Why do I care so much about sleep?

As mama and postpartum doula, I’ve learned a thing or 2 around optimizing sleep. And yet, I struggled so much (!) with my own daughter’s complex sleep challenges. My first year of motherhood was filled with research, troubleshooting and sleep deprivation.

I learned that sleep is more than just a schedule… it’s a complex puzzle that’s impacted by so many factors. And for most families, mainstream sleep training just doesn’t cut it. We need better, more comprehensive guidance around infant and toddler sleep. More evidence-based strategies that don’t impair our relationship with our child, but foster it.

Now that I’m on the other end, I’m so grateful to be supporting families to get more sleep by looking at sleep more holistically than any sleep training method could ever do ♡

My Approach to Sleep

My approach to holistic sleep coaching is deeply rooted in science, evidence-based research and attachment theory. I always favour connection over separation and will never prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution, nor will I use mainstream sleep training approaches or cry-it-out (CIO) techniques.

Instead, I really tune into your family’s unique context, values and goals to propose gentle strategies to improve your little one’s sleep and your family’s overall wellbeing.

Currently, I am training to become a Baby-Led Sleep™ & Well-Being Specialist via Isla-Grace. My ongoing training and personal experience as mama and postpartum doula has helped me acquire a wealth of knowledge around infant and toddler sleep, common sleep challenges and effective yet gentle ways of improving sleep for the whole family.

  • No Sleep Training

    Say goodbye to traditional "cry-it-out" methods! My approach revolves around embracing your baby's individual needs, ensuring a compassionate and secure environment for their sleep. I always prioritize connection over separation.

  • Baby on tummy time in crib

    Developmentally Appropriate

    I believe in honouring your child's unique developmental milestones and crafting strategies that support their growth. We'll work together to establish healthy sleep patterns that respect their natural rhythms.

  • Mother and baby hugging in nature

    Attachment Focused

    Rest assured, our holistic sleep coaching journey will strengthen the unbreakable bond between you and your little one. By prioritizing attachment and responsiveness, we'll create a safe space for both you and your baby to thrive.

How does sleep coaching work?

  • Before we begin working together, I will ask you to fill out a detailed intake form with questions about you and your baby, feeding & sleeping patterns, their temperament and sensory preferences, development, medical history, environment, nutrition, lifestyle, mental health, routines, attachment etc.

    To me, getting a complete picture of your situation is the only way to guide you towards making improvements that are aligned with your family and take everything into account that’s going on.

  • Once you’ve submitted your intake form, I’ll analyze your answers and schedule a Zoom call with you. Together, we review dive deep into the intake form, address sleep challenges and create an individualized strategy based on your answers and what you’re sharing during our call.

  • After each call, I will send you a written summary of what we discussed because let’s be honest, it’s tricky for us mamas to take notes while juggling our babies/ kids.

    I’ll also share evidence-based resources & supporting documentation for further reading on the topics we discussed.

    Depending on how much support you’d like, I’m also available for continued support via text, follow-up calls, voice messages etc.
