Camila's Story
Why she became a sleep consultant
I became a mom in a country that wasn't the one I grew up in, with no family nearby and no support system to lean on. There was no one to hand the baby to, no one to tell me what was normal. It became clear very quickly that if I wanted to actually enjoy motherhood instead of just surviving it, sleep was going to have to be part of the plan.
So I read everything I could find. There was no Instagram feed full of sleep advice back then, just books, research, and a lot of trial and error! By 12 weeks, my baby was sleeping well, and I felt like myself again.
"That's the part I couldn't stop thinking about: not just that he was sleeping, but that I had gotten there on my own, with information and a plan, and no CIO."
I wanted other parents to feel that too, especially the ones doing it far from home and in a language that isn't their first. I got certified, and I've never looked back.
How we work with families
Evidence-based, not trend-based
Plans are backed by science and support is adapted to your child. Every recommendation is rooted in peer-reviewed pediatric sleep research.
Flexible, family-centered methods
There's no single approach for sleep. Our consultants work with your parenting values and comfort level, so the plan feels just right.
Education over prescription
We help you understand the plan, not just follow it. You get the "why" behind each step, so you can respond with confidence.
