FAQ
Does your method involve crying?
While I focus on gentle and responsive approaches that prioritize your child's emotional wellbeing, any changes made to how your baby or toddler goes to sleep will be met with some level of protest and upset. Most young children are very attached to the comfort of being helped to sleep especially if it involves nursing. So there will likely be tears. In my approach, I address how to tell the difference between cry-it-out vs supported crying and when it's too much. I talk about it in-depth as it's the most important part of the process and it must be fully understood by parents.
My child goes to daycare, playschool, grandparents' or the nanny while I'm at work. Will your approach work?
Yes, real life doesn’t have to get in the way of good sleep. I’ll help you create a flexible plan that works with your childcare setup, not against it. Whether naps happen at infant care or Grandma does things her way, we’ll focus on what you can consistently do at home to support better sleep overall. You don’t need a perfect routine—you just need a smart, adaptable one (and I’ve got you covered).
What age range do you work with?
My sleep services are tailored for babies and toddlers aged 3 months to 3 years old. I specialize in toddler sleep solutions that cater to the unique needs of co-sleeping or room-sharing children, or parents who want to guide their children toward independent sleep.
How fast can I see results to get my child sleeping through the night?
In my experience, parents who prioritize their child's bedtime routine and schedule and commit to the consistent implementation of the new strategies would see results within 3 to 10 days depending on their child's temperament (sensitive, strong-willed, easy-going). Every family goes at a different pace but generally, that's the typical timeline that I've seen.
I’ve read so much sleep advice already. How is this any different?
You’re right, there’s a lot of advice out there. But that advice doesn’t know your child. What makes this different is the personalisation, the live support, and the ongoing adjustments we make together. No more guessing, scrolling, or second-guessing. You’ll finally have clarity and confidence.
What if this doesn’t work for my baby?
I hear you, especially if you’ve already tried so many things. That’s why this support is completely personalised. I take the time to understand your child’s unique sleep history and temperament. You won’t be handed a cookie-cutter plan—you’ll receive real-time support and adjustments along the way, so we can figure out what actually works for your baby.
What if I don’t have the time or energy to follow through?
You don’t need to be at 100% to start. That’s exactly why I’m here, to take the mental load off. The plan is broken into small, doable steps and I’ll guide you daily with check-ins so you never feel overwhelmed or alone. We work together at your pace.
It feels like a big investment. Is it worth it?
I understand this is a thoughtful decision. But sleep struggles affect every part of family life: your mood, your patience, your connection. This investment is not just in better sleep but in your well-being, confidence, and ability to enjoy parenting again. With hands-on, daily guidance, you're not just buying a plan; you're gaining a trusted partner through this transformation.
I've got more than a decade of experience and the skills to work with the toughest sleep cases, especially with toddlers.
All my strategies for clients are carefully curated and personalized to suit the child's temperament and family's lifestyle.
