Baby Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist

What is Baby-Led Sleep?

Baby Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist

We created the Baby-Led Sleep™ approach to place an emphasis on a mother’s instinct and a baby's cues. Our mission is to help parents find sleep solutions through responsive parenting practices while building connected relationships. We are passionate about helping families improve sleep without resorting to sleep training, we have developed a program that:

respects and nurtures the attachment system;
supports the natural progression of development;
gives parents an understanding of what “normal” baby sleep looks like;
appreciates your baby’s still-developing brain and dominant survival instinct;
encourages parents to believe and to follow their own instincts; and
empowers a mother to make changes to improve the quality of her baby’s sleep.

RESEARCH ON BRAIN DEVELOPMENT VALIDATES THAT A MOTHER’S INSTINCTS ABOUT HER BABY ARE BEST, AND THIS VITAL FACT IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR APPROACH.

The Baby-Led Sleep™ approach will teach you how to connect with your baby on a deeper level

and how to reinforce important feelings of safety and security so that when developmentally ready, your baby will be prepared and will know how to fall asleep.

OUR APPROACH WILL HELP YOU TO:

understand realistic, age-appropriate expectations about sleep;
learn about yourself as a parent and your impact on your baby’s sleep;
be a responsive parent by listening to your child’s cues and dealing with your child respectfully while supporting any distress, in an effort to build and nurture trust;
create a safe sleep space;
appreciate the emotional work required to support sleep, understand what causes sleep interruptions, and how sleep actually works; and
use the tools that encourage better sleep for your baby, as well as help you gain control over the conditions that affect good sleep, such as your own behavior, nutrition, environmental factors, routines, time, and “village” of support.

Most importantly we are here to empower you to follow your instincts to get more sleep without resorting to separation based techniques. We are here to empower you to believe from the depths of your heart that YOU are the BEST answer for your child. We are here to collaborate with you to find a solution that works for you and your family as a whole. We want to empower you to help your children fall asleep from a place of love and connection.

How will I support you?

I am the safe place when you need someone to talk to about how exhausting and defeating parenting can be some days. I am the guide to help you see your child for who they really are. I am here to help you feel empowered to follow your instincts. I am here to help you to understand you don’t need to be searching for all the parenting answers, because I will guide you in discovering that YOU are the answer for your child. I want to assist you in synchronizing with your baby so you can recognize what is working for you and your baby and what is not. I want you to be able to recognize these things instinctually, while always placing attachment and connection at the highest importance.
