The importance of sleep
Sleep is one of the basic physiological needs. Healthy sleep in quality and quantity is fundamental to being and staying healthy, as is a healthy diet. It is on this path that I accompany families.
Topics like breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby rhythms, mothering, carrying, closeness to the child and care are at the center of my concerns.
I am a mother, and like all mothers, I have sought the best for the physical, psychological and emotional health of my child. I will never ask you to compromise on your believes or parenting style. The support I offer is unique to very child and every family.
My biggest dream would be for any parent to be sufficiently informed about sleep, to be able to make informed choices for the sleep of their child, from birth.
Be part of it!

Sleep & Science
More and more studies show the harmful consequences of the lack of sleep on the health of children, both physical and psychological.
The benefits of sleep are endless at any age, but especially for children from 0 to 3 years old, when the child acquires fundamental cognitive and psychomotor skills.
Dr. William Dement, founder of the Center for Sleep Research at Stanford University, has conducted extensive research that suggests that sleep is the most important determinant of people's lifespan – more influential than diet, exercise, or heredity.
Our society ignores the importance of sleep for infants and toddlers. Current research shows that between 20-30% of infants and toddlers have difficulty sleeping. Many sleep-deprived children also begin to develop "hyperactivity" or "hypersensitivity." They may even develop “attention deficit” disorders.
Accompanying families and babies towards better sleep as much as towards healthy eating
Today, more and more mothers are accompanied by breastfeeding consultants, parenting support associations, but when it comes to baby and toddlers sleep, it seems that even health professionals and midwives are miss-informed.
While all scientific institutions, and parents are very well aware on the topic of food and breastfeeding (which is a major step forward), we find a void on the subject of sleep even though many studies and scientific data allow us to know precisely the needs of babies and children in terms of sleep.
It's never too late to accompany your child towards better sleep. You will see a rapid return to good sleep habits, your baby will be able to catch up on his sleep debt and return to healthy sleep quotas.
