About me

After a chronically sleep deprived first year with my son, sleep training saved us. This experience inspired me to become a certified child sleep consultant. In 2018, I completed 16 weeks of intensive training with the Family Sleep Institute and Little Monster Sleep Solutions was born. I believe in safe sleep, vaccines, and following the AAP recommendations. I use a variety of sleep training methods customized for each individual family - as no two children are alike, neither are their sleep plans. My recommendations are heavily research-based with some (safe) anecdotal suggestions thrown in for fun!

Frequently asked questions

What is sleep training?

The term “sleep training” is pretty loaded these days. From my point of view, it is about breaking old, negative sleep habits and forming new ones that are conducive to a good night's sleep. The combination of a developmentally appropriate sleep schedule, good sleep hygiene, love, intention, and introducing new routines goes a long way! It doesn't look the same for every family or every child, which is why ALL of my sleep plans are tailored to your family and your child.

Who can benefit from sleep training?

The whole family! When the little ones sleep, everyone does! Sleep deprivation can increase maternal depression, suppress the immune system, cause serious disruptions to your family life, and lead to behavioral problems down the road. Your evenings will be yours again - knock out chores, finish up work, or just Netflix and chill! It’s never too late to start! You can start as early as 4 months old (from baby’s due date, if they were early), and you can even start encouraging good sleep habits for babies as young as 8 weeks old.

What kinds of problems do you address?

I can help you with any combination of the following issues: -Setting biologically appropriate sleep schedules -Encouraging good sleep hygiene -Eliminating night wakings (except for necessary feedings in young babies) -Ending bedsharing -Night weaning -Bedtime stalling and struggles -Short or non-existent naps -Major transitions such as dropping naps or moving from crib to bed -Rebuilding structure after major life events Don’t see your issue on this list? Call me anyway – we will figure it out together!
