Gentle Sleep Coaching and New Parent Wellness with Erica Shane | NYC & Global
"I cannot say enough things about this wonderfully kind and professional person. Erica came into our family as a healing, nurturing, and calming presence. We were new parents with all the anxiety and naivete that comes with the gig, and it was a huge relief every single time Erica would offer her extensive wisdom, and kind energy, always making sure to build our confidence as Mom and Dad."

"My 5mo old seems to finally be getting quality sleep and much more of it! He is so peaceful during his nighttime routine now it’s almost as if he’s enjoying it and knows I’m helping him get the good sleep he needs. Every day since he was born I would spend HOURS bouncing on the ball attempting to get him to sleep and sometimes it honestly just felt like I was making him more awake and agitated. Proud to say I haven’t bounced on the ball in over a week now! I don’t feel pressure from others who have done CIO or other sleep training with babies who are 6 months or younger. You are truly a sleep magician". Diana

If you are ready to wake up each day more rested & deeply clued in to you child's developmental process (and for years to come!), you’re in the right place!
(this takes a combination of a tried and true method, dedicated hand-held support and much consistency!)
I am on a mission, to change the way parents and babies receive care after the bliss of pregnancy, birth, and the immediate postpartum are over. Through all the developmental leaps & challenges, parents deserve a combination of compassionate & science-based support. No one needs to cry-it-out. You can learn to do this in a more conscientious way.
Families not only experience profound results from our work together, they also carry away tools on navigating sleep and behavioral issues as they arise, for months and years to come. My goal is that you are less stressed, and more equipped to lovingly deal with the ups and downs as they arise, present and future. You're child (and you) will learn at the pace you choose, and I'll be with you every step of the way.
So...are you bouncing on a pilates ball for hours at a time? Nursing at every hour? Not sure why your baby is crying? Are you wondering why you can't put your baby down? Are you exhausted, and getting conflicting advice from friends and mom groups that is driving you up the wall? Do you know deep inside, there is a way to feel connected to your baby, and get the rest you need, without wondering what everyone else's babies are doing?
Is your older baby or child still co-sleeping and you'd like to make the transition to the crib or a bed? Are you ready to drop nursing every 2hrs? Are your children in bed too late, or running to your bed at 2am? Are they having a hard time napping?

I became a certified Pediatric Gentle Sleep coach after 2 decades as a labor & postpartum doula and lactation counselor. After having a baby in 2016, I didn't know a professional in my childbirth circles who could guide and educate me on each specific stage of infancy (ages 0-6mo) and all the months and sleepless nights that came after. If I had, I might have bypassed weeks of exhausted, borderline postpartum depression, confusion, and other dis-empowered feelings.
I am here to tell you that you can make changes that benefit your entire family structure. I am here to teach you how to be with your child, not how to leave them.
Together, we will help your child learn to achieve their best sleep. You will work at a pace that serves your family, and build confidence & develop more realistic expectations along the way. Most important, you'll create the space for your child to learn, and thrive, as they are meant to.
“Erica is the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable right from the start. She's warm and caring and a natural nurturer. Before she worked with our family, my husband and I were up until ten o'clock most nights putting our two young children to bed. With Erica's patient and steadfast guidance, we persevered and were able to improve our children's sleep schedules across the board. Now both our children are napping consistently, sleeping for longer stretches, and are in bed by 7:30 every night. We are so grateful for Erica's knowledge and compassion and give her our highest recommendation!” Erin
