Sleep Counseling Support

Personalized Sleep Support That Actually Feels Supportive

You don’t need to choose between your baby’s needs and your own.

You don’t need another rigid method or one more contradictory tip from the internet. You need sleep support that meets you where you are, support that’s personalized, judgment-free, and built around your baby, your family, and your goals.

You want to be a responsive parent, not a sleep-deprived shell of yourself. But navigating baby sleep is confusing, emotional, and sometimes really lonely. That’s why I offer more than just plans, I offer backup.

Together, we’ll find a sleep solution that works for your baby and for you, with as much support as you need, for as long as you need it.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to baby sleep.

Support Breakdown

  • One-Hour Intake Call

    We’ll talk through your baby’s current sleep patterns, your biggest challenges, your goals, and your parenting values. This is where we start co-creating a plan that feels aligned with your needs and sets you up for realistic, sustainable change.

  • Custom Sleep Plan

    A tailored, comprehensive guide based on your intake call- covering age-appropriate sleep goals, day and night routines, how to approach changes & new boundaries, and troubleshooting tips. This isn’t a rigid schedule; it’s a personalized roadmap you can adapt as your baby grows.

  • Follow-Up Calls

    These 30-minute check-ins give us a chance to fine-tune your plan, talk through new questions, and adjust things based on your baby’s response and needs. Follow-up calls can be used at any time throughout the duration of your package. Many families find these calls just as valuable as the initial plan- because sleep isn’t a “set it and forget it” thing.

  • Email Support

    Unlimited email access for quick questions, reassurance, or help adjusting your plan during the duration of your package. Perfect for when you need guidance but don’t need a full call, emails will be responded to within 24 hours.

    *Included in Baby Got Balance & Baby Got Backup packages

  • "From our first call with Abby we could see the light at the end of the long, sleepless tunnel. The sleep education she provided gave us a realistic and positive framework for what to expect. We appreciated that Abby got to know us and daughter, and provided a personalized plan that matched her developmental needs and our sleep goals as a family. She was communicative and encouraging every step of the way, with a listening ear and helpful guidance, making recommendations and adjustments with us as needed. While Abby may not have a magic wand, her expertise with infants and her patience with their sleep deprived caregivers is the next best thing you could ask for! Her support in person and virtual has been invaluable and we’re so proud of our daughter and the sleep skills she’s developed. As a new parent the content and pressure around sleep is overwhelming. The relief of knowing we could tune out that noise and reach out to Abby was such a breath of fresh air and such a relief! We know that with any bumps in the road sleep-wise she will always be our first call-and our first recommendation to any parents struggling with sleep. "

    -Lizzy J.

  • "My husband and I hired Abby to help our 5 month old daughter sleep better overnight as we were struggling with her waking every 1-2 hours overnight for months. Abby is a miracle worker! Her advice from the beginning before we even started her sleep training journey (or sleep learning as Abby likes to call it) to help us with her schedule helped tremendously so my daughter no longer fought her naps. Abby’s plan was tailored to my daughter, and she was sleeping longer stretches overnight within a few days. I was amazed! Abby's plan for my daughter was very straightforward and we were able to discuss it a few times for any questions I had. She also never pressured me or advised me to do anything I was uncomfortable with and told us to stay consistent and it truly did work! Abby was available for every question we had as my daughter was learning and gave great advice if something in her schedule was off or needed adjusting during the day. That was the biggest benefit to help my daughter stay on track! My daughter now goes to bed in her crib awake with no crying and falls asleep within 5-10 minutes. Our lives have changed for the better ever since working with Abby and I am so grateful we hired her to help us as first-time parents. Her advice is invaluable and it’s the best money I have ever spent on my daughter and family!"

    -Mary Cate R.

  • "Through 14 months, our child had slept through the night and in his own bed only once. After we consulted with Abby, our son has slept through the night in his own bed for going on two weeks now. Abby is truly a miracle worker! Prior to talking with her I always thought that there was only one way of sleep training (which involved having your baby cry it out and was not something I was interested in doing). When my child turned one, they still weren’t sleeping through the night. What used to work for us suddenly started to not, they were fighting bedtime/naps more and it was then that I knew I needed to reach out to Abby. The whole experience of working with her was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, understanding, compassionate, and put all of my nerves at ease. Abby carefully crafted a plan that was tailored to my family’s needs. Since starting the plan, naps and bedtime have been so much better! My child is learning the skills to fall asleep without the risk of losing our secure attachment. Thanks to Abby, we all are getting a better nights sleep. She is an invaluable resource and someone every parent needs in their corner."

    -Hannah D.

  • "I engaged Abby for sleep consultant services after my 15 month old, who we had rocked / fed to sleep every need, started really struggling and having a hard time going to bed and 2 hour wake ups in the middle of the night. Abbey took such a gentle approach and understand my hesitancy to sleep train - I am very responsive to my son and didn't want to use cry it out methods. Abbey heard our issues and concerns, and put together a comprehensive plan for us that was tailored to our sons unique needs. When we started the process, I would text Abbey throughout. She gave me the support I needed to stick with the plan, even when my son was having a really hard time. I felt like I was giving him the support he needed while teaching him the skills to go to sleep. Abbey was so empathetic to how hard this can be! We would text throughout the evening and then she always checked in with me in the morning. Now 2 weeks later he is going to sleep on his own in his crib and sleeping 12 hours! He's so much more well rested and so happier, and I have so much less anxiety around bedtime. I'm so thankful for Abbeys support and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a gentle / attachment-centered approach to sleep training! "

    -Nicole F.

  • "5/5/2024 I'll admit I was leary to hire a sleep coach at first, as I wasn't in love with the idea of sleep training or what I knew of it. Before I signed up to work with Abby, we messaged back and forth and she explained to me that she works with a science based approach and she'd be there along the way. I bit the bullet and signed up to work with Abby to hopefully help myself, my partner and my son get more quality sleep and make naps and night time sleep more restful and relaxing for all of us. As a first time parents, my partner and I didn't know what was normal for our 4 month old in regards to his sleep patterns. Almost every day he'd have false starts, was really dependent on his binky, needed to be rocked to sleep, and most days would wake up at 4 or 5am, and not go back to sleep in his crib and this didn't seem sustainable. We set up a Zoom call with Abby and we sent over our sleep consultant intake form. I was anxious and still a bit hesitant but as soon as I met with Abby, most of my anxiety went away. She was kind, caring, gentle, a great listener and gave sound advice. She really heard what my partner and I were wanting and offered sustainable solutions. She came up with a sleep plan and we set a date to start. I was nervous and unsure if her sleep plan would work in real life, however I was pleasantly surprised that the small changes Abby suggested were really very successful with our son. The changes we made were not harsh, they were gentle and guided by love. Abby was there every step along the way. She was available for us and checked in via text throughout the first few days of implementing the sleep plan an we had another Zoom call to check in. Abby answered all of our questions with confidence and caring wisdom and I could really tell she had lots of experience with babies. Overall, I'm very happy I decided to work with Abby, she was an amazing fit for my family and I'd highly recommend her to anyone. She really cares!"

Not sure what you need?

Let’s talk it through together. I’ll help you figure out what kind of support makes the most sense for your needs and goals.

Baby sleep is one of the most overwhelming parts of early parenting, not just because you’re tired (although, yes… that too), but because the advice is all over the place. One side says sleep training is the only way. The other says any structure will damage your bond. And somewhere in the middle is you, trying to follow your instincts while also really needing more rest.

My sleep counseling approach was created for that middle space.

It’s not about strict routines or letting your baby cry it out. And it’s not about ignoring your own needs in the name of “just following your baby.” It’s about finding what works for your family, developmentally respectful for your little one and realistically sustainable for you.

At the heart of it all is support, so you don’t have to figure this out alone. I’ll walk with you, help you understand what’s going on, create a plan that reflects your values and goals, and be there as you make changes (and troubleshoot the hiccups along the way).

Getting better sleep shouldn’t come at the cost of your confidence or your connection. And you deserve both: a well-rested baby and a parenting experience that feels good.

The Heart of Sleep Counseling

 FAQs

  • Here’s my general rule of thumb:

    Do your child’s current sleep habits feel sustainable?

    If the answer is yes- amazing! Keep doing what you’re doing and feel free to circle back if your answer changes. There is no reason to change anything if what you’re already doing is working for you. There is no “right,” “wrong,” or “bad habits” when it comes to sleep (keeping safety in mind of course!).

    If your answer is no, let’s chat! Babies won’t sleep perfectly every night, but if things don’t feel manageable there is a lot that can be done to help! Let’s talk through your struggles, concerns, and goals to determine if my support is the right fit.

  • All of the above! I support families with all kinds of sleep setups and feeding journeys—no judgment here. Sleep and feeding are largely intertwined, this is something we will discuss often to ensure baby is getting enough to eat and your milk supply is protected (if you choose to breast/chest feed!).

  • I can't necessarily give a true "typical length" because there are a few very important variables! 

    1. The age and development of baby (with younger babies especially I tend to work in phases to honor their stage of development). 

    2. The results the parents are looking for and where they started.

    3. Consistency of parent behavior is. If you follow the plan and are extremely consistent, I can pretty much guarantee you will see improvement in as little as 4 nights. If you aren't as consistent, it will be harder for baby to learn and adapt, so it will take longer.

  • I work with children ages 0-5.

    Baby Got Bedtime and Baby Got Boundaries are best suited for ages 3 months and older.

    Baby Got Backup is designed to support families in the newborn stage through the first year, and can begin any time before the age of 6 months.

  • That’s what free intro calls are for! I’ll ask you some questions about your current struggles, concerns, and goals and help you decide which level of support is the right fit for you.

    Here are some general guidelines:

    • Baby Got Bedtime is great for families with babies 3 months+ who know they are ready to make a change, feel confident in their ability to stay consistent, and just need some guidance and accountability to help them get there.

    • Baby Got Boundaries is ideal for families with babies 3 months+ who want to make a change but feel overwhelmed by the process and want some more handholding. This is also the ideal package for families with babies who have more sensitive temperaments and want to implement bigger changes (such as moving from bedsharing to crib sleeping). The longer duration of support allows us to approach these changes in gradual phases.

    • Baby Got Backup is designed for first time parents who don’t know what to expect when it comes to baby sleep, 2nd+ time parents who struggled with their first baby’s sleep and want to do things differently, and parents who want access to support throughout multiple developmental changes and transitions.

  • Maybe! Every baby is different, and some have more sensitive temperaments than others. Some adapt to changes very easily, others take a bit more time. The truth is that crying is the only way babies are able to communicate. When making any changes or holding new boundaries, it is natural for babies to have feelings and therefore communicate them through cries. However, I will not ask you to leave your baby to cry alone- you will be right there with them through these changes, comforting them through your presence, voice, and touch.

  • I will support you through the process of supporting your child :)

    While some sleep consultants offer a “done for you” option, this is not something I find to be most helpful. This is for a few reasons:

    1. Stranger danger- your baby doesn’t know me! In order for babies to learn new skills, they need to feel safe and comfortable. Having a stranger in the room at night would be unsettling to anyone.

    2. Babies recognize and respond differently to different caregivers. This means that even if I got your baby to sleep a certain way for me, you’d likely have to go through the process again once I’m gone for them to understand that these changes are here to stay.

    3. Consistency is the key! While this process involves your baby learning and practicing new skills, it also largely dependent on your behavior and mindset as the caregiver. I teach you how to navigate this process so that you know what to do and can remain consistent with your behavior even when we’re finished working together! Understanding your baby’s cues, needs, rhythms, and how to respond to them is the key to lasting results.

    For babies under 4 months I do offer an in-person option for “Sleep Doula Shifts” where we walk through the process together. For babies older than 4 months I find the presence of a new person to be distracting and find virtual support to be more effective.

  • I’m so glad you asked! By choosing to work with me as your sleep counselor, you’re getting so much more than just a generalized sleep plan.

    1. You get a custom sleep plan tailored to your baby, parenting style, and lifestyle based on your own input and feedback.

    2. Peace of mind knowing that the approach you’re taking is developmentally appropriate, rooted in attachment theory, breast/chest feeding friendly, and designed to protect the wellbeing of both you AND your baby. The techniques I use are all about co-regulation, the basis of attachment theory. You don’t need to leave your baby alone to cry!

    3. Emotional support. Parenthood is overwhelming, sleep deprivation is exhausting, and navigating it all is a lot for one person to handle. In working together you have access to an unbiased, non-judgmental safe space. A cheerleader in the good moments and a shoulder to cry on in the tough ones. My goal is to help you navigate sleep in a way that feels sustainable to your whole family.

    4. Accountability! Having someone to check in, keep you on track, and talk through any confusion or doubts can make all the difference in committing to a plan.

    5. Flexibility. I won’t give you rigid schedules that end up adding more stress. Together we will come up with daily rhythms to guide you as you just live your life! I will also listen to your feedback and adjust plans as necessary.

    6. Ongoing support- I’m not here to hand you a plan and leave you to figure out the rest. My packages are designed to create a longterm relationship so that you have somewhere to turn if things start to feel hard again.

  • Great question- and one I love to answer! My plans do work — when families are ready, aligned, and consistent, most see meaningful progress quickly. And I’ll always make sure you leave with the tools to navigate future changes on your own.

    That said, babies change a lot in their first year — sleep needs shift, nap transitions happen, regressions hit, daycare starts, teething throws a curveball, and routines get disrupted. Even with a solid foundation, it’s totally normal to get off track, lack consistency, or feel overwhelmed trying to adjust things on your own.

    Ongoing support means you’re not alone when those changes come up. Instead of second-guessing yourself or falling down a Google rabbit hole, you’ve got someone who already knows your baby, your values, and your sleep goals — ready to help you tweak the plan, talk through decisions, or just remind you you’re doing a great job.

    It’s like having a guide on the trail with you — not just someone who handed you a map and wished you luck.
