Newborn and infant sleep coaching
For new babies up to age 15 months, your coach will help determine sleep training techniques that work for your family and your unique situation. Issues we commonly see at this stage are:
- Confusing days with nights
- Frequent nighttime feedings
- Sleep regression
- Not falling asleep on their own
- Crying through the night
Toddler sleep coaching
Chasing kids that are on the move can be exhausting. Pair that with sleep challenges, and it's a recipe for total burn out. Our toddler sleep coaches help kids aged 16 months to 3 years with issues like:
- Transitioning from crib to bed
- Waking up too early
- Refusing to fall asleep
- Separation anxiety
- Nightmares and night terrors

Preschool sleep coaching
Coaching for this age group typically starts with working to discover the root of your child's sleep problems to put a stop to them once and for all (and to all a good night). Sleep coaches for 3 to 5-year-olds typically work on:
- Waning off of naps
- Going to bed too late
- Waking up too early
- Refusing to sleep in their own bed
School-aged sleep coaching
There aren't a ton of sleep-challenge resources out there for older kids but our coaches specialize in helping kids aged 6 to 12 fall asleep and stay asleep. Primary concerns with this group include:
- Screen time interfering with bedtime
- Kids coming into your room throughout the night
- Waking up too early
- Making you stay in their room until they fall asleep
- Fear of sleepovers/sleeping away from home
- Daytime sleepiness, especially at school
Sleep Coaching for Kids of All Ages
Help your kid(s) fall asleep and stay asleep, starting today.
After 9 years of struggling, my husband and I decided to reach out to a coach for help. Our sweet boy found bed time to be a real struggle and we ended up with him in our bed EVERY NIGHT. Our coach changed our lives. Our boy moved into a new room that he feels comfortable in, and he now has a set of tools to help him self-soothe. As a family we are so much happier. My husband and I have our evenings back, and my child is confident, proud, and going to bed and sleeping through the night easily and without fear.

Benefits of sleep coaching
Our goal is to improve the quality of sleep for your child (and in turn, you, as parents). The research tells us that better sleep in kids translates to:
- An easier time regulating emotions: Fewer tantrums, improved performance in school and social activities, better behavior during the day.
- Growth and development: Growth hormone is produced during sleep, and this is also when the brain does the bulk of information processing and storage from the day.
- Increased immune function: Well-rested kids are better-positioned to fight off bugs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you use the cry-it-out method for babies?
This is a strategy that can be utilized in sleep coaching, and it's also a strategy we can stay away from. It's is really a parent-led decision and based on whatever is best for that family and that child. In our experience, it can work faster if we do some elements of cry-it-out, but that doesn't mean that's our only success strategy.
Are you going to make us stop co-sleeping?
As registered nurses and certified infant sleep specialists, we do advocate for children to sleep in their own environment so that they get the best quality sleep possible. So that could be something we work towards — breaking that habit of sleeping together in the same bed or room.
Do you coach multiple children from the same family?
Yes! Twins are the most common, but we coach kids of different ages all the time. It does require having separate coaching plans and coaching support for each sibling: a 4-year-old might be a good fit for the 1-week program while an 8-year-old would be a candidate for the 5-week sleep school. We would work with the 8-year-old directly, whereas we would work with the parents on the plan and support for the 4-year-old.
Does this program work for kids living in separate households?
Absolutely. We will meet with everyone involved in your child's care via Zoom: mom, dad, grandma, maybe a nanny is involved with napping or putting to bed — everyone is invited. We'll go through the plan and highlight where to start. Maybe it's bedtime, if that's our biggest battle. We'll try the plan for a minimum of three days and touch base once a day via phone, text, or the Rested app. From there, it's adaptable. We'll work together and discuss what we're seeing and what we need to continue working on.
How do I know this is really going to work?
Similar to if you are going to a doctor for, as an example, chronic anxiety or stomach aches, we're going to try a lot of things. The goal is always that we will make improvements. We can't say with 100 percent certainty that we will get your 4-year-old sleeping 11 hours every night with no wake-ups. But we can promise to be responsive, professional, and to make improvements.
