A Better Way: What Holistic Sleep Support Really Looks Like

Sleep. It’s one of the most common struggles for families with babies and young children—yet the advice out there is often confusing, rigid, or completely out of step with what parents actually need.

Maybe you’ve heard it all before…

“Just let them cry it out.”
“Take away all sleep associations.”
“Don’t nurse to sleep or they’ll never learn.”

But what if we told you that none of that is necessary?

What if there was a different way to support your child’s sleep—one that honors your instincts, nurtures connection, and creates real change without leaving anyone behind?

That’s the heart of holistic sleep support. And more and more families are choosing it—because it works.

No More Sleep Strategies That Feel Wrong

We don’t use:

  • Timed checks

  • “Disappearing chair” routines

  • Time-outs or punishments

  • Plans that ask you to ignore your baby’s needs

Why? Because these methods often go against everything your gut is telling you. And most importantly, they’re not necessary.

In fact, studies show that only about 20% of babies sleep through the night by 6 months of age (Sadler, 1994; Hysing et al., 2014). The majority of infants still wake 1–3 times per night well into their first year. This is biologically normal—and not something that needs to be “fixed.”

So What Does Holistic Sleep Support Look Like?

Holistic sleep support is about so much more than getting your baby to sleep longer stretches. It’s about building trust, strengthening relationships, and supporting your whole family—emotionally, physically, and practically.

Here’s what it does include:

Understanding your baby’s natural sleep biology. We set realistic expectations based on age and development—not arbitrary schedules or timelines.

Supporting mental health—for both baby and parent

Because sleep and emotional well-being are deeply connected. We care for your nervous system, not just your schedule.

Honoring the parent-child bond

We never ask you to leave your baby alone in distress. You’ll stay present, connected, and calm—while still creating change.

Creating sustainable, real-world solutions

Your baby doesn’t sleep in a lab. We work with your unique rhythms, needs, and family dynamic to find what actually works.

Still Feeding at Night? That’s Normal.

There’s so much pressure to get babies sleeping “through the night,” but here’s the truth:

  • Night feeds are still normal well into the first year

  • Only a small percentage of babies consistently sleep through at 6 months

  • Most families see gradual improvement—not overnight transformation

If your baby is waking once or twice to feed, that doesn’t mean they have a “problem.” It means they’re doing what their growing body needs.

Our job is to help you find a rhythm that works for your baby—and to help you feel calm and confident while you support them.

“But I Don’t Want to Sleep Train”

You don’t have to.

Our approach is responsive, evidence-based, and family-centred—no harsh methods, no strict rules, no sleep training guilt. Just practical, respectful strategies that meet your baby’s needs and help you get the rest you deserve.

Whether your goals include:

  • Less night waking

  • Smoother naps

  • Easier bedtime routines

  • More predictability in your day

—we’ll get there together. One gentle, connected step at a time.

What Would Change If You Felt Confident About Sleep?

  • If you knew when to expect changes—and how to adapt with confidence?

  • If you had a plan that felt right and respected your child?

  • If you had someone in your corner, supporting you through it all?

This is what holistic sleep support offers. Not just better sleep—but a better experience of parenthood.

You don’t have to choose between sleep and connection. You can have both. And I’m here to help you find that balance.
