Understanding Normal Infant Sleep
Has everything you have read about infant sleep left you worried that your baby isn’t sleeping “properly”? Advice from well-meaning friends and family can leave you unsure about your babies sleep habits, and worried that something is wrong. Understanding why your baby sleeps the way they do is a challenge for any parent… and once you feel like you’ve “got it”, it changes anyway!! Join this attachment-focused seminar to discover what is normal, what changes to expect and what to do if you are ready for simple change. We can lead our children into anxiety-free sleep, while still meeting our own needs for rest. This workshop will explore what is considered biologically normal sleep for your baby and help you understand more about sleep expectations at different stages of your baby’s development.

Anxiety-Free Parenting: Toddlers to Teens
Are you looking for a deeper understanding of your child’s real needs as they grow? The way we choose to discipline may effect their behavior in the moment, and may effect their feelings about themselves and their ability to be authentic with you. Our words and actions shape our children’s understanding of this world, and may lead to feelings of safety to feelings of constant worry. This workshop is an opportunity to explore the choices we make as parents, in the toughest times of discipline and parenting, and follow the impact of those choices through to adolescence. We will discover whether or not we are supporting our long term goals we have for our children, or if we are simply meeting some immediate-term goals that may not lead to the outcomes we really want as they grow. Be prepared to learn how we can help cause the attitudes and qualities we would love to see in our future child! This class will bring up conversations around Positive discipline, Tantrums, Time outs and separation, Hitting, biting, physical shows of emotions, Attachment and responsiveness, Long term vs Short term goals, and Strategies for success.

The investment for this 2-hour class is $75. Private 90-min class & consultation is $200 at my office/virtual.

Transitioning Back To Work
It’s just around the corner… time to go back to work! You know your babies routine, what they like and how to get them to sleep. How is someone else going to manage all of this? What should you do to prepare for this transition? How much milk should they drink while in someone else’s care? Do I have to wean from Breastfeeding? How can I make the separation easier for my baby (and me!)? Join me for this workshop, to make this next step as anxiety-free as possible for you and your baby.

Babywearing for Beginners
Your baby is here, and LOVES to be held, cuddles and to sleep on your chest! For a new parent, this can feel overwhelming, even though it is normal and even good for our babies. Let me show you how to safely wear your baby in a carrier, so you can meet his intense attachment needs while stealing a hands free break yourself! Letting your baby feel safe on your body, similar to where he lived for his first 9+ months, is OK and will not spoil him! But needing it to be easy and sustainable for you is OK too. Try on wraps, slings, mei tei’s and structured carriers, and discover what the best fit is for you! Or bring along the carrier you already have and learn the safest most comfortable ways to use it.

The investment for this group class is $20. Private 45-min class and consultation is $75 at my office.
