Below is a little science to emphasize the critical importance of prioritizing healthy sleep habits for your child right from the start:
Growth and Development: During sleep, babies release growth hormones that are essential for physical development. Their brains and bodies are rapidly growing, and sleep supports this process.
Brain Development: Sleep is critical for cognitive development. It helps in forming neural connections and consolidating memories. Babies' brains are highly active during sleep, processing and organizing the vast amount of information they gather throughout the day.
Emotional Regulation: Adequate sleep helps babies regulate their emotions and cope with stress. Sleep deprivation can make them more irritable and less able to manage their feelings.
Immune System: Good sleep boosts the immune system, helping babies fight off infections and illnesses. A well-rested baby is less susceptible to common illnesses.
Physical Health: Sleep supports overall health by helping with metabolic processes, including maintaining a healthy weight and regulating appetite.
Learning and Development: Babies learn and absorb a lot from their environment. Sleep helps in processing this information and applying it, supporting their overall learning and developmental milestones.
Sleep plays a vital role in the overall health, growth, and development of your child.
"Cate is fabulous!"
"Our strong-willed, six-month-old daughter has fought every nap and bedtime since the day she was born. After months of trying to change her behavior, she was still waking every hour, on the hour and my husband and I were completely exhausted. My sister recommended Cate’s services and since then, we have not looked back." - Vanessa
"Cate was instrumental in getting our 16-week-old to sleep."
My husband and I felt like we had a new lease on life! As soon as we conquered nighttime sleep, Cate then gave us a schedule for naps as well, and how to adjust the schedule with age. Her meticulous detail and attentiveness to our son and his preferences (as well as ours) was crucial to his sleep progress and adhering to a proper schedule. We are so grateful for her help and have used her plans with our other two babies ever since! – Tori and Kyle
"Thank you so much Cate for everything"
Cate is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and she helped us to understand why our methods weren’t helping our daughter to sleep. She restructured our schedule and gave us methods to teach our little one to self-sooth using a balanced approach that was sensitive to her needs, whilst setting clear boundaries.
"Our little lady sleeps peacefully!"
The difference is astonishing and now our little lady sleeps through the night and goes to bed without a fuss. There is work on your end and Cate is upfront about that, but the results speak for themselves. Thank you so much, Cate! – Georgia J.

IS SLEEP TRAINING THE SAME AS LETTING MY CHILD CRY IT OUT?
What does my customized sleep plan include?
How does the process work?
WILL SLEEP TRAINING HARM MY CHILD OR AFFECT OUR BOND?
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see improvement in my child's sleep?
HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?
Initial assessment: Through a phone consultation, detailed questionnaire, and sleep logs as needed, I will gather information from you regarding your child's sleep habits, routines, environment and challenges.
Customized Sleep Plan: Based on the assessment information, I then create a customized sleep plan tailored to your child's needs and the family's goals. This plan typically includes recommendations for bedtime routines, sleep schedules, sleep environment adjustments, and strategies for addressing sleep challenges such as night waking, early rising, difficulty falling asleep, or short naps.

WHAT DOES MY CUSTOMIZED SLEEP PLAN INCLUDE?
- 2+ sleep training technique options for you to choose from and implement. I determine the techniques based on your child’s temperament and your assessment information.
- Guidance on sleep hygiene, self-soothing techniques, age-appropriate sleep expectations, and strategies for managing future regressions or transitions.
- Support and Follow-Up: Throughout the implementation of the sleep plan I provide ongoing support and guidance to your family. This will involve regular check-ins to monitor progress, address any concerns or obstacles, and will make adjustments to the plan as needed. I am here to be your cheerleaders throughout this process! I want you to feel encouraged and reassured until your child has met his or her sleep goals.
- Continued Support: I am here for you in the long run, too! Always reach out should a new sleep challenge arise in your household. It is incredibly important to me that our clients maintain these healthy sleep habits over the long term.
IS SLEEP TRAINING THE SAME AS LETTING MY CHILD CRY IT OUT?
NO! I do not believe in using the cry-it-out method. I have a range of tried-and-true gentle sleep training techniques that fit every child’s temperament. While some methods may involve periods of crying, others are milder and more hands on with a focus on gradual changes to help children learn to self soothe and sleep independently. I will work collaboratively with you based on your comfort level to determine which technique is best for your child. Do keep in mind, however, that crying is your infant’s way of communicating with you. I will help you determine the meaning behind each of your child’s various cries, and how to address them while showing your steadfast love and support.
WILL SLEEP TRAINING HARM MY CHILD OR AFFECT OUR BOND?
No! Research has proven that sleep training methods, when implemented appropriately and with sensitivity to the child's
needs, do not harm children or negatively impact parent- child attachment. We always emphasize the importance of responsive parenting and meeting your child's emotional needs during waking hours, and provide you a variety of ways in which to do so.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE IMPROVEMENT IN MY CHILD'S SLEEP?
The timeline for seeing improvements in your child's sleep can vary depending on factors such as their age, temperament, and your consistency in implementing the sleep plan. Some families may see improvements within a few days to a week, while others may take closer to two weeks. The more hands off the approach, the sooner you are likely to see results, and conversely the more gentle the approach the longer it will take to see improvement. Please note that we will not leave you hanging until you are satisfied with your child’s results!
