your pediatric sleep
& development specialist

As a pediatric sleep and development specialist, I'm dedicated to helping parents navigate the often overwhelming world of infant and child sleep. I work with families of newborns to school-aged children, ensuring that sleep, transitions, and developmental milestones are met with love, science-backed knowledge, and a stress-free approach. My goal is to help you create a nurturing environment where your child thrives while you gain confidence as a parent.

this is my why.

As a mother of two, I’ve lived through the sleepless nights, the pressures of traditional sleep training, and the guilt that often comes with parenting advice. When I had my first child, I felt immense pressure to use the “cry it out” method, but it was devastating for us. That experience led me to research alternative approaches that align with a baby’s natural development. Through my journey, I discovered a science-backed, gentle approach that truly works—and now, I help other families find the same peace and confidence.

Parenting doesn’t have to be a battle. You can enjoy those precious moments with your little one while also getting the rest you need. Let’s work together to create a sleep and development plan that feels right for you and your family—one that prioritizes connection, trust, and well-being.

My journey into pediatric sleep and development began with my career as a nurse. Over ten years, I primarily worked in pediatrics, with additional experience in home care, long-term care, mental health, neonatal intensive care, and complex care. My passion has always been helping children and their families. I believe that a child’s well-being is deeply connected to their family dynamics, and supporting the entire unit is key to a child’s healthy development.

To deepen my expertise, I completed a fully accredited pediatric sleep and development course from Mother Nourish Nurture, a program built on decades of research from specialists, psychologists, pediatricians, and child development experts.

I take a compassionate, research-based approach to sleep and child development. My expertise lies in responsive parenting and attachment theory—scientifically proven methods that prioritize a child’s emotional security, neurological development, and overall well-being.

I guide parents through gentle, biologically normal sleep strategies that do not involve sleep training or “cry it out” methods. Instead, I help parents understand their child’s cues and foster healthy sleep habits without stress, tears, or rigid schedules.

I believe that sleep and developmental transitions should be stress-free and tear-free for both parents and children. My approach is built on:

Attachment Theory – Ensuring that children feel safe and secure, which leads to better sleep and emotional resilience.

Responsive Parenting – Teaching parents how to read their child’s cues and respond appropriately without resorting to rigid schedules or harsh sleep training techniques.

Science-Backed Methods – Using research from pediatricians, psychologists, and child development specialists to create developmentally appropriate strategies for sleep, weaning, and transitions.
Flexibility – Helping families find solutions that work for their unique needs, whether it’s safe co-sleeping, transitioning to independent sleep, or maintaining healthy routines while traveling

why trust me as your sleep expert.

Many parents struggle with common sleep and development challenges, often feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice. I specialize in:

Creating Flexible Schedules

Establishing flexible schedules and routines can make a world of difference. Whether it’s helping children adapt to both crib naps and contact naps, encouraging adaptable sleep habits for travel, or guiding major transitions like moving to a big-kid bed or adjusting to a new sibling, small changes can lead to big improvements in sleep.

Improving
Sleep

Helping infants and toddlers sleep longer isn’t just about getting more rest—it’s about creating healthy sleep habits that work for both parents and little ones. This includes supporting safe co-sleeping options, resolving bedtime struggles and frequent night wakings, and teaching children to sleep in different environments and with various caregivers.

Guiding Nap
Transitions

Nap transitions can be tricky, but with the right approach, they don’t have to be stressful. Parents receive guidance on when and how to adjust nap schedules, supporting children who nap in different locations, and modifying nap lengths based on developmental needs to ensure little ones get the rest they need.

Supporting
Weaning

For parents looking to wean, support is available for both baby-led and parent-led approaches, including gentle night weaning strategies to make the process smoother for everyone.

Identifying Developmental Red Flags

Early identification of developmental red flags can help ensure children get the support they need. Parents receive guidance on screening for potential concerns that may require a specialist—whether that’s a pediatrician, infant massage therapist, or allergist—as well as education on age-appropriate sleep expectations and developmentally supportive strategies.
