What can I expect at our first visit?

You can expect an unrushed appointment where I take the time to truly understand what’s happening with your child’s sleep and how it’s affecting your child and your entire family. We will discuss the possible root causes of your child’s sleep challenges and agree on a plan to get your child sleeping 10+ hours. By the end of the call, you'll walk away with a clear understanding of next steps that you can begin implementing right away. 

What sleep training methods do you use?

I recommend several different sleep training methods. It depends on your preferences, your child's temperament, what your goals are, and finally, what you feel most comfortable with. I will review all of the options with you, and you decide what's best for your family. All of my methods are highly effective when implemented correctly and consistently. Regardless of which method you choose, your child will become a more confident sleeper. 

How long does sleep training take?

Typically, sleep training will take anywhere from 1-3 weeks. It depends on several factors such as the age of your child, what your goals are, the methods you choose to use, and how consistent you are. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Who is the restful nights bundle best for?

I recommend the restful nights bundle for families who's child is not falling asleep independently at bedtime and/or not sleeping through the night. This service provides a more hands-on approach with the ability to receive daily coaching and feedback as you make changes we discuss during our appointments. 

What if I have questions?

If you're not sure whether the restful nights bundle or single call (sleep questions and answers) would be a better fit for your family, or if you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. You can also send me an email at hello@sierranevadasleep.com with a brief description of what's going on with regards to your child's sleep, and I can provide guidance. 

What is a sleep consultant?

A sleep consultant is a professional who provides education, advice and support to help improve your child's sleep. I am a certified sleep consultant through the Center for Pediatric Sleep Management.
