What you can expect

✓ A fully personalized approach - No generic schedules or cookie-cutter plans. Tailored to your child's temperament, development, your family's lifestyle, and your parenting values.

✓ Compassionate, judgment-free support - A safe space where you'll feel heard, supported, and empowered—never judged.

✓ Responsive, attachment-focused support - You'll never be asked to ignore your instincts or withhold comfort. We work with your child, not against them.

✓ A whole-family approach — We'll look beyond bedtime to understand what's really influencing your child's sleep.

✓ Responsive, evidence-based guidance - Gentle recommendations grounded in child development, attachment science, and current research—never cry-it-out or sleep training in disguise.

 Sustainable progress - Gradual changes that build healthy sleep habits for the long term, not just a few good nights.

  A collaborative partnership with ongoing support - You're the expert on your child. I'll guide you with personalized coaching, regular check-ins, and adjustments as your child grows and life changes.

What you shouldn't expect

✓ A quick fix - Some families see changes quickly, while others make steady progress over several weeks.

✓ Sleep training in disguise - No extinction methods, controlled crying, or leaving your child to cry alone (not even for a second).

✓ A rigid plan — Real life includes illness, teething, travel, developmental leaps, and difficult nights. We'll adapt as your child and family change rather than expecting perfection.
 

"The process isn't instantaneous because it truly is about adapting evidence-based research to the specific needs of YOUR child, and creating a calm, regulated nervous system that is primed to sleep. But don't let that make you think that you won't see shifts. We felt early wins in the first week, and our daughter progressed from 5-7 wakeups a night to 2-3 within a handful of weeks. Bedtime and the remaining wakeups are so much shorter and better regulated -- they feel like a connecting experience vs a nightly struggle."

- Mom to a 9 month old baby
 

✓A magic solution that works without your involvement - Change comes from understanding your child and staying consistent. I'll guide you every step, but we're partners in this.

 Guaranteed results on a specific timeline - Sleep is developmental, and every child moves at their own pace.

✓ A rigid or one-size-fits-all schedule  — We will work with your child's temperament, age, and specific sleep needs.

Kind words

"After just a couple of weeks, we saw huge changes in our son’s ability to go to sleep more peacefully and predictably, and stay asleep for more age-appropriate stints."

Maria is Fantastic! My wife and I continue to benefit from her wealth of knowledge as we learn to navigate our first born and his sleep needs. Maria was recommended to us by multiple medical professionals as the next step in normalizing a sleep routine that both increased overall sleep quality and quantity, while fitting his designed biological nature and supporting the mother / child bond. After just a couple of weeks, we saw huge changes in our son’s ability to go to sleep more peacefully and predictably, and stay asleep for more age-appropriate stints. We can’t recommend Maria more highly if you are looking for a common-sense / responsive / biology-based approach to meeting sleep needs for your precious loved one without sacrificing attachment. Thank you, Maria!
