Sleep Challenges

Sleep is not just a behavior—it’s a reflection of how safe the body feels to let go. When sleep is disrupted, inconsistent, or exhausting for a family, it’s often the nervous system’s way of saying: I don’t feel safe to rest.

 

I support infants, toddlers, and children who struggle with:

• Difficulty falling or staying asleep

• Frequent night waking

• Restless sleep or body tension during rest

• Sleep regressions that don’t resolve

• Extreme fatigue during the day despite long sleep hours

• Sleep patterns that seem tied to feeding, digestion, or developmental changes

 

Rather than focusing on rigid routines or cry-based sleep training, I work to uncover and support the underlying drivers of sleep disruption—whether they’re related to retained reflexes, oral tension, digestive discomfort, trauma, or nervous system dysregulation.

​

This approach supports:

• Creating safety in the body and environment

• Releasing stored tension that interferes with rest

• Supporting co-regulation at bedtime and during night wakings

• Helping families find rhythms that feel sustainable and nurturing

• Empowering parents to trust their intuition instead of following prescriptive sleep methods
