Be a rested parent.
Teach your child how to sleep in a loving, nurturing environment.
Sasha Hawkes, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Child Sleep Consultant
When both of my children were born I knew that I could never let them cry on their own, that I would always be there for them to help them work through anything. I also realized that if I did not teach them how to sleep, as well as create a predictable environment for them, that my husband and I would be in for a long and chaotic journey.
Through my work as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and my experience with children and families, I have seen first hand how important it is for a child to have a safe and dependable routine. My approach is based on mindful, conscious parenting philosophies and does not involve leaving a child alone to cry.
Many parents believe that it is normal for a child not to sleep during their first years. They come to accept that their lives will be sleepless and unpredictable. This does not need to be true!
What is true, however, is that many children may have difficulty unless they are taught how to sleep.
My belief is that children need to be taught in a loving, nurturing and therapeutic environment that never allows them to cry alone. This is all part of creating a safe and predictable home for your child.
I offer gentle and mindful sleep services for infants and toddlers.
These services are offered on an individual basis where I meet with the family and discuss an individual sleep plan based upon your needs.
One in-person meeting at your home where we discuss healthy and gentle ways to help guide your child to better sleep as they grow. This packages includes personalized suggestions for your newborn as well as 4 months of phone and email support during the early months.
This package includes:
- One 90 minute meeting in your home
- An individualized sleep plan for your family based on your needs and goals
- E-mail and phone support for two weeks
An hour long consultation where we discuss your current sleep issues and possible solutions.
I offer parenting support for families with children ages 0-18 years.
