Let's help your family restore balance & harmony, together 

It is a very relative question because it all depends on parents' mindset and their perception. "Hard" is different for everyone. It is important to recognize that changing habits with babies & toddlers does require effort & consistency. Each age has its advantages - babies are not so set in their habits, toddlers understand quickly. Bedtimes may take 1.5h or 20 minutes - because each baby is unique, the process of sleep training is different for each family. It is important set realistic expectations which is what we will do at the beginning of our consultation. 

This is probably one of the most common questions parents ask. The methods I teach are gentle & intermediate and they allow parents to check on their babies in a bigger or smaller extent. I will be 100% transparent with you right now - sometimes, while helping baby learn independent sleep, crying is inevitable, especially when a child is very set in their ways of sleeping or does not adapt to changes easily.

I perfectly understand that when your baby cries, it is your very first instinct to stop it and your own discomfort is better than bearing one second of your child’s. I am certain you know this, but allow me to remind you that babies communicate many different needs through crying (being cold, too hot, bored, unhappy, upset, too simulated, not stimulated enough). Crying is communication. Therefore, when you will be changing your child'd routine, their habits, they may protest new changes by crying. It will be simply their expression of displeasure at the new changes. While we can apply methods that minimize tears, I would be doing you a disservice by saying we can totally avoid them.

I want you to know that I am going to stick with you until we see your goals happen. Until then, I am not leaving your side. I just happen to know it takes about two weeks of commitment and consistency to see significant changes.

If for some reason, we get to the end of two weeks and we are still not quite there, I will continue to work with you until we reach those goals by offering additional support. 

Furthermore, while I commit fully to helping your family, I also consider us a TEAM. I am expecting that if I ask you to do certain things, like fill out the log or answer some questions, you have to do that. So again, while I commit to stay with you until we achieve your goals, I ask that you work with me 100% in communication, consistency, and trusting me to know we are going to do this together. 

Because if you don’t do what I ask or you don't communicate with me, I will not be able to help your family to the best of my ability.
