FAQs

  • I work with infants and toddlers, typically from 12 weeks through the toddler years. Whether you’re navigating frequent night wakings, short naps, early morning rising, nap transitions, or the crib-to-bed shift, I create age appropriate sleep plans that support your child’s developmental stage. If you’re unsure whether your child is at the right age to begin, we can discuss that during your free discovery call!

  • In general, babies are ready to begin learning independent sleep skills once they are developmentally capable of going longer stretches between feeds, gaining weight appropriately, and maintaining predictable wake windows. For many families, this falls between 12-20 weeks, though readiness also depends on parental consistency and comfort.

  • I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach! Every plan I design is personalized to your child’s age, developmental stage, and your comfort level as a parent. My philosophy centers on teaching independent sleep skills while maintaining clear, loving boundaries. I guide you step by step so you understand not just what to do, but why you’re doing it.

  • We begin with a free 15 minute discovery call to determine whether we’re a good fit. If you decide to move forward, you’ll complete a detailed intake questionnaire so I can fully understand your child’s sleep history, temperament, and your parenting style. From there, I create a personalized sleep plan tailored specifically to your family. You’ll receive clear guidance and ongoing support as you implement the plan, so you’re never left guessing what to do next. My goal is not just better sleep, but confident, consistent parenting around sleep!

  • Most families begin to see meaningful improvement within one to two weeks when the plan is followed consistently. Some changes happen quickly, while others require a bit more adjustment as your child practices new skills. Progress is not always perfectly linear, but with structure and consistency, sleep becomes more predictable and consolidated.

  • While I cannot guarantee a specific outcome, I can confidently say that families who implement their personalized plan consistently see significant improvement. Sleep is a skill, and like any skill, it requires practice and follow through. My role is to provide you with a clear, strategic roadmap and steady support so you feel confident leading the process.

  • When learning any new skill, some protest is normal. Sleep is no different. Crying does not automatically mean something is wrong; it often reflects adjustment and change. That said, you will never be asked to ignore your child or do something that feels misaligned with your values. We choose an approach that you feel confident implementing, and I support you throughout the process so you feel steady and prepared.

  • Healthy attachment is built through consistent, responsive caregiving over time. Teaching independent sleep skills does not harm attachment when done thoughtfully and consistently. In fact, many families find that improved sleep leads to more connected, regulated interactions during the day. We approach sleep in a way that supports both your child’s development and your relationship.

  • There is no shortage of sleep advice available online, but most of it is generalized and often conflicting. What works for one child may not work for another! When we work together, you receive a personalized, comprehensive plan tailored to your child’s temperament, developmental stage, and your family’s goals. You also receive accountability and support as you implement it, which is often the missing piece between knowing what to do and confidently doing it.
