Every sleep issue is unique, even when it appears similar to another, because each child is an individual with their own set of circumstances and needs. As a holistic pediatric sleep consultant, my approach recognizes that what works for one child may not work for another, even if the outward symptoms—like frequent night wakings or bedtime resistance—seem identical.

​

My comprehensive evaluation process delves into various factors that could be influencing your child's sleep. I consider the child's medical history, as underlying conditions or past health challenges can affect sleep patterns. Nutritional intake is also a key component, as what a child eats, when they eat, and how much they consume can directly impact their ability to sleep soundly. I assess developmental milestones to understand how your child’s growth and learning stages might be contributing to sleep disruptions.

​

The sleep environment plays a significant role as well—elements like room temperature, noise levels, lighting, and even the emotional atmosphere can make a big difference in how a child settles and stays asleep. I also take into account the child's personality and temperament; some children may be more sensitive or more active, requiring different strategies than others. Additionally, family dynamics, routines, and the overall home environment can influence sleep, making a personalized approach essential.

​

By thoroughly examining all these factors, I can identify the root causes of your child’s sleep challenges and tailor solutions that are specific to your family’s unique situation. This individualized evaluation goes far beyond a one-size-fits-all approach, ensuring that the support and guidance I provide are not just quick fixes but truly effective, long-term solutions that address the whole child, fostering healthy sleep habits that last.
