Parent Coaches

Sound familiar?
“I’m pretty sure I’m doing it all wrong.”
“This is not at all like the books said it would be.”
“I’m so tired…”


That first year can be a doozy…I can help.


THAT FIRST YEAR’s Gentle Sleep Coaching combines support with an individualized approach that minimizes crying and facilitates better sleep.



You don’t have to go it alone. Working with a coach can:
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve confidence in your abilities and instincts.
• Allow you to follow a plan that’s tailored to your baby and family


I’m a certified Gentle Sleep CoachTM with a Master’s degree in Infant Mental Health. I’m also on the faculty of Antioch University’s Counseling Psychology program and conduct my own research on infant sleep and parenting advice. Plus, I'm the mom of two intense, non-sleeping babies (both young adult, expert sleepers). I know how hard this sleep thing can be. I also know that babies and children often need help to improve sleep and this doesn’t have to include crying-it-out. My approach is gradual and can be tailored to fit a variety of contexts (including cosleeping, room-sharing, and night-nursing).


Spirited? High needs? Highly sensitive? Alert? I specialize in working with parents of little ones who are “more” – intense, sensitive, perceptive, intense, active. These little ones require a specific approach that takes this temperament into account. Sleep books weren’t written for these little dynamos and parents often need even more support just to keep up.
