With a background in childhood education and my extensive training in pediatric sleep consulting in Arlington VA and around the United States, I am equipped with the education, training, and skills to help your baby meet his or her sleep goals. First, as a former educator, I have worked with numerous parents over the years to help each of their children reach their full potential. Second, as a Pediatric Sleep Consultant, I have continued this trend of collaboration to ensure children are getting optimal sleep to benefit their overall health and well-being.
Where I excel the most with families is in my follow-up support. I will work with you every step of the way so that you are not alone in the process. I will partner with you through the implementation of a collaborative sleep plan – through any successes and setbacks we encounter – answering any questions or concerns you have, and being there to support and guide you.
If you have a baby or child who is experiencing sleep issues, I would be happy to investigate further and get to the heart of the issue. Sleep is a biological necessity, not a luxury. It is an important component to a healthy lifestyle.
I have been personally selected, trained, and mentored by Dana Obleman, the renowned pediatric sleep expert and founder of the Sleep Sense Program. The Sleep Sense methods have been used by over 100,000 families (and counting) to solve their children’s sleep issues. I am one of the less than 200 Sleep Sense consultants in the world.
A Word from Happy Parents

Healthy Sleep for Everyone
You might be remembering a time when you could sleep in, go to bed late and wake up feeling rested and energized. A newborn changes all of that, for sure. Unfortunately, most of us aren’t prepared for the days, weeks, months, and years of helping a baby develop good sleeping habits, all while being sleep deprived ourselves.
Most parents turn to their own parents, well-meaning friends, and even Google to help them find answers. Have you noticed that everyone has an opinion about how to help babies sleep? It can get really confusing, and the frustration only creates more tension in a home filled with tired, worn-out family members. There are so many possible answers and variables that play into why your baby is not sleeping well. I will get to the heart of your baby’s sleep issues. By the end of our time together, you will feel comfortable, confident, and supported.
Your newborn, your baby, your toddler, your child – he or she is different from others and has his or her own set of needs. When I work with you, I’ll make sure the advice I provide is age-appropriate and is defined specifically for your family and lifestyle. I factor in your baby or child’s personality, feeding habits, developmentally appropriate wake windows, family dynamics, developmental stage, bedroom set up, sleep goals, and the list goes on.
If you’re reading this and finding yourself relating, please reach out to me today. We can have a free evaluation call to discuss what’s going on right now with your baby’s sleep. Once we’ve spoken and I understand your situation, I will offer ways to help you. Healthy sleep habits are right around the corner!
