My Methods
During sleep coaching, we use only gentle methods and techniques, always prioritizing your child’s well-being. My goal is to keep tears to a minimum while helping your little one develop healthy sleep habits. Rest assured, your child will never be left to cry alone—we do not use cry-it-out methods.
Instead, sleep coaching is a supportive process where you, as parents, play a key role in guiding and comforting your child as they learn to sleep more peacefully. This is not the same as traditional sleep training—it’s a gentle, responsive approach tailored to your family’s needs.

A holistic approach
I use a holistic approach to your child’s sleep. This means I will do an extensive analysis beforehand to find out what the reasons for your child sleep issues are. Sometimes it could be something “simple” like over/under tiredness, but in some cases there could be other reasons why your child has difficulties to settle and to sleep. Things that you as as parents are maybe not aware off.
What makes this gentle sleep coaching method so successful?
During sleep coaching I coach you as a parent on how to teach your child to learn how to fall asleep by itself without help and eventually to sleep through the night. You won’t have to leave your child crying alone for hours. During sleep coaching I use the gentle sleep method from Kim West “The Sleep Lady”. Kim West is the author of several bestseller books on the subject of children’s sleep. She is also a well-known child and family therapist. She successfully helped parents all over the world for over 20 years. Kim West has developed a special gentle sleep method. In about 2-3 weeks your child will learn how to fall asleep by itself and self sooth. You as parents will be there for your child to help and reassure them, so they feel comfortable and not left alone.
Every family is different and everyone has a different rhythm and expectations when it comes to their children and their sleep. This is not a one-size-fits-all method. Rather, it’s an achievable, step-by-step method that has a 95% success rate when the child is healthy and parents are consistent. I analyse every family/child individually and set up a personalized sleep plan for every child.
