What can I help you achieve?
I work with parents to create a predictable daily routine for their babies and toddlers. Parents that I advise report longer naps, fewer night wakings, shorter soothing times and more joy, rest and connection as a family. With healthier sleep based on an age-appropriate pattern, babies are happier and less cranky, eat better, learn better and grow better! With my guidance, families move from sleep deprivation, frustration and stress to joy, rest and connection.
