There is a lot between leaving a child to cry to sleep through traditional sleep training methods and waiting months or years for their sleep to improve. Let me guide you through the middle ground - The Holistic Approach to optimising your baby or child's sleep.
This gentle, nurturing and parent empowering approach is for those who need support with their child's sleep however do not wish to use non-responsive sleep training methods such as 'Cry It Out' or 'Pick up Put down'.
If you cannot 'wait it out' due to sleep deprivation, starting back work, expecting another baby or maybe you are in a sleep crisis - you DO have an option to improve your little ones sleep without needing to sleep train. The Holistic Approach is not only evidence based - but also encourages families to learn life long skills to support their parenting journey for years to come.

The Holistic Approach can be implemented at any point of your sleep journey. Whether it's your newborn baby, a very excited toddler at bedtime, or a 5 year old who is struggling to settle for bed due to worries of school - there are many tools and techniques you can use to optimise your families sleep throughout these years.
Holistic Sleep Coaching takes into consideration the many factors that influence a baby or child's sleeping patterns. This includes their temperament, developmental readiness, family circumstances, age, environment among other key areas while also prioritising attachment, bonding and the child's need for co-regulation. Since these factors are variable to each child and situation, holistic sleep coaching prescribes a tailored approach to optimising sleep in your family home.
