Sleep Coaching FAQs

What makes your approach to sleep support different?

My approach is holistic, responsive, and truly personalized. I don’t use cry-it-out or push your baby into generic wake windows or rigid schedules. I don’t believe in labeling things like feeding, rocking, or contact naps as “bad” habits. The only question is whether a pattern still feels sustainable, and you get to decide that.

Sleep doesn’t exist in a vacuum, it’s connected to everything else in your baby’s world. That’s why I take time to understand the full picture: development, temperament, sensory needs, feeding patterns, etc. Just as importantly, we consider how you’re doing as a parent, and look at your values and needs in this season of life, building a plan that supports your child and you.

How is this different from buying an online sleep course?

Online sleep courses can be a great starting point if you’re highly motivated and feel confident figuring things out on your own. But most are one-size-fits-all, and they can leave you feeling overwhelmed when things don’t go as planned. With a coach, you’re not doing it alone. I’m here to guide you through the entire process- to troubleshoot, adapt, celebrate wins, and offer support when things feel hard. A lot of families start online programs but never finish them because there’s no one to ask questions or help when they get stuck. Having someone walk with you makes a huge difference.

What kinds of sleep challenges do you help with?

I support families through frequent night wakings, contact-only naps, dropping naps, false starts (when baby wakes soon after bedtime), early morning wakes, separation anxiety, and bedtime battles or fears. I also help with transitions like moving to a crib or floor bed, or shifting away from bed sharing.

How long does your sleep coaching take?

Every child and family is different, but if you're consistent with the sleep plan we create together, most families see significant progress towards their goals within a few days to a week.

Can you help if my baby is still feeding at night?

Absolutely. You don’t have to night-wean to get sleep support! Many families keep one or more feeds overnight while still building more independent sleep.

Will my child cry?

If we're changing a sleep pattern your child is used to, especially one that’s been in place for months or years, some crying or protest is a completely normal part of the process. Just like starting daycare or learning any new skill, change often brings big feelings, and crying is your child’s way of communicating their preferences about the change. In my sleep support, I coach you how to help your child feel safe and supported through their big feelings, while holding loving boundaries.

Do you work with families who co-sleep or bedshare?

Yes. If you would like to stay bed sharing but make it more sustainable, I offer this support. Many families end up bed sharing at some point, even if it wasn’t the original plan. In my view, everyone with a baby or expecting- even if they never plan to bed share- should be educated about safer bed sharing practices.

My child is neurodivergent. Can you support us?

Yes! I’m currently completing specialized training in supporting families with neurodivergent children, including those with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing differences.

Do you offer virtual or in-person support?

My sleep coaching is virtual, and I work with families across the U.S. and internationally.

I also offer limited in-person support in and around Fort Collins, Colorado (for babies under 5 months). Reach out if you're local and interested!

Do you offer any discounts?

Yes! I reserve two spots per month for my 2-week sleep package at 50% off, specifically for families who otherwise wouldn’t be able to access support. If cost is a barrier, feel free to reach out to learn more. I also occasionally post other discounts on Instagram—come say hi over at @wildmoonsleep.
