Want to TalK About Your Child's Sleep?
Sleep Consultant Based in New Jersey
Also Offering Specialist Support to Parents of Children With Additional Needs
Did you know that not all "sleep consultants" have formal training?
But I firmly believe in proper education, certification, and training.
When I embarked on my journey to become a sleep consultant, in New Jersey, I knew I wanted to be the best.
That's why I received exceptional formal training, completed unprecedented coursework, and became officially certified by the prestigious Family Sleep Institute.
Imagine having a sleep consultant who not only understands the biology of sleep but also possesses expertise in behavior modification AND understands your local area.
With over 15 years of experience as a special education teacher and training as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), I can offer you a comprehensive approach to teaching children healthy sleep habits.
Let's work together to overcome those challenging moments and create lasting solutions.
Ready to take the next step?
Let me be your trusted sleep coach!
I passionately incorporate mindfulness techniques into sleep programs, giving you an invaluable tool to enhance your family's well-being. Whether you choose to follow these techniques now or later, the choice is yours. Together, we'll create a customized approach that aligns with your comfortability, family values, and individualized parenting philosophies.
I LOVE sleep, but I'm also a real person, too! When I'm not helping families with their baby's sleep, I find joy in spending time with my husband and two precious girls. My dedication to helping others extended beyond sleep consulting, as I was a special education teacher in a self-contained, out-of-district placement for 15 years.
It's in helping others that I have found my true purpose.
So, if you're a tired caregiver yearning for support, guidance, and education, I invite you to join me on this transformative journey.
Together, we'll conquer your family's sleep challenges and make peaceful nights and rejuvenated mornings a reality.

Are you ready to rewrite your sleep story?
Imagine being the parent who everyone envies because your child sleeps so well. You're the one who can always make it to your child's activities on time, because your child always naps for at least 1 hour at predictable times.
Bedtime is a pleasant way to end your day, because your child goes down easily and sleeps through the night.
You wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. You have time to get things done, spend quality time with your partner, and most importantly, have time for yourself.
You deserve sleep.
It's perfectly okay to expect your child to sleep soundly.
And it doesn't make you a bad parent!
There are many things you can do to help your child sleep better. Here are a few tips:
-
Establish a consistent sleep schedule and stick to it as much as possible, even on weekends.
-
Create a relaxing bedtime routine that helps your child wind down before bed.
-
Make sure your child's bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool.
-
Avoid giving your child caffeine or sugary drinks before bed.
-
Ditch drowsy but awake: put your child to awake, so they learn the skill of putting themselves to sleep.
-
Respond to your child's night wakings promptly and calmly, in a manner that aligns with your parenting style.
-
Be patient and consistent, and don't give up!
If you're struggling to get your child to sleep through the night, don't hesitate to seek professional help. A pediatric sleep consultant can help you create a sleep plan that works for your child and your family.

What can I expect when working with you?You can expect that your sleep goals will be either achieved or exceeded by the end of 2 weeks together. After I write a personalized sleep program for your child and explain all of the details on a 60-minute virtual call, I will be there to guide you through the process of implementing the program. The level of support you receive will vary depending on which package you choose, however, it is my commitment to be there as your guide, cheerleader, coach, and accountability partner as your child learns the life-long skill of independent sleep.
-
What is included in your sleep programs?My sleep programs are all personalized for your individual child and their sleep needs. All programs include, but are not limited to: sleep environment recommendations, schedule changes (accommodations for daycare, sibling pick-ups, etc. are included!), the science of sleep explanation, sleep training method (I teach 4 different methods), behavior modification support, morning time routine, nap troubleshooting, bedtime routine, what to do if they are sick/teething, etc. You will receive a PDF version of the program. All programs included varied levels of follow-up support.

This is expensive! Can’t I read a book or use free resources instead of hiring a sleep consultant?Sleep is priceless. Your child’s sleep health is priceless. Your mental health and ability to function during that day are priceless. So, if you have already tried to implement a schedule, have a sleep environment, or even tried a sleep training method on your own and are still seeing night wakings, inconsistent naps, and bedtime battles, your child may not be responding well to these one-size-fits-all recommendations. I take the guesswork out of sleep training and provide you with proven practices that will teach your toddler to sleep. I am there to guide you, support you, and feel confident enough to trust the process. You can rest assured that, with your consistency, my sleep plans will help to accomplish your goals.

Do you only use the “cry it out” method?No! No! No! As a sleep expert, it makes me cringe when I hear the sensationalized term “cry it out” to describe any method used with babies and young children. While most experts (sleep consultants and medical practitioners alike) agree that there is no such thing as a “no cry” sleep solution, I believe no baby or child should just be left alone in their crib to cry. This is not what I consider sleep training. Sleep training is the entire package: the timing of sleep, the amount of sleep, the sleep hygiene, the sleep environment, and the sleep method. I help your family in all of these areas and create a plan that includes the method you are comfortable implementing and that your child responds best to.
