Certified Gentle Sleep Coach NYC | Erica Shane Childbirth
I am a certified Gentle Sleep coach and veteran doula who works with both sleep and parent wellness. I offer a basic Sleep Foundations Consult for those looking for one-time support, as well as a Complete 2 week Gentle Sleep Coaching Package that includes personalized coaching to help you achieve your child's sleep goals, day by day. My most popular package, the Family Wellness Support Bundle, includes even more: supporting families in navigating the delicate transition to parenthood.
I work with parents who are ready to make changes, those who need expert and developmentally appropriate support and information, plus those who seek the personalized care that is missing on all the internet groups and sleep/parenting books.
The Gentle Sleep way is a gradual, developmentally-aware approach to sleep that doesn't require leaving your child alone to cry. It's a method that offers plenty of support while giving the child the space they need to learn new sleep skills and/or to sleep independently.
Every kind of sleep goal and parenting style fit into the coaching process. You are unique, your goals are too, and I will help you to achieve them. I work with infants and toddlers of all ages. Set up a complimentary call with me today to learn more about which option is best for you.
“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 Raley

"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. The thing that makes Erica so special is her heart. She is truly empathic, and cared for me as a new mother, just as much as she was caring for our baby. I cannot imagine he would be as loving and trusting as he is now without her early influence. Erica allowed me to have such a happy early experience with our son, and I will forever be deeply grateful to her"
