Achieve restfulness for the entire family
Achieve restfulness for the entire family
Parenthood is hard work, and it is even harder when we are sleep deprived! We can only be our best self for our children if we are well rested. Did you know children can sleep through the night starting at 4 months of age? Book a FREE 15 minute consult to learn more, because everyone deserves and needs a good night's rest.
As a Naturopathic Doctor (currently non-practising and on maternity leave with anticipated return on June 2024), I witness first hand what lack of sleep can do to our health. Sleep is a necessity, and it plays an important role in the foundation for health. It is so important to nurture healthy sleep at a young age, so we can support our children in the right path for maximum well-being, potential and restfulness.
After obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of British Columbia, I continued my education at Boucher Insitute of Naturopathic Medicine and currently hold a license to practice Naturopathic Medicine.
I am a mother of beautiful, spirited, loving, and funny kids. They have brought me more joy than I could ever imagine, but with that, also a great loss of sleep :) I am able to smile about that now because sleep training has helped our family tremendously. When I first became a mother, for a long time I didn't understand why my son wasn't sleeping on his own. He always had to be held, nursed, or strolled around in order to fall asleep without a fight. People told me he would grow out of it, or eventually he will learn; but how and when? Well, I got tired (literally) of waiting and we did sleep training. Having experienced how amazing it is to recover my sleep, it has driven me to pursue training to become a sleep consultant through Family Sleep Institute. I feel so passionate about supporting other families in regaining healthy sleep again.
Supporting healthy sleep
habits from the beginning!
2 weeks of support
for improving
your child's sleep.
We typically begin to see improvement within the first week and often by day 3! When it comes to teaching your child how to fall into a routine and to self soothe, consistency is absolute key! The better we are able to keep consistent, the faster the child will learn.
There are a few methods and tools under my belt that range from very gentle techniques to more direct techniques (commonly referred to as extinction/cry-it-out). It is up to the family to decide what method suits best. I will provide you with all the information during the consult to help with your decision. Once the plan is made, you have an opportunity to approve it before we begin the process.
Absolutely. Not only does helping your child sleep improve their cognition, ability to learn, focus, behavior, immunity, and other developmental functions, it also allows you to have adequate sleep! Sleep is such an integral part of life and health, so give it the attention it needs.
I recommend a framework for sleep scheduling that sets your family and child up for success. I understand sometimes this isn't possible, and I will work around that to come up with a customized sleep plan that is most realistic to follow through with. The goal is to achieve what we need to in the shortest amount of time with as minimal tears as possible! My priority is to make sure your concerns are met with realistic solutions that we can both come to an agreement to.
It depends. Some methods are more involved than others, and it also depends on the sleep habits of the individual child. I would book a 15 minute discovery call/visit to inquire about the possibility. Most parents find it generally easier to focus on one child at a time, unless we are dealing with twins! In the case of twins, we would sleep train them together.
Of course!
