I am the mother of 3 amazing children, two energetic boys, ages six and four, and a sweet and sassy two year old girl. While I sleep trained all 3 of my children during infancy, my biggest struggle came when my second was around 17 months old. For over a year we struggled with split nights, where he'd wake up for anywhere from 1.5-5 hours straight in the middle of the night and just not be able to go back to sleep, despite his best efforts at going back to sleep.

In those moments nothing his father or I did seemed to help him get back to sleep any faster. Knowing how important sleep is for development I made it my mission to help solve this for both my son and our family.

All my research is what also led me to find Kim West and her Sleep Lady Shuffle to implement when the time came with my youngest. I wanted a more gentle method than I had implemented with my boys, and this was what I needed to feel like I was supporting her in her time of need as she learned a new skill.

Now I have all my kids sleeping more soundly, which means so am I. I don't have to pick between which child I have to attend to in the middle of the night, which for months was the challenge that left me feeling defeated. Having to decide which child cried in their bed while I helped the other was such a helpless feeling that I don't wish on any mother.

These sleep challenges are what created a passion in me, or as my husband says "an obsession", about sleep. These experiences and my passion for sleep is what made me decide to become a Certified Gentle Sleep Coach in order to help other families get back to restful nights.

Being able to find that light at the end of the tunnel can feel so out of reach at times and that's what I want to do for other families, I want to be able to hold that light for them until they can on their own.

If you are stressed and exhausted, and need someone to help you find that light, please contact me so that we can help figure out a personalized plan to help your family get the rest they deserve.
