F*ck the sleep rules.

I've been told I just need to let my baby cry. What do you actually do?

I don't tell you to leave the room and wait it out. I also don't tell you that no method works and you should just keep going as you are. Both of those are extremes that fail families.

What I actually do: I read your baby's biology and your family's situation, I lay out the viable options for change, I help you choose an approach that fits your nervous system and your values, and then I coach you through holding it consistently. The work is structured—but the structure is yours.

Are you certified?

I hold certifications and trainings as a birth and postpartum doula, lactation educator, and childbirth educator, with 10+ years of experience and 250+ families behind me. I trained and was mentored as a sleep practitioner under Moorea Malatt (Sleep Counseling Institute, formerly Sleep Savvy). The approach I hold now grew from that foundation—informed by my work across the perinatal space and the families I've supported from pregnancy through early childhood.

I don't hold a formal sleep consultant certification, and that's a deliberate choice. Most certifications in this space teach behaviorist protocols I don't use. My approach is somatic, biology-first, and attachment-aware—built through years of practice, mentorship, and refinement, not a curriculum I'd be locked into. What families pay for is what I've actually learned holding 250+ families through this work.

I've tried sleep training before and it didn't work. Or it felt wrong.

You're not alone—this is one of the most common situations I see. Most parents who arrive here have tried something. Maybe you bought an online course and implemented it carefully, but your baby was more complex than the curriculum could address. Maybe you hired a sleep consultant who sent you a plan that didn't work in the middle of the night. Maybe you got two nights into a method, baby cried for an hour, you couldn't take it, you brought baby into bed, and now you feel like you failed.

You didn't fail. The approach didn't fit. Maybe nobody told you what to actually expect. Maybe two nights isn't enough time for the change to land. Maybe the method was wrong for your baby or your nervous system. That's the work we do together—figuring out what actually fits, and giving the change real time to land.

My baby used to sleep. Now they don't. What happened?

Regressions, developmental leaps, illness, travel, schedule shifts, transitions out of a previous sleep arrangement—any of these can disrupt previously good sleep. The reason matters. The data will tell us what's happening, and from there we can decide what shifts back into rhythm versus what's actually a new developmental window asking for a new approach.

We used the SNOO and now the crib transition is a disaster.

This is incredibly common, and you're not starting from scratch—even if it feels that way. The SNOO was doing a lot of the regulating work for your baby: the motion, the swaddle, the white noise. When that's removed, your baby has to learn to do some of that work themselves, in a different environment. That's not a personal failure or a "bad habit"—it's just physiology meeting a transition.

What we do: teach you what the SNOO was actually providing, build the skills your baby needs in the new environment, and hold the transition with consistency so it lands. Most families in this situation fit Full Support or the Deep Dive, depending on how layered the situation is.

I'm worried I've created bad habits with rocking, nursing, or bedsharing.

Sleep associations are not bad habits. They're how babies have been falling asleep for all of human history. The question isn't whether they exist—the question is whether they're working for your family right now.

If you love bedsharing, we optimize within that. If you want to shift out of it, we shift. If rocking has stopped working because baby wakes up confused when you put them down, we teach you why that's happening and what to do about it. No judgment, no labeling of "bad habits." Just physiology and choice.

How long until I see results?

You'll see shifts in the first week. Things become more predictable, which gives us more data to work with for the next change based on where we are after that first week.

I can't promise it will be perfect after seven nights. But I can promise you'll be in a better place—moving toward more restful nights, more understanding of the underlying sleep architecture guiding the process, and options to keep moving toward your goals in sustainable ways when you're ready for the next shift.

I provide the guidance. You lead the way.

What happens between the in-home nights, and after they end?

The in-home portion is one phase of the full container, not the whole thing. The nights are placed strategically across the weeks—anchoring the work where it needs to be anchored—not stacked into one upfront push followed by a thin tail of text support.

Between and after the in-home nights, we continue with weekly coaching sessions, ongoing text + email support during the week, responses within 24 hours, and mid-container revision calls to adjust based on what's emerging. The container holds for its full duration. Real change doesn't consolidate in 3-5 consecutive nights. It consolidates over weeks, with consistent guidance throughout.

This is also why my containers are weeks long, not days long. You can't learn and integrate that fast. You need space.

Do you do cry-it-out or extinction?

No. The work is embodied, biology-first, and nervous-system-aware. That said, I'm not anti-sleep-training—I'm anti-rigid-rules. There are gentle, attuned approaches that include some crying, and there are co-sleeping arrangements that can be optimized without anyone crying at all. We figure out what fits your family.

We co-sleep or bedshare. Can we still work with you?

Yes. Sleep arrangements are values choices, not problems to solve. If you want to keep bedsharing and optimize within that, we work on that. If you want to shift out of it, we shift. My job is to teach you enough about sleep biology that you can choose well—not push you toward one arrangement.

My partner and I aren't on the same page.

This comes up often, and it's part of why both caregivers are on the planning call as standard. We work through where you converge, where you diverge, and what an approach you can both hold consistently looks like. Sometimes the gap is smaller than it feels. Sometimes the work is partly about getting aligned. Either way, it's part of the container.

What if our baby is neurodivergent, has medical complications, or doesn't fit standard sleep training?

This is exactly where the Deep Dive or in-person tiers are designed to land. Standard sleep training assumes a typical developmental trajectory. The somatic, biology-first lens lets us work with the actual baby in front of us, not a template.

How do you know when you're holding firm vs. when you're respecting our choices?

Biology, safety, and the data are mine to hold firmly. If your 4-week-old isn't sleeping through the night, that's biology, not a problem. If your sleep environment isn't safe, that's non-negotiable. If you're sabotaging your own stated goals, I'll name it. But the values, the goals, the pace, and the methods that fit your nervous system? Those belong to you.

What if I can't be consistent because of work, other kids, or life?

Real talk: consistency is what makes change happen. If life makes a particular approach impossible right now, we choose a different approach that fits the life you actually have. The point isn't a perfect protocol—it's something you can actually hold. We design for the real conditions, not the ideal ones.

What if we need more support after the container ends?

Most families don't, because the integration is the point—you walk out with tools, not dependency. But continuation options exist: single follow-up sessions, additional weeks, or rolling into the community membership for ongoing access.
