What ages do you specialize in for sleep?
I enjoy working with families and children of all ages 0-4 years old. I am passionate about easing into good sleep hygiene in a way that is as smooth as possible and, when possible, in a way that can be led by baby and noticing their natural cues of readiness. This starts during infancy! I love working with families during the first 1.5-4 months of infancy when they transitions are naturally occurring. Many families who work with me as their postpartum doula/NCS do not need any additional sleep work once baby is older.
What ages do you work with for potty training consulting?
I work with families of toddlers ages 12 months- 4 years for potty support. I work with families who are just beginning to consider training and those who are well in, but experiencing set backs.
In addition to the training mentioned, I also have many years of anecdotal experience working with children during their potty training stages as a nanny, sibling doula, and sitter.
Will you do the potty training and/or sleep training efforts for us?
I’m sorry to say, but no I will not. Well, maybe I will do a bit. The thing is, consistency is key when implementing changes and new things for babies and children. That means all caregivers and support staff have to be on board. I can help you build, enact, and tweak an approach that everyone can be on board with implementing, but I do not come in and do the work in full.
If I take your infant massage class, do you massage my baby?
Since I am a Licensed Massage Therapist I can show you how the strokes are done on your baby, but ultimately this class is to teach parents and caregivers about developmental milestones, benefits of massage, and a full body massage sequence that parents can do for their babies.
