Newborn Sleep Consultation (age 3 months -1 year)

I offer newborn and infant sleep solutions in a neutral, non-basis, holistic approach. I meet with the parents to discuss the many options of sleep solutions and together we come up with a plan that best fits the child's and family's needs. Contact Emily for an initial free phone consultation and what package is right for your needs.

  • 2 hour in home or phone consultation (includes: assessment, customized sleep plan and 6 follow up emails & phone calls)

  • On-call advice - 60 mins of expert sleep advice (general sleep education and information are offered during these calls). Can be used all at once or incremental.

  • On-site bedtime sleep support - Perfect for parents who want on-site guidance through the bedtime sleep routine. 2 hours of support.

Traveling Doula

One of my passions is travel. I have extensive experience traveling with families and their newborns. I can guide you from the beginning (where to go), during your trip (the itinerary, flights, where to stay, planning your days, etc..) and your final return (how to adjust back, time changes, etc..). Contact Emily for an initial free consultation.
