Frequently Asked Questions
What ages of children do you work with?
I work with families from the newborn stage through toddlerhood, supporting babies and young children with sleep challenges in a gentle and developmentally appropriate way. With over 15 years of experience supporting families, I understand how sleep needs change across different stages and tailor my approach accordingly.
What is your sleep coaching philosophy?
My approach is responsive, gentle, and individualized. I believe that every family is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to sleep. I draw on evidence-based practices and work within your comfort level, always keeping your child's emotional wellbeing and your family's values at the center of the plan.
We breastfeed, room-share, or co-sleep — will you still work with us?
Absolutely. I fully support all feeding and sleeping arrangements. My goal is to help your family get more rest while honoring the choices that matter most to you. I have worked with many families who breastfeed, room-share, or co-sleep, and I can create a plan that works within those parameters.
How quickly will we see improvement?
Many families notice meaningful changes within the first few days of following the sleep plan. For sustainable, long-term results, most families see significant improvement within two weeks. Progress depends on consistency and your child's individual temperament, but I will be with you every step of the way.
What if there's a disruption like travel, illness, or a sleep regression?
Disruptions are a completely normal part of childhood. I prepare you for these situations in advance and provide guidance on how to navigate them without losing the progress you have made. Returning to good sleep after a setback is usually much faster the second time around.
What is included in a sleep coaching package?
Each package includes an in-depth assessment, a personalized written sleep plan, and follow-up support calls. Depending on the package you choose, you will also receive text support between calls and plan adjustments as your child grows. See the Sleep Coaching page for full details on each package.
Will you judge us for the choices we've made?
Never. I have been through my own struggles with breastfeeding and sleepless nights, so I understand firsthand what it feels like. My role is to support you, not to judge you. Whatever you have tried, whatever choices you have made — you will always be met with compassion and understanding.
My toddler wakes briefly but frequently throughout the night — can you help?
Yes. Frequent brief night wakings are one of the most common challenges I work with in toddlers. I will help you understand what is driving the wakings and create a gentle plan to reduce them, so that your whole family can get more consolidated sleep.
Is your approach evidence-based?
Yes. Everything I recommend is rooted in current research on infant and toddler sleep, child development, and attachment. As an IBCLC, midwife, and NICU nurse with over 15 years of experience, I continuously update my knowledge to ensure I am offering you the most current and effective guidance.
