So there’s this thing…This false dichotomy that either you sleep or you wait it out.
It’s bullshit. We can respond to our babies and toddlers 100% of the time, while still nudging their sleep in the direction we’d like to go.
You’re in the right place.Sleep and responsiveness
don’t have to be at odds with each other.
Armed with a degree in developmental psychology and a diploma in early childhood education, I knew enough about attachment to know this: asking parents to limit how responsive they are to their babies isn’t the best way to foster it.
But I also knew parents needed more sleep and less stress. They were drowning in anxiety over getting sleep ‘wrong’, trying to follow all the baby sleep rules that just weren’t working for their families.
So I got to work, figuring out how to marry everything we know about the trajectory of infant and toddler sleep with what the attachment research tells us about fostering a secure attachment.
The results changed lives.
Helping youget more shut eye
Nine months after my first daughter was born, I went off the deep end of baby sleep. I completed two holistic infant and toddler sleep certifications. I logged hundreds of hours of continuing education in lactation, reflux, oral restrictions and attachment. I’ve helped thousands of families get more sleep… all without sleep training.
What makes my approach different:
The whole gist behind most sleep training programs is that you have to follow their rules for it to work… even if it feels awful.
That’s not what we do here. I will never ask you to do anything that goes against your intuition.
You’re the expert, and you get to call the shots.
You know what is going to feel like a nudge for your baby, and what’s going to feel like a push. With guidance from me, you’ll be able to combine my education in sleep and attachment with your expertise in your baby, so you can approach sleep in a way that feels good for you.
For way too long, the sleep status quo has been dominated by behaviorist ways of thinking.We know better now.
Infant brain development and attachment turns this way of thinking on its head. We now know that parenting rooted in warm, nurturing responsiveness leads to the best outcomes across the board.
Your baby and toddler sleep guruI grew up in the Canadian prairies but fell in love with an Austrian guy while studying abroad.
Married, two kids and a dog later, we’re still together, raising our bilingual family in the Austrian Alps.
When I’m not geeking out over child development, you can find me shopping at the farmer’s market, bike riding down to the lake, and snuggling my kids to sleep each night.
