Meet Shannon.

With a career in education and a passion for creating enriching moments for children in nature and the classroom, Shannon is a caretaker and a guide through + through. When she became a mom herself, the world of parenting and infant care opened up and she embraced it with excited and willing arms. Then came the late-night googling…and the thousands of books on babies…and the second guessing if we were doing it right…and the overwhelming options for parenting styles, child rearing methods, and feeding and sleep topics galore! As a life-long learner, she enjoyed discovering the science and personal content available on infant development + needs. It fueled her journey raising her daughter, Ruby. But man, it was hard! Why don’t they send you home with a step by step guide and an expert to come live with you? Well then she found said expert- a pediatric sleep consultant! Continued…

Choose whats right for your family.

I offer a few different ways to help. As each parent, child, home and situation are different, your approach to getting better sleep for all is unique as well.

Here’s how it works >

 

First I get to know you and your baby through an intake form that can get us started in finding the best fitting approach.

Next, we connect! This process is possible through the teamwork of the caretakers in baby’s life and my skills and resources to guide you. You put in the intention and efforts and I’ll do the rest! Depending on which package you choose, I can provide:

  • Sleep plan for your child with nap and bedtime routines and schedules (including how they shift and adapt).

  • How to soothe your baby when they protest being put to bed.

  • What ideal environment and sleep/awake time frames the average baby that age prefers. Your baby’s temperament and your lifestyle help shape these guidelines as well.

  • Support letting go of tricks or time-consuming processes you have been using to help baby sleep and now want to drop. Also can provide information on feeds that may or may not be for soothing rather than nourishment (always based on your doctor’s recommendation and your choice/desire to make adjustments).

  • Understanding the science of sleep and possible reasons behind night waking or short/refused naps.

  • Real-time text support so you’re confident to make the best choice while navigating the new or challenging world of sleep training or addressing difficult sleep behaviors.

  • Shared document or app to log baby’s activities in a shared virtual environment so the whole team can see patterns and know what to expect. Babies can’t verbally tell you what they need, but having a sleep log can work wonders in creating a communication lane. As your sleep educator with experience and clinical resources to support, I can help to translate.

 FAQs

 

  • A guide and educator in your baby’s sleep hygiene, biological needs of sleep, safe sleep practices, and can provide a review and layout of the timing of night and day sleep while offering support and guidance.

  • I am able to absorb the information and present it to you easy to understand and execute. I can use mindful exercises and a simple approach to make the tense and overwhelming situations more manageable.

  • Answer these questions: Have you felt frustrated not knowing what to do when your baby wakes unexpectedly? Do you worry about whats coming next with dropping naps, transitioning to a different sleep space, travel or normal child development? Are you tired? Do you have anything about your family’s sleep situation you would change? Book the free 30 minute call to chat about your answers. They may be simple answers I can help with in a consolidated way.

Client Gratitude

  • "Before Calm and Sleepy her sleep patterns were unpredictable and chaotic. She'd be up at 6am and going to bed at 11pm and she only wanted to sleep being held. After the second night of Calm and Sleepy support she was sleeping through the night for 12 hours uninterrupted."

    -Amazed parent

  • "Shannon helped my family to reach new levels of calm and sleepiness! Not only is my daughter sleeping longer consolidated stretches at night (and napping consistently)— she’s also falling asleep from awake independently (EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.)!! This is huge for us! ...Calm and Sleepy helped us to achieve sleep goals that truly felt unattainable— THANK YOU SHANNON!"

    -Mom of happy baby

  • "Life changing. We have our nights back! Shannon was so helpful through this whole process. An invaluable service."

    -A Grateful Dad

  • "Shannon provided us with the support, structure, and knowledge we needed to implement sleep changes that have made a world of difference in our lives. BIG thanks to her for listening carefully, diligently piecing together a personalized sleep plan, and empowering us to take next steps! She uses gentle methods (that implement mindfulness and love) to help navigate shifting sleep habits."

    -Family full of love

  • "Shannon was extremely supportive and gave me the confidence that I needed to sleep train my second daughter. Shannon helped craft a plan that was effective but more gentle. My daughter turned out to be a quick study and Shannon was a big part in our success! Don’t be afraid to ask for help!!!"

    -Well Rested

  • "This program gave us confidence to do what was best for her as well as knowledge and support."
