As a Pediatric Sleep Expert, I have helped hundreds of families improve their children’s sleep. Sleep directly impacts your child’s mental and physical development, therefore developing good sleep habits is critical for healthy growth.
Health and safety can become concerns for parents who do not get enough sleep. Parents who do not get enough sleep are often more stressed, more distracted, less tolerant, and can even experience anxiety and depression, including intensified postpartum depression.
Examine their baby’s daily and nightly routines and adjust and/or generate particular patterns to help create better and longer sleep
Look at their child’s entire routine including eating, napping, and playtime, to properly create effective sleep patterns that support good daytime and nighttime sleep
Create consistency in their child’s routines and schedule
Create a sleep environment that is comfortable, safe, and soothing for their child
Restructure boundaries and routines for their growing toddler so that bedtime is no longer a battle or an endless process
Teach their children how to fall asleep efficiently and independently for daytime sleep and nighttime sleep
Decrease and/or eliminate night waking and night feeding (as age and weight appropriate)
Minimize crying during bedtime and nap time by showing them how to select sleep techniques and methods that are right for their baby, their child’s personality, and their family circumstances
I know what it is like to have children that do not sleep. I know what it is like to have to hold a child to sleep for naps and nighttime sleep. I know what it is like to have anxiety every day because of not knowing what to expect from naps and nighttime sleep. I know what it is like to wake up every hour throughout the night to rock, feed, or bounce a baby. I know what it is like to have a toddler escape out of bed all night long. I know what it is like to have a toddler delay bedtime for two hours.
I can help you improve not only your child’s sleep but also your sleep as a result. Restorative sleep is a critical part of a happy and healthy lifestyle, therefore as sleep quality improves your family life and family dynamic will improve as well.
Working with someone with my level of expertise is beneficial to you because with experience comes knowledge and wisdom. I have helped families of all shapes and sizes, with all types of sleep challenges, in all types of situations and atmospheres. While working as a pediatric sleep expert I developed a Three Phase Sleep Success System that helps promote fast and lasting sleep success. When working to improve sleep challenges, the order in which you work on them matters. Therefore the sleep system I have created carefully walks you through each phase in the correct order, and I will personally be there to support you the whole way.
