Certified Gentle Sleep Coach NYC | Erica Shane Childbirth
"I found Erica when I didn't even think I needed sleep assistance. I felt aligned to her gentle sleep process and thought that maybe it was something we should try out with our 13-month-old. We'd been co-sleeping with him, having never co-slept with our oldest two, and lately, it was becoming disruptive. I very much loved being close to my son at night but knew that it was making transitions (in all aspects of our life) more difficult. Erica heard this loud and clear and helped me navigate the emotional changes and slowly integrate a bedtime routine. We started small and she made gentle and kind suggestions to help us one night at a time. Within a few weeks, we established a REAL nighttime routine for my youngest (not just lumping him in with the routine for my older two) and he was sleeping, through the night, in his own space. It felt like a miracle but it was also really just Erica's knowledge and understanding of baby sleep patterns alongside her invaluable experience working with families for many years. She's patient, warmhearted yet firm in her support. She was exactly what my family needed and I highly recommend her!" Jessica V
Gentle Sleep coaching 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 or to sleep independently. Parents utilize their inner knowing all while gaining new perspective and tools to achieve their goals. Read more about my approach.

"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"
