But I don't stop there. I'm also a passionate sleep consultant, and you won't find any "cry it out" or rigid sleep training methods in my toolkit.

In my 🌏world, it's all about you. Your ultimate experience matters, and I'm here to make it happen. Whether it's through my midwifery services, coaching or my commitment to your baby's peaceful 💤sleep, I'm all in.
