What is a Sleep Consultant?

A sleep consultant is a trained professional who helps families solve their child’s sleep challenges using evidence-based, age-appropriate strategies. Think of me as part teacher, part coach, part cheerleader. I create a customized sleep plan based on your child’s needs, your parenting and lifestyle, and I guide you through it step by step.

Common Myths About Sleep Consultants:

❌ Myth #1: I’ll tell you to let your baby cry endlessly.
✅ Truth: Crying is normal—it’s how babies communicate—but I’ll never ask you to ignore your child. I use gentle approaches, with you responding in ways that feel right for your family.

❌ Myth #2: Sleep struggles just go away with time.
✅ Truth: While some phases do pass, many sleep challenges get harder with age. The sooner you address them, the easier it is for your child to build healthy sleep habits.

❌ Myth #3: Hiring a sleep consultant means you’ve failed as a parent.
✅ Truth: Asking for help is a sign of strength, not failure. Just like you’d hire a coach for sports or a tutor for school, I’m here to guide your family toward better sleep.

Do You Need a Sleep Consultant?

If you find yourself…

  • Constantly Googling sleep tips at 2am
  • Unsure if your baby’s habits are “normal”
  • Struggling with short naps, bedtime battles, or frequent night waking
  • Feeling exhausted, frustrated, and stuck

…then working with a sleep consultant could make all the difference.
