Navigating the Waters
A gentle sleep shaping & coaching program
"Before working with Erica, I would spend HOURS bouncing on the ball attempting to get my 5mo to sleep and sometimes it honestly just felt like I was making him more awake and agitated. After just days of support with Erica, he seems to finally be getting "quality" sleep and much more of it! Almost everyone that comes over to visit seems to notice how much happier and well-rested the little guy is! 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. I realize that this will all fall into place with some coaching in a couple months when he’s ready. I feel infinitely better about his sleep (and mine) than I did when I first reached out. Erica is truly a sleep magician". Diana, month 5

Part 2: Gentle Sleep Coaching for children 6 months and beyond
“Before returning to Erica for coaching support, my 6mo son was starting to wake up every 1-2 hours, only going back to sleep with more nursing. We were both exhausted and frustrated. I knew I did not want to try cry-it-out, but I was also of the mindset that, given his temperament, maybe he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep on his own and/or sleep through the night until he was much older. Working with Erica’s wonderful guidance and her tailored approach, my son learned to fall asleep independently in just a few nights. I was able to coach my son in a way that was comfortable for me and my son in order to get the sleep he and I both desperately needed, and I had Erica’s help each step of the way. She is one of a kind and I highly recommend her!” Diana, month 7

Before working with Erica, I had a lot of anxiety around my son’s sleep habits and schedule. We were looking to get our 2.5yr old son on a more consistent nap schedule and nighttime routine, and what we loved most about working with Erica was her flexible and low-stress approach. Erica was always really kind and encouraging, keeping our adjustments manageable and reminding us that sleep coaching tends not to be linear.” Jeannette
"Erica helped me navigate the emotional changes from leaving a co-sleeping relationship and helped us slowly integrate a new bedtime routine. 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." Jessica
“Our son wasn’t sleeping terribly but we knew it could be better. Gentle coaching is 100% the reason our son now puts himself to sleep and sleeps through the night. Erica’s kindness and calming guidance really helped us feel confident in what we were doing everyday. We can’t thank Erica enough.” Denise
"Erica is a thought leader for all things birth related. Her expertise goes back almost 2 decades. She not only helped my child get to bed...she helped me uncover the parent I wanted to be." Jill
