Want to learn more about how I can help you specifically?
Contact me today to schedule a FREE 15 minute consultation call.
As a certified educator, I provide a foundation of knowledge for what is biologically normal for infant/toddler sleep, and how it promotes healthy development as well as attachment between your baby and you.
​
I also have an in depth understanding of how our modern cultural expectations of sleep doesn't match up to the biological realities of families, and the chaos that this can cause.
What is an infant sleep educator?
Why sleep education?
"Is your baby 'good' - do they sleep through the night?"
​
"You need to teach that baby how to sleep"
​
Sound familiar? Most of the questions that parents get asked is about their baby's sleep, and it can feel to new parents that if the baby isn't sleeping 'well' then that means they are doing something wrong.
​
But I believe that learning to fall asleep on your own is a developmental milestone, just like crawling or walking. Would it make sense for new parents to blame themselves if their baby didn't crawl or walk by a certain age? Forcing a baby to crawl or walk before they are ready would ultimately result in frustration and tears. It is the same with sleep. Babies will learn to fall asleep on their own when they are ready.
​
This doesn't mean that there is nothing that can be done to help everyone get more sleep. There is plenty we can do to set the stage for your baby (and you) to get a good night's sleep. There are various age-appropriate tactics that can be applied in a loving, supportive and respectful manner to take the stress out of bedtime.
My services do not include:
-Any type of sleep training or "sleep guarantee"
​
-A one size fits all approach
-Clinical tasks or medical diagnosis
-Exclusive child or infant care
