What is a sleep training specialist?

When your baby isn’t napping or screams through the night, it can feel daunting and lonely. Wading through all of the information, trying random strategies, and just hoping it works isn’t effective.

But what if you weren’t alone? What if there was a personalized plan created for your unique child? What if you had support all along the way? That’s why sleep training specialists exist!

A sleep training specialist is a certified, professional, knowledgeable expert in the field of healthy, happy, sleep habits for babies, toddlers, and young children.

That means my goal is to offer you more than one strategy to achieve your family's sleeping goals. I will work collaboratively with you to help your baby, toddler, or young child learn the amazing benefits of great sleep. You can learn more about my services here, or continue reading to learn more about what we can achieve together.
