She went from only being able to fall asleep on us, to now being able to fall asleep independently. We feel like we have the confidence to put her to bed now and don't dread bedtime.
“Shanna was incredible. We really struggled with sleep, but didn't want to do a cry-it-out plan. Shanna was so supportive of us and what we wanted and needed, and helped us help our daughter sleep better. She went from only being able to fall asleep on us, to now being able to fall asleep independently. We feel like we have the confidence to put her to bed now and don't dread bedtime. Shanna was always there to answer questions or leave me notes on what we should do based on the day’s individual data. She helped us understand the patterns in our daughters naps that would make for a better bedtime. We’re so grateful for her help.”

My baby now sleeps in her crib at night & for all naps, she falls asleep independently, and with Shanna’s scheduling tweaks her naps continue to lengthen.
“I remember reaching out to Shanna in complete desperation after yet another anxiety filled night of my husband and I trying to rock our screaming baby to sleep for what felt like hours. She was hitting the 4-month regression and I was falling deep into the “google” rabbit hole, reading every sleep blog I could find and getting more and more confused. My body was exhausted, my mind was drained, my anxiety was at an all time high and we reached our breaking point.
Since my daughter was born, we co-slept because she would not sleep in the bassinet, she fought naps, had to be rocked to sleep, held/carried for every nap and the majority of her naps were short. She was completely dependent on us to sleep and the daunting task of moving her to a crib and getting her to sleep independently was insanely overwhelming especially being first time parents. Working with Shanna was the best decision and best investment we’ve ever made. Her methods are based around sleep science, which actually makes everything simplified and clear cut that I felt confident applying the steps and knowing what to do if my baby threw a curve ball at me. BUT if I did have any questions or was second-guessing my instincts, Shanna was there!
She is so kind and extremely responsive that I just felt so supported by her and those “impossible” tasks felt easy to face. My baby now sleeps in her crib at night & for all naps, she falls asleep independently, and with Shanna’s scheduling tweaks her naps continue to lengthen. I am still in SHOCK how quickly and easily my baby’s sleep habits have changed. Now instead of rocking our screaming baby to sleep for most of the night, I’m hanging out on the couch watching The Office while my baby sleeps peacefully upstairs. Thank you Shanna!”
