Here's some good news
when it comes to working on sleep:

There are gradual, effective alternatives to "crying it out."

About 99% of the sleep methods out there are a version of Ferber (they may use other terms, but if you have to leave the room, it's Ferber.) Believe it or not, this isn't the only way (it's just the bandwagon that researchers have decided to stay on.)

 

I am one of a qualified, certified group of Gentle Sleep Coaches who use a gradual approach (pioneered by Kim West, LCSW-C) that gradually scaffolds sleep skills without having to leave them alone to cry—which is especially important for these alert, intense kiddos who go from zero to sixty faster than you can say "pacifier."

 

A gradual sleep training approach allows you to stay with your child and gradually wean down what you do to help. Most importantly, you get to calm them down when they need help.
I mean, no one's learning anything when they're hysterical. 

​

ADVANTAGES:

  • It's tolerable for both the child and the parent

  • It's do-able. There's no "talking yourself into it."

  • It really works even for bright, intense, persistent kiddos

  • It's customizable to fit your unique family and goals

Booking a consult . . .

I am currently only offering one-hour consults ($150, see below) for children six months to six years. This includes the virtual consult with me and an emailed written summary after the call.

Sometimes, you just need someone to listen and point you in the right direction. Chances are, you can take it from there.

Coming Soon . . .

In the coming months, I'll be offering a wider range of availability and sleep coaching services with a team of livewire-vetted Gentle Sleep Coaches.
Stay tuned!!!

I didn't think I would ever see the day when my sensitive, alert little girl would sleep through the night. It's hard to imagine that just over a month ago she was in our bed for basically the whole night, waking every 1-2 hours and being fed back to sleep each time. Now she's sleeping in her own bed, in her own room, for the whole night with no feeds and only the occasional short wake up.

"I just wanted to hop on and say THANK YOU! We just started sleep training our six-month-old livewire. We took your recommendation and it has been amazing! There was some minor crying on Day 1, but last night was Day 4 and she just rolled over and closed her eyes like it was nothing! What once took two hours at bedtime is now taking 20 minutes max, AND she is sleeping through the night!"

We have felt very isolated and alone as we know no one else with a child with a temperament and personality like ours. You really helped me feel like I’m not going crazy and I’m not doing anything wrong we just have a strong independent live wire!
