Why hire a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant?Your child's sleep deserves personalized attention. Having been through extensive training in the Sleep Sense™ Consultant Certification program, I am personally endorsed by Dana Obleman as a Pediatric sleep trainer to give you all the right solutions, quality tools and support to better your child's sleep. Your custom sleep consultation is specifically created for your child to give you solutions that fast-track their transition to better sleep. I will walk beside you with continuous follow-up support that allows me to identify and further customize your sleep plan to ensure success.
-
Will my child cry during sleep training?Probably. Crying is your child’s way of communicating and you can expect that making changes to their sleep habits will inadvertently bring on some frustration because they haven't yet figured out what's going on. Crying during sleep training is also indicative of a child's level of sleep debt. Change is never easy, but health-benefiting sleep is worth it and they'll be set for years to come! With consistency and dedication to following the sleep plan, progress will happen quickly.
-
Will I need to stop breastfeeding during sleep training?Breastfeeding is the primary source of nutrition for babies under 1 years of age. As your sleep coach, I encourage and promote moms to continue to breastfeed/bottle feeding/formula feeding during the implementation of your custom sleep plan which will include an individualized feed routine.
-
Do I need to leave my child to Cry-It-Out during sleep training?No! While most books and programs dealing with child sleep issues are based largely around the “crying it out” method, I believe in being supportive to your child while they learn to fall asleep on their own. That’s why the Sleep Sense™ Methods I use in your sleep consultation encourage parent participation and responsiveness to your child. I would never ask to leave your child alone to cry. The reason that my sleep plans are so effective is that it lets you develop a plan that you feel comfortable with, based on what you know about your child.
-
When can I begin sleep training my baby?My sleep consultations are suitable for children from 0-6 years of age with age-appropriate sleep goals that are catered to each child and family. The primary focus for babies under 4 months of age is to set up healthy sleep habits so they help shape their sleep success for the future.
-
Am I guaranteed success with your sleep consultation?My sleep consultations are extremely effective. Success with sleep training relies on a commitment to the sleep plan and the process. Following as close as possible to my gentle, effective sleep recommendations will bring you the same success so many families have already benefited from. Constant communication during your sleep training support ensures progress is on track to reach success. Along the way, I will ensure changes are made as needed to continue to see positive results in your child's sleep. My goal is to leave clients feeling relieved and satisfied with the progress their child has made. The most common feedback I receive is, "I wish we had invested in this sooner!"
-
What's the process involved in working with a sleep coach?After you complete a comprehensive questionnaire about your child’s sleep habits and routines, I will have all the information to create a sleep plan that is customized to fit your child. I will then schedule a 1-1 sleep consultation (virtual or in-person) to go through your step-by-step sleep plan so you have a clear path to success. Once you begin executing the sleep plan, I will make sure you never feel alone or stuck during the sleep training process. You will receive live, personal support from me for 3 weeks (varies between packages), where I review your sleep tracker daily and provide feedback using text messages, email and scheduled phone calls. This sleep training support is the KEY to my clients' success.
-
How do I know your sleep training methods will work for my child?The best way to know is to book a no-obligation "Let's Get Acquainted" free call with me. I will assess your specific situation to ensure your child is developmentally and emotionally ready for sleep coaching. I will share with you what's involved in the sleep training process and give you the confidence of what to expect for your sleep consultation.
-

Rest assured, time change often works to your advantage and I will ensure you have support at the times you need it. In-home sleep consultation available across the Lower Mainland (including but not limited to Burnaby, Vancouver, Richmond, Langley, Tsawwassen, Lader, Maple Ridge, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta and Surrey.

Laura, Vancouver BC (6.5mo old)
I worked with Adela to reduce early morning wakings. My baby was consistently waking between 4:45-5:00 am. I tried various sleep training techniques that I found online but nothing was working. Adela met with me to learn more about what we were currently doing for naps and nighttime sleep. She coached me through what we needed to do by tweaking our wake windows and sleep routines and observed my day and night sleep patterns. She was also available to answer questions along the way. Now my little guy is sleeping in until 7 am and we are both so grateful.
Pooja, Vancouver BC (7mo old)
My baby was 7 months old when he just started waking every 2 hour throughout the night. This was the time when I decided to contact Adela for help. She helped me understand entire process of sleep training. Guess what! With her help by the 2nd night my baby slept through the night for 10.5 continuous hour. Mind you, it’s not a miracle! It’s a teamwork of parents, baby and your sleep trainer. But for a sleepless parents it indeed is a miracle! Wow! My decision to contact Adela for help was one of the best decision I made after having my first baby. She is extremely helpful , answered all my questions in detail, she is amazing with follow-ups too. If anyone is reading this review, she helped my baby to sleep throughout the night ; EVERY NIGHT and yes she can help your baby too!

If you are looking for a sleep coach for your baby, search no more! Adela is an expert; more importantly, she can empower you with her expertise. Our 7-month-old used to wake up very frequently at night, and we desperately needed quality sleep for him and us. We used every possible sleep prop and web-driven technique to get him to sleep, but all in vain. That’s when we decided to contact Adela. She identified and addressed all the issues related to our LO’s sleep and made a custom-based sleep plan for him. As a result of her training, our son is now sleeping through the night, and we feel confident about making any tweaks to his schedule. She sets you up for the present and prepares you for the future. We are very thankful to her for all the support, meticulous efforts, and flexibility around our child's sickness amidst the training. Adela is indeed a blessing to us, and I am sure she is someone who you can trust and count on!
Kathryn, Vancouver BC (13mo old)
We went one year without sleep training. We were convinced we didn't need it. Here is why it helped. A sleep coach keeps you accountable, you track your babies sleep each night and day, allowing you to see where things need changing. I was very hesitant on letting my baby cry, however, it is true that a small amount of crying turned into way less crying in the long run. Within three days our baby was sleeping through the night. In, fact the first night she made it all night. My life has changed. I have time in the evening for myself and my coworkers are saying how rested I look. My connection with my daughter is stronger because I am more present in our time together. Adela worked with us every step of the way to encourage trust in the method and navigate little things that came up. I am so glad we made the decision to get a sleep coach and I highly recommend Adela. I will be using her again when we have a second baby.
Mike, Vancouver BC (5mo old)
There is so much information on sleep training/development which can be overwhelming, especially for new parents. Adela offered a clear way forward, while respecting our values and preferences. Though we had already implemented sleep environment and routine measures with our son, we weren’t seeing the results we were hoping for in order to support quality sleep. Adela was a huge help in addressing our concerns and supporting our son’s sleep development through both a structured approach and customized tweaks through continual assessment of his sleep. We went from our month old son waking every 1-2 hours during the night and taking short naps to him sleeping throughout the night and getting great day naps in his crib within a week. Adela helped us locate areas where we could help our son get better sleep, and the results speak for themselves. Adela helped cut through the “mystery” of sleep training and offered practical and thoughtful advice and support. We would highly recommend her for her professionalism and practical advice. Thanks again, Adela!
