The importance of sleep
Sleep is one of our most essential physiological needs. Just like a balanced diet, quality and quantity of sleep are fundamental to maintaining physical, psychological, and emotional health. This is the path I walk alongside families.
I focus on topics that matter deeply: breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby rhythms, mothering, babywearing, nurturing closeness, and holistic care.
As a mother myself, I understand the quest to give our children the very best. That’s why I’ll never ask you to compromise your beliefs or parenting style. The support I provide is tailored to each child and family, respecting your unique journey.
My dream is for every parent to feel empowered with knowledge about sleep—to make informed decisions for their child’s well-being right from birth.

Sleep & Science
The Hidden Dangers of Sleep Deprivation in Children
More and more studies reveal the serious physical and psychological consequences of poor sleep in children. The benefits of sleep are countless, especially for children aged 0 to 3, when vital cognitive and motor skills are developing.
Dr. William Dement, founder of Stanford’s Center for Sleep Research, found that sleep is the single most important factor in determining lifespan—more influential than diet, exercise, or genetics.
Yet, society often overlooks the importance of sleep for infants and toddlers. Research shows that 20–30% of young children struggle with sleep. Sleep-deprived children may develop “hyperactivity,” “hypersensitivity,” or even attention deficit disorders, impacting their well-being and development.
Guiding Families Toward Better Sleep and Healthy Habits
Today, more parents turn to breastfeeding consultants and parenting support groups for guidance. However, when it comes to baby and toddler sleep, even many health professionals and midwives lack accurate information.
While scientific research has advanced our understanding of breastfeeding and nutrition, sleep—a critical pillar of health—remains underdiscussed. This gap exists despite numerous studies highlighting the importance of sleep and the specific needs of babies and young children.
The best part? It’s never too late to improve your child’s sleep. With the right strategies, your baby can quickly recover from sleep debt, establish healthy sleep patterns, and enjoy all the benefits of quality rest.
