Pediatric Sleep Consultant

Hi! I am Maria

Founder & Certified Holistic Sleep Coach at Embrace and Nurture, LLC. 

As a baby sleep consultant and child sleep specialist, I’m so excited to introduce myself and my journey with you.

 

My background is in Psychology and Music Therapy, and I’ve spent years working with children and families. But my real education began when I became a mother myself.

​

If you’re here, you might be where I once was — tired, overwhelmed, and questioning everything you thought you knew about baby sleep. You want to be there for your little one, but you also crave rest. You’ve tried to follow your instincts, yet the noise of conflicting advice makes you doubt yourself.  I’ve been there too!

​

When my son was born, sleep was our biggest struggle. He had colic, woke constantly, and I was told to do things that went against every instinct in my body — "to let him cry", "to put him down", "you are creating bad habits".  But I couldn’t...  Deep down, I KNEW connection wasn’t the problem — it was the solution.  I just didn't know HOW to improve sleep while honoring those instincts.

​

Coming from Spain, I was familiar with approaches that honored both biology and connection. So I studied sleep science, attachment, and development — determined to understand what my baby truly needed. What I found changed everything. His sleep improved, our days felt calmer, my husband and I got some much needed time back to ourselves in the evening, and I finally began to feel like myself again.

 

​

That experience shaped the heart of Embrace & Nurture. I now help families find rest in a way that feels right — with connection at the center, not in conflict with it.

​

My approach is holistic, attachment-focused, and evidence-based, grounded in trust, safety, and emotional well-being.

 

Whether your goal is to improve sleep while bedsharing, gently night-wean, or move toward more independent sleep, I’ll meet you where you are — with compassion and guidance that honors both your baby’s needs and your instincts.

​

Peaceful sleep shouldn’t mean letting go of what feels right.  It begins by trusting and protecting the strong bond you are working so hard to build.

​

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!
