Why Believing in the Process Matters
Sleep training works best when you truly believe it will help your child. If you decide not to sleep train, that’s okay. Do what feels right for you and your family. If you’re ready to begin, I’m here to help you.
I know that changing your child’s sleep habits can feel overwhelming, and it may be tough at times. But with your effort and consistency, your child’s sleep will get better. Staying committed to the process is important for it to work.
With my support, you’ll have a clear plan for bedtime, overnight wake-ups, and naps. As your sleep consultant, I’ll be with you every step. You won’t have to do this alone. I promise.

Take a moment to think about how you view sleep. Do you believe, "My child needs help to fall asleep, they can't do it on their own," or something different?
"My child is responsible for their own way of falling asleep and can self-settle; I just need to offer opportunities for my child to try. I believe my child can do it. The more consistent I am, the faster my child will adjust and learn this new way of falling asleep. I trust the process, and ultimately, I trust my child. I am doing this for my child, not to my child."
Can you notice the difference between these two ideas? It's important to believe in yourself. Trust your child's abilities, too. When we work together, I'll support and guide you as you help your child learn to sleep independently.
➔ How your child sleeps simply comes down to the habits they have learned from what you have taught them before they fall asleep.

If you have been nursing, rocking, bottle feeding, or co-sleeping every time your child needs to sleep, you have shown them that this is how sleep happens. They start to believe they need that specific routine to fall asleep and to get back to sleep if they wake up during the night.
Changing your child’s sleep habits might feel hard right now, but there are real solutions. You can make changes to routines and help your child develop healthier sleep habits. That’s why I’m here—to support you so you feel less alone and less overwhelmed.
➔ Every child can learn the lifelong skill of falling asleep independently.

Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers can learn to fall asleep on their own if they have the chance to practice. Introducing new sleep habits helps with this. Once children develop independent sleep habits, they are more likely to sleep well.
When children learn this skill, they can sleep through the night without needing help to fall asleep at naps or bedtime. If they wake up briefly, they are more likely to settle back to sleep without being rocked, fed, or held.
Independent sleep skills help children fall asleep in their cribs, stay asleep, and sleep for 10-12 hours at night. Babies who are sleep trained can move through sleep cycles without fully waking up, so they wake less often or not at all. They know how to get back to sleep on their own and do not expect external help.
If you trust your child’s abilities and guide them as they learn to sleep on their own, they will connect sleep cycles, nap more reliably, and sleep through the night consistently.
