Nationwide Baby Sleep Consultant & Infant Sleep Specialist | Based in Cleveland, Ohio

You aren't just "tired." You’re ready for a change. If "crying it out" or rigid schedules don't feel right for you, you’re in the right place.

We believe sleep is a relationship, not a set of rules.

Your baby isn't a textbook, and you shouldn't have to parent like one. I’m here to help you lean into what you already know about your child and use that to get everyone more sleep. No rigid timers or ignoring your gut, just a practical way to get your nights back.

Sleep Support for Every Stage

Helping Your Baby Sleep Whether you’re right in the thick of that 4-month sleep regression or just want to set up some solid sleep habits from the start, we can help. My virtual coaching is all about gentle, evidence-based ways to get your baby sleeping longer stretches without the stress.

Toddler Sleep Support Bedtime shouldn’t be a battle. If you’re dealing with middle-of-the-night wakeups or trying to figure out the move from a crib to a big-kid bed, I’ll create a plan that actually fits your toddler's personality. We focus on being consistent and kind so everyone can finally get some rest.

Virtual Support, Anywhere You don’t need to live in Cleveland to work with me. I offer full virtual consultations that you can do right from your couch. While I’m based here in Ohio, I help families across the country get their sleep back on track through simple, remote coaching.

The Real Benefits of Working Together

Virtual Support (No House-Cleaning Required) Working virtually is just simpler for everyone. Whether you’re nearby in Northeast Ohio or halfway across the country, you get my full support without the stress of hosting someone. We can tackle those 4-month sleep regressions or big toddler transitions right from your couch, exactly where you're comfortable.

Sleep is Just Overnight Parenting I’ve always looked at sleep coaching as an extension of how you parent during the day. Your child relies on you and needs to feel safe to actually rest. My approach is rooted in being responsive and kind because that connection you've built shouldn't disappear just because the lights went out.

Real life isn’t a tidy schedule.

Let’s be honest—teething happens. So do fevers, big growth spurts, and the kind of life changes that just throw everything off. There are going to be nights when your child simply needs you more, and that is perfectly okay.

Life happens. Sleep changes.

Let’s be real: sleep isn’t something you just check off a to-do list and never think about again. Kids get sick. They start teething. They hit those huge growth spurts that leave everyone exhausted. And in those moments? They might just need you more. That’s okay.

I’m not here to just "fix" your baby and disappear. I want to give you the actual tools to handle the messy stuff. We’ll work on getting back to those quiet, secure nights even when life gets in the way. My job isn't just helping you survive the next few days—it’s making sure you feel steady enough to handle whatever sleep challenges come at you down the road.

"Waiting for the Morning Sun"*: The Guide to Night Weaning

A Story for Them, A Strategy for You.

A Gentle Guide to the Night

Bedtime shouldn't feel like a battle. Waiting for the Morning Sun was written to help toddlers (and their parents) find peace when the sun goes down.

Instead of focusing on "sleep training," this story focuses on the bond between you and your child. Through soft illustrations and a calming rhythm, it helps little ones understand that even though the house is quiet, they are safe, loved, and never truly alone.

It’s the perfect companion for families navigating night weaning, transitioning to a toddler bed, or simply looking for a more peaceful way to end the day.
