved.
Feeling stuck, worried, and frustrated? Don’t worry mama, I’ve been there, and I'm on a mission to help you.
I’ve Walked in Your Shoes
I’m not just a sleep consultant. I’m a parent who’s experienced the struggles of sleepless nights and constant wake-ups. I know firsthand the questions you're asking, the advice you're hearing, and the doubts you're feeling.
As a parent, I remember asking myself, "How do I get my baby/toddler to sleep through the night?" The question felt as complex as asking, "How do I raise my children to become respectful, caring teenagers?" I desperately wanted to find a way to get more sleep for our entire family so that I could enjoy those precious moments with my kids, instead of just “getting through it”.
In my work as a doula, I have seen many families struggle with sleep deprivation well beyond the initial weeks of parenting. I wanted to be able to offer them comfort and support so that both parents and children could finally get the rest they needed. With a firm belief in the efficacy of attachment principles, I embarked on a search, eventually discovering a sleep consultant training program that aligned perfectly with these values.
My passion is not just about helping your child sleep through the night; it's about helping you feel confident and equipped in this journey. I know how crucial it is to understand each child’s unique needs and provide advice that aligns with your parenting philosophy. This is a journey that doesn’t need to involve tears or distress. Instead, it can be a process filled with comfort, care, and compassion.
Having initially doubted the efficacy of sleep consulting, I can now confidently assert the value of this service. It's about more than just surviving - it's about enhancing the quality of life for your family. The satisfaction I've seen from parents who have embraced this journey is a testament to its worth. I wish I had known this earlier, and now, it's my mission to ensure you do.
