OUR APPROACH, BELIEFS AND VALUES

West Coast Sleep Consulting is based off the strong belief that healthy sleep habits make for healthy children. A well-rested child is curious, energetic, happy, playful, and eager to learn. When parents entrust us as their child’s “sleep guide,” they are placing a great deal of trust in us, and we want to let you know that we take this responsibility very seriously.​

We place so much emphasis on accommodating different parenting styles. The bottom line is that you, as a parent, need to be comfortable with your new sleep plan in order for it to work for your child!

Our approach to improving your child’s sleep

is pretty simple:

​We’ll give you honest information about WHY sleep is so important for your child’s well-being.  This will give you all the motivation you need to make changes to your child’s sleep habits, because it truly is what’s best for your child!

 We’ll lay out an easy-to-follow, step-by-step plan that lets you make some choices about what is the right approach for your child.  All children are different, and nobody knows your child better than you do.  We encourage you to use your knowledge of your child to customize his or her sleep plan.

 We’ll show you how to measure success.  No, you shouldn’t expect your child to sleep 12 uninterrupted hours on the first night — although it does happen!  But we will be right there with you along the way letting you know what to expect.

​

No Judgement!

​

We will meet you where ever you are at in your baby's sleep journey! Do not be ashamed if you feel that you are doing all the "wrong" things! There is nothing wrong with whatever you are doing as long as it works for your family. When it no longer works for you or your little one and the family is suffering, then we will support you to make the changes needed. We assure you that we have been there and completely understand that when your little one is not sleeping you do whatever you can to get some shut eye for you and your family! This is survival! We encourage you to be open and honest with us about what does and doesn't work and rest assured that you will not be judged in return. We strive to create a safe and comfortable relationship with the families that we work with!

  • Crying is your child’s way of protesting change, and you can expect that making changes to their sleep habits will result in some protest. That’s why we’re always sure to tell parents that our program will most likely involve at least some amount of protest on the child’s part.

    Please understand that we will never ask you to leave your child to cry alone, nor will we ask you to ignore their cries. Our method is by no means a “cry it out” approach. The reason that our techniques are so effective is that it lets you develop a plan that you feel comfortable with, based on what you know about your child.
