Sleep Education & Support
Are you expecting and what to ensure you know all the ins and outs of infant sleep? Or if your little one has been born and you need some sleep support, I am here for you.
I provide sleep support that is based on infant biological and development norms and considers the whole family.
I rely on the latest research in neuroscience, psychology and safe sleep practices to create a customized sleep plan that works for you and your little one.
Every family is unique, which is why I focus on creating a plan that doesn't just address your baby's sleep, but also considers the mental health and well-being of each family member.
During infancy, the foundation for your baby’s mental health is built. Therefore my approach prioritizes your baby's emotional well-being and fosters secure attachment. I'll never make any suggestions that rely on sleep training methods or infant behaviour modification.

⁃ Comprehensive, tailored sleep solutions plan
⁃ Access to resources to optimize your child's sleep and wellbeing
⁃ Strategies to improve the whole family’s sleep and wellbeing
