Hi, I’m Hava , Certified Sleep Consultant
As a 2x certified Sleep Specialist, I have an in-depth knowledge of the science behind pediatric sleep. Using developmental psychology & an extensive understanding of attachment to guide my approach, I am skilled at helping families strengthen their familial relationship while educating parents on how to get the best sleep possible without sleep training. I work extensively with children 0-6 years of age. My job is to support your instincts and help you better understand your child’s cues. I’ll work with you to identify sleep solutions through responsive parenting practices and connected relationships — without resorting to traditional separation-based sleep training techniques.
My education includes:
Bachelor’s Degree with studies in Psychology
Certified Baby-led Sleep Specialist from Isla Grace Sleep
Certified Infant Sleep Educator & Specialist with Bebo-Mia
The Holistic Sleep Coaching Program
And extensive continuing education in infant mental health, attachment, early years sleep & breastfeeding.
My Approach to Sleep and Wellbeing
My approach places an emphasis on parental instincts and a baby’s cues. My mission is to help parents find sleep solutions through responsive parenting practices while building connected relationships.
I like to view infant sleep as a complex puzzle, with each baby having their own unique pieces. The key factors in this puzzle include underlying medical conditions, individual sleep needs, sensory requirements, temperament and personality, birth history, home life, and parental mental health. While there are other factors at play, these are the major ones.
When working with a family, I thoroughly examine their baby's characteristics and sleep patterns before addressing these puzzle pieces. Remember, each puzzle is unique, so my recommendations for each family will differ based on their child's individual needs. For some children, addressing underlying medical conditions may be crucial, while for others, addressing sensory needs or temperament might be key.
This diversity is what makes my job exciting and fulfilling, as every family and baby I work with are different, ensuring that it never feels repetitive. Holistic infant sleep support means understanding the unique child in front of me and determining what their puzzle looks like, as well as identifying the missing or misaligned pieces that need adjusting, in order to maximize rest and wellbeing for the entire family.
