If you're here, you are not looking for a quick fix, but desire to deepen your connection with your child, improve any challenges surrounding sleep, all being responsive to your child’s needs. Gently encouraging a baby to sleep better will take a different amount of time for every baby. Unlike separation-based sleep training methods, I can’t promise you when it will get better. But I can promise you that it will get better. With these responsive, science-based strategies, you’ll get more rest soon, and when you do, you’ll be confident that you stayed true to your values and followed your instincts. These holistic, attachment-based methods set you up for real, lasting, better sleep. You’ll build a foundation of connection & attachment that will pay off countless times throughout your baby’s life.

All strategies and plans are founded in responsive, attachment-focused, methods.  At no point will I ever encourage or ask you to do anything that you are not comfortable with.  At no point will your little one be left to cry on their own, or you will be told in what ways you are allowed to respond to them.  Your little one is allowed to have big feelings, especially if changes are being made that they don’t like, for example, if you are currently rocking for an hour straight to get your little one to sleep and you need to make a change, your little one might be upset and displeased.  But the difference here is that you are still providing them with the support, comfort and coregulation that need.

  Remember, you are the expert on your baby. My job is to guide you, offer suggestions and strategies, shine a light on any areas of concern, recommend solutions based on my experience, encourage emotional connections, build stronger relationships, and support you along the way.  You will never, ever be told to do something that doesn't feel right for you or your baby.

My approach revolves around a holistic attachment-focused approach, a truly responsive perspective of sleep.  When working with little one's it is so important that we acknowledge and value that each child is unique, with different temperaments and needs, and there are no guarantees.   Traditional sleep trainers will make promises such as your child will sleep x amount of hours after x amount of days because they are using separation and a behaviourist approach to modify the child's behaviour and how they signal to their caregiver- not their sleep. Making real changes to sleep includes developmentally appropriate expectations, time and an understanding of your unique child.
