Meet Our Paediatric Sleep & Behaviour Expert

Kristen knows just how exhausting weeks or months of sleep battles can be. Her daughter was a 30-minute nap queen who required constant motion—dancing or bouncing on a yoga ball—just to drift off. Having experienced nighttime insomnia and anxiety herself as a child, Kristen sought solutions that prioritized both restorative sleep and the parent-child bond; she was determined to break the cycle without compromising family connection, and has since helped hundreds of families on their journey to do the same. Kristen earned her International Child Sleep Consultant certification through the Family Sleep Institute. She is also a member of the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants.

 

In the world of paediatric development, sleep and behaviour aren't just related—they are two sides of the same coin. Day or night, when a child is struggling, the whole household struggles. To bring a whole-picture approach to supporting families, Kristen went on to complete professional Child Behaviour Specialist training through The Early Years Family Development Centre.

Based in Brant, Ontario, where she lives with her husband, 3 year-old daughter, infant son and four fur babies, Kristen’s mission is to help families feel confident as a thriving, well-rested unit.

Her Approach

Contradictory paediatric advice can be overwhelming and confusing. She cuts through the noise by offering:

  • Customized Sleep and Behaviour Plans: Tailored to your specific parenting style and your child’s unique personality.

  • Supportive Implementation: 1:1 support through every step of the process.

  • Skill Building: Practical tools to strengthen your child’s age-appropriate sleep and behavioural abilities.

  • Workshops: Interactive workshops designed to equip parents and professionals with digestible, evidence-based behavioural tools and sleep strategies.

Our Services

Our personalized infant & child sleep consultations are designed to address the unique sleep challenges of your little one. We work collaboratively with parents to create customized, age-appropriate sleep plans that promote healthy sleep patterns and routines and put the plan into action via 2 weeks of daily communication and a

sleep/feed log to support you every step of the way.

Perfect for families who are looking for guidance regarding their infant or child's sleep and feel comfortable implementing the recommendations discussed independently. We provide age-appropriate recommendations in alignment with evidence-based paediatric sleep science and your family’s philosophies to support the improvements you are seeking, with the option to upgrade to a 2 week package.

In addition to our sleep services, we offer behaviour consultations to address a wide range of behavioural challenges including verbal or physical aggression, sibling rivalry or respecting boundaries - providing parents with effective strategies for promoting positive behaviour and managing difficult situations.
