My Sleep Philosophy

As a mom of two young kids, I understand how tired you are, and I am here to help. I have a true passion and belief that well-rested children are the happiest, most curious, and eager little learners. I understand that sleep is precious, and I am dedicated to guiding you through this journey.

When you entrust me as your child’s “sleep guide,” whether through working with me one-on-one or in a seminar, it’s not just a responsibility—it’s a commitment. I take this trust very seriously because I have been in your shoes.

Many parenting books and programs take a firm stance, often centered around the “cry it out” method. But I believe that your child’s sleep is paramount, and I respect your unique parenting style. The bottom line is, as parents, you need to be comfortable with your child’s new sleep plan for it to truly work.

    I lay out a straightforward, step-by-step plan that allows you to make choices that are right for your child. No one knows your child better than you do, and I encourage you to tailor their sleep plan based on your unique insights.
  • null
    I help you set realistic expectations. I understand that the journey to better sleep might involve a few bumps along the way, and I’ll guide you on what to expect as you progress.

Now, let’s address the big “crying” question, as it’s something that concerns many parents. I get it, and I want you to know that I am here for you.

Crying is your child’s way of expressing their feelings, especially when change is afoot. Adjusting their sleep routine might lead to some protests. I am honest about this—it’s likely that you will experience some level of protest from your child.

But please, understand that I will never ask you to leave your child to cry alone, nor will I suggest ignoring their cries. I am successful with families by working with parents to help you develop a plan that feels right for you, based on your deep understanding of your child. I am here to support you every step of the way.
