Waterloo Region’s Experienced Sleep Consultants
Baby Sleep Training
A Better Bedtime Starts Here
You don’t have to be sleep-deprived for years on end, just because you became a parent. Raising a family and taking care of a household requires energy and focus. As parents, we understand the tremendous role that sleep plays in any family. If you lay down at night feeling anxious about what the night will bring, we can help. We will show you how to solve your child’s sleep challenges so the whole family can be refreshed and healthy.
We understand that there is no “one-size-fits-all” sleep solution for all families. It isn’t as simple as “do nothing” or “leave them to cry all night.” Every family is different, and therefore the strategies to learn how to sleep vary. When determining the right approach for teaching a little one healthy sleep habits, we consider: age, developmental milestones reached, parenting style and much more.
Our calm and supportive demeanour is beneficial while working with families in-person throughout Waterloo Region and via phone and web across North America.
We are dedicated to helping parents teach their children to become independent, healthy sleepers. We feel passionate about sleep being a priority and that a better bedtime can happen for your family, every night.
