Child Sleep Consultant - Sleep Training Solutions

For 1-6 Year Olds

Say goodbye to the bedtime drama, midnight wanderings, and crack-of-dawn wakeups.

I'll give you the blueprint to get your child to fall asleep more easily and quickly and sleep through the night!

Your family has been struggling with your child's sleep problems for months...maybe even years?

You keep thinking your child will grow out of this stage and magically stop stalling at bedtime and learn how to sleep through the night.

But your child's sleep isn't improving. He's cranky and you know he needs more sleep. You ALL need more sleep.

You're out of ideas...you just want an expert to assess the sleep situation, tell you exactly what to do, step-by-step...and make sure it actually works!

Do any of these sound familiar?

Your preschooler pops out of bed 42 times at bedtime and comes looking for you and nothing you try gets him to stay put…

You have to lie down with your child every night for her to fall asleep at bedtime and she wakes up if you leave too soon...

Your toddler is fighting naptime. You know she still needs to nap because you can barely get to dinnertime without several meltdowns…

Your child shows up at your bedside in the middle of the night and sometimes crawls into your bed and you don't even notice...

You never know how long your child is going to stay asleep once he falls asleep at bedtime - there's no consistency, every night is different...

Your child is visibly tired and crabby and you know she just needs to get a couple more hours of sleep every night....

I get it.

I was a sleep-deprived mom for 18 loooong months...

Why did I wait so long? My son was born with a rare condition (he's had 16 surgeries). I was hesitant to start because of the stigma of sleep training...so I just tried the "no cry" approach. For 18 months.

Clearly, that did not work for us. So I found a method that wasn't "cry-it-out" where I could comfort him while he was learning these new skills.

After just a few days of sleep training and seeing how much happier and healthier he was, I completely changed my tune.

Sleep training is not something to feel guilty about. Teaching your baby to sleep is literally one of the best gifts you can give your child!

And now, I have the best job helping children learn to sleep so EVERYONE in the family can be well-rested :)

Imagine what it would feel like to...

To enjoy putting your child to bed...no more stalling or bedtime drama!

Have a child that consistently sleeps 11-12 hours overnight and takes better naps.

Know you can binge Netflix in the evening, because your child fell asleep quickly... and will stay asleep until morning!

What if I said we could make that a reality

in less than 2 weeks?

Private Consultations for 1-6 year olds is a 3-week coaching program for parents who want a personalized plan with expert guidance and support every step of the way to teach their child how to fall asleep independently, so that everyone can get a good night's sleep.

Here's what is included in your 1-1 coaching:

Questionnaire

First you need to tell me all the details about your child's sleep - the good, the bad, and the ugly! I want to know how things have changed, what you've tried before, what the sleeping environment looks like, what schedules you need to work around with other children or your work, etc.

Consultation

We'll either have a 60-75 minute consultation by phone or Zoom or in person, depending on which package you choose. We'll go over everything you need to know for Night 1, the first day of naps and beyond.

Bedroom Assessment

We'll do a walk through of your child's bedroom to assess light, sound, temperature, furniture placement, sleepwear and any items that are needed (or are a hazard) for safe and optimal sleep.

Personalized Sleep Plan

This plan will be customized with methods and strategies based on your child's needs and temperament, your parenting philosophy and any unique circumstances for bedtime, night wakings, early morning wakings, naps and short naps.

Follow-up Calls

During our three weeks together, we'll have four follow-up calls to check progress and adapt strategies as needed to get results as quickly as possible! On our last call, we'll talk about what to expect with changes in schedules, etc.

Sleep Log Tracker

We will track your child's sleep at nighttime and for naps on a spreadsheet so we can see trends and adjust schedules as needed.

Unlimited Email

During our three weeks, you'll have unlimited email to ask questions throughout the day - no question is too silly or small! I want to make sure you understand exactly what we're doing and I'm happy to clarify anything you need. And if you just need a pep talk, I'm your cheerleader!

FAQ Guide

Towards the end of email support, I'll share a 50+ page document of frequently asked questions from past clients over the years - on all things from travel and moving houses, to moving to a big bed and sharing a room with a sibling.

Nanny Cheatsheet and Babysitter Checklist

I'll give you templates for a cheatsheet on naps for your nanny or other caregiver and a checklist for your babysitter for bedtime that you can either print and fill out or fill out online in the fillable PDF.

Package Options for Accelerate to Better Sleep:

* For twins, a total of 5 follow-up calls are included.

Ready to Transform Your Baby's Sleep?

I'M READY FOR SLEEP!

Kim is the "trifecta" - so knowledgeable about how to solve sleep issues, compassionate and understanding that sleep training can be hard and just explains things really well!

~ Carrie, Mom from IL

We tried bits and pieces of sleep training and it never worked. Kim gave the analogy of what we were doing as trying to put a puzzle together with pieces from multiple boxes. That totally hit home and made us realize we needed a plan to follow. With her plan, it worked. Really well.

~ Jaime, Mom from DC

Everyone is more rested, happier and healthier. My husband and I are able to be fully present with our daughter, instead of tired and cranky. My daughter's mood has completely changed - she's no longer fussy!

~ Katie, Mom from PA

This coaching program is a fantastic fit for you right now if:

You know your child needs more sleep for his health, growth and development
You understand that this will not be a cry-free experience and know that within a short time, your child will learn to fall asleep without protesting
You and your spouse are both committed to following your sleep plan 100% for the first few weeks
You’re ready to get your child's sleep on track, you just need a plan to follow and support and guidance along the way
Your pediatrician has given you the green light to start sleep training

This coaching program isn't the best fit for you right now if:

You are very uncomfortable when your child cries for a few minutes or more
Your spouse doesn’t think you need to change anything – or that you should be able to do it yourself
You want to continue co-sleeping
Your pediatrician has told you to hold off on sleep training
Your child has a medical issue that is not under control yet
You can't commit to being home at bedtime and for naps during the day (or having your spouse or regular caregiver be home) - so that means you just need to look at your calendar and find a better time!

SCHEDULE AN EVALUATION CALL

Maybe you're thinking...

I've tried sleep training before...why will this time be different?

If you tried on your own, there were likely key factors that you didn't include in your plan. Or you didn't have a well thought out plan. Or you didn't follow through and your child learned there are loopholes to get you to cave and get all those things back that she wants (ie getting you to lie down with her at bedtime!).

Many of my clients have tried sleep training on their own and once they get the information in our consultation, a lightbulb goes off and they see how all the pieces are supposed to fit together.

How much crying is involved with this coaching program?

This is not CIO. I believe sleep training should involve comforting and supporting your child throughout the process.

That said, there will be crying. It's your child's way of saying, "I liked the "old way" where you [blank]!" (ie laid down in her bed until she fell asleep, let her sleep in your bed, rocked her to sleep, etc.)

As we remove any sleep associations and get your child on the right schedule, the protesting will naturally diminish because your child will learn how to fall asleep independently.

What if I have to stop sleep training...and come back to it later?

If something unexpected happens during our three weeks (ie your child gets the flu, you get called out of town for work on short notice, etc), you have 60 days to use the follow-up support (from the day of the consultation) so that the information from the consultation is still relevant.

Just keep in mind, the more times you start and stop, the harder it will be to get the results you're looking for because your child will start seeing patterns of not following through with sleep training attempts and try to find loopholes!

Frequently asked questions

Here are a few answers to our most common questions:

DO YOU DO CRY IT OUT?

No, I don't believe children should be left all night without comfort or checking it! I couldn’t do that with my child, and I wouldn’t ask you to do something I haven’t done myself!

That said, unfortunately there will be some crying. If there was magic fairy dust to make it a cry free experience, I would gladly share it with you.

BUT that’s why you have me.

I can optimize his schedule and choose the best method for YOUR child to minimize the crying as much as possible.

And you’ll be in the room comforting and teaching him how to do it on his own – so you’re not leaving him alone all night.

WE BOTH WORK FULL-TIME. HOW DOES THAT WORK?

I always suggest starting over a long weekend. If you can take off a Monday and your spouse can take off a Tuesday (or you can work from home) – that’s ideal. Having 4 days to follow the plan before handing things over to daycare will help a lot. And then you'll only have 3 days before the next weekend.

If you have a nanny in your home, it isn’t as big of an issue to take time off because presumably your nanny will follow the plan as you would have.

I will also be giving you tips on working with daycare and how to prep your nanny!

DOES THE PROGRAM WORK IF YOUR CHILD IS IN A CRIB OR A BED?

I recommend keeping your child in the crib until age 3. If your child is close to that age and has already transitioned to a bed, we can discuss options during the evaluation call.

CAN I CONTINUE BREASTFEEDING WHILE SLEEP TRAINING?

Of COURSE! I’m a huge fan of breastfeeding – it’s such a great bonding experience for you both, not to mention the health benefits!

I don’t focus on how you feed your child…I just want to make sure that there isn't a feed-sleep association!

CAN I CO-SLEEP DURING SLEEP TRAINING?

No. When families are ready to stop co-sleeping because it’s not working for everyone (you, your spouse and your child), then that’s where I come in to get your child transitioned to the crib or bed in his room.

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

No. My policy is to get payment in full at the time of the consultation.

I’m happy to invoice you in installments prior to our consultation, but again, complete payment must be received by the time we have our consult.

Before you go...

If you've read this far, I have a feeling that...

You're curious, wondering if this could really work for YOUR child.

You're hopeful that it could be the answer you've been looking for, because it's been months (years?) since everyone had a good night's sleep.

Take the first step and see!

You've got nothing to lose.

So what are you waiting for?
