About Me
Hi! I'm Erin. I am a Certified Child Sleep Consultant and Certified Behavior Coach. Most importantly, I am the mother of 4 young children (ages 9, 7, 4 and 2).
Sleep info:
I am certified through the Family Sleep Institute, a comprehensive, evidence-based program. I am trained in a variety of sleep training methods that range from direct to gentle. I always keep the parent's goals and parenting philosophies in mind when I do my consultations and sleep plans. Parents are the experts on their own children and I always make plans that parents are going to be comfortable with implementing. It is the parents that decide which method they want to use. I use only gentle methods with babies (i.e. no Cry It Out).
Having children who are great sleepers is life-changing. That is why I got into this business. I love helping families see and experience the benefits of great sleep.
Behavior info:
I am a former first-grade teacher and I love sharing what I know about all things related to parenting. I am a certified behavior coach through the Early Years certification program (https://theearlyyears.ca). It was an honor to go through this program and I am so excited to share what I learned with other parents. There are so many challenging behaviors that come up in childhood: potty training, hitting, sibling rivalry and the list goes on. I work with parents to change behaviors using positive parenting techniques that keep the child's dignity and the parent-child relationship intact.
I am also passionate about nutrition, lactation, and traveling.
Arguably the biggest challenges parents face involves sleep and negative behaviors. I am here to help!

Why Get a Behavior Coach?
There are many challenging behaviors that come up during childhood. Whining, bedtime battles, hitting, and tantrums are just some of the behaviors that parents struggle with. At some point, children will exhibit behaviors that parents want to change. Now what? There are constructive and counterproductive ways to deal with these behaviors. I have been trained in parenting tools that fall under the "positive parenting" umbrella. This means the tools I teach parents to use keep the child's dignity intact and don't shame, manipulate or coerce. I don't use any kind of rewards systems or punitive punishments. As a result, strong parent-child relationships stay strong. I teach parents effective and positive ways to communicate so that when negative behaviors come up, they can deal with them in a constructive and enlightened way. We work together to find solutions so we can be the best parents we can be. Parenting can be hard and I am here to make it a little easier.
