"Can you just move in with us and sleep train our baby?"

Why, yes. I can.

The number one complaint I hear from parents who want support sleep training their child is that they're already so tired, and any missed sleep is just torture. And it's true, sleep deprivation affects us at a core level. Exhaustion and sleepless nights aren't a requirement for parenthood. 

Together we can create a plan, tailored to meet your baby's personality, your family's needs, and help you find your way back to a well rested state. 

Sleep training is hard. It's even harder when you're flipping through books, searching through guides, and scrambling to figure out what that cry means, or what to do when that thing happens. But when I'm there with you, you don't have to worry about that. You'll have real time answers for your real time questions. Expert help, by your side. The entire time.

Do you feel...


​Frustrated or anxious about your sleep situation?

Do you dread bedtime?

Are you constantly tired, overwhelmed, or exhausted?

Are you worried that nothing will work, or that you'll do something "wrong?"



Together we can:

Learn the difference between habits and genuine needs.

Gain confidence and trust in your parenting instincts.

Give baby the skill and ability of healthy, restorative sleep.
​
​End sleep deprivation for your family.
Your baby is an individual. Sure, there are a plenty of sleep training methods out there, but not every method fits every baby. No matter how many books, articles, blogs, or anecdotes you've read, they're not tailored specifically to your baby's needs. 

​When I work with your family, I hold your hand, give you the keys to sleep, and offer you the tools necessary to find solutions that work.

You don't have to do it alone
