I’m so excited to introduce myself and my journey with you.

My background is in Psychology and Music Therapy, and I have worked closely with many children and families over the years.  I’ve always had a deep interest in child development, but my true passion for helping little ones (and their exhausted parents!) with sleep began when I welcomed my son into the world  (and reason why I became a Certified Holistic Sleep Coach!).

Like many new parents, I had this notion that babies would naturally drift off to sleep when they were tired. Oh, how I wish that were the case! My son faced colic and would cry for what felt like an eternity. We tried everything to soothe him, and while he eventually became a happier baby as he grew, sleep remained elusive.​

​

As a mom, I understand the struggles and heartache of sleepless nights. I vividly remember the overwhelming challenge of trying to put him down for naps, stressing out about how many hours of sleep he would (should?) get in a day and wake windows. I also remember those hourly wakings at night. The advice to let him cry it out felt impossible to me. It felt truly wrong. I had (and have!) a very strong instinct to attend to him and soothe him when he needs me. And I know I’m not alone in feeling this way.

​

I take a holistic, attachment-based, and evidence-informed approach to sleep
coaching. I believe in fostering connection and trust as the foundation for healthy sleep, and I will never recommend methods like Cry It Out (CIO) or controlled crying.

 

If you’re looking for a compassionate, gentle approach that respects your child’s needs and your instincts, I’d love to chat and see how I can support you!
