Early Years Sleep Consulting
PEDIATRIC SLEEP CONSULTING
At Early Years Sleep Consulting, I work with families to help their little ones establish healthy and independent sleep habits, so everyone can get the rest they deserve. I provide 1:1 individualized support and guidance every step of the way, reminding you that you are never alone.
BETTER SLEEP FOR BABY, BRIGHTER DAYS FOR YOU.
gentle sleep solutions for babies & toddlers
You Don't Need to Resort to "Cry-it-Out"
As a mom myself, I know that instinctual feeling of wanting to comfort your crying baby. Sleep training does not have to feel like you're abandoning your child--and it shouldn't.
There are many gentle, yet effective strategies that can provide parents with the opportunity to comfort their baby, all while instilling good sleep habits. Your baby will learn independent sleep while still feeling attended to and cared for. We will work together to discuss all options and find the right fit for you and your family.
It's 2 AM...
you wake up to your baby crying. So you pick them up from their crib and try rocking them to sleep. After about 30 minutes, you transfer them back in their crib and return to bed, only to wake up an hour later. The cycle repeats nightly and you find yourself Googling, "ways to get my baby to sleep" along with ChatGPT's inconsistent guidance.
Sound familiar?
It doesn't have to be this way.
You shouldn't feel exhausted day after day, overwhelmed by conflicting information on the internet, and second-guessing if you're doing the right thing. As a parent, you already carry so much, and your baby's sleep shouldn't be another stressor.
Someone to help guide you, not overwhelm you.
My approach is educational, supportive, and collaborative--whether that's a slower and gentler transition, or a more efficient plan, we will move at a pace that feels right for you and your family.
TOGETHER, WE WILL COME UP WITH A SLEEP SOLUTION THAT WORKS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, SO YOU CAN GET BACK THOSE RESTFUL NIGHTS.

SLEEP THROUGH A SENSORY-INFORMED LENS
Because sometimes bedtime isn’t just about sleep.
As a licensed pediatric occupational therapist for nearly 10 years, I have had extensive experience working with children who have different sensory processing needs. Some toddlers may have a harder time settling their bodies at bedtime or transitioning away from play.
For children with sensory differences, I incorporate sensory-informed strategies and activities into sleep plans when appropriate.
What might this look like?
Depending on your child’s individual needs, the following may be recommended:
- Proprioceptive input
- Movement activities
- Deep breathing and oral-motor activities
- Deep pressure massage
- Sensory-friendly bedtime routines
- Sleep environment adjustments
Every child’s sensory needs are different.
There is no "one-size-fits-all" sensory activity—and more sensory input isn't always better.
For toddlers who have difficulty winding down, transitioning to bedtime, or regulating their bodies, incorporating organized, sensory-based activities and/or environmental adjustments, can make a significant impact on your child's sleep.
Factors such as temperament, developmental stage, sleep patterns, sensory preferences, and family routine are all considered when putting a sleep plan into place. Sensory-informed strategies can be very useful in creating calm, predictable transitions into sleep that fit naturally into your family's routine.
