Consistency is the key to success

There is no "one size fits all" approach; I do much more than simply fit a family and child into a formula. By educating parents on what is age appropriate and realistic, together we create a plan based on a gentle approach. My education involves over 120 hours of training, an exam and participation in semi-monthly case supervision. Clinical supervision and ongoing advanced training are required to maintain certification as a Gentle Sleep Coach. Some of the training topics have included but are not limited to the following areas:

•       Basic counseling and Child Development
•       Sleep Science
•       Behavioral Modification Techniques
  
•       Secure Attachment Theory
•       Supporting the Breastfeeding Mom
•       Newborn soothing techniques

Lectures from top specialists in the areas of:

•       Medical Conditions and Sleep Apnea in Children led by Dr Lewis Kass, Director of Children’s Sleep Center 
•       Sensory Processing Disorders and Sleep by Jodi Jennings, OTLR
•       Postpartum Depression from Dr Shoshana Bennett, author and leading specialist on Postpartum        Depression
•       GURD and Sleep led by Dr Anthony Loizides, pediatric gastroentrologist

 
As a Gentle Sleep Coach, it is my job to coach you on the right strategy for your specific situation and for your child's needs.  With my guidance and your consistent commitment to a personalized sleep plan, you will see results, and you and your child will begin to enjoy the benefits of a good night's sleep.  It's all about your family's quality of life.
