Valerie is mom of two boys 4 and 1 year old who had completely different sleep journeys thanks to becoming a Baby-Led Sleep coach. She is a registered social worker and child and family therapist based in Ontario. Her services may be covered in part or in whole by your work benefits provider. Valerie specializes in young children’s (0-6) mental health and their parents, relationships, and anxiety treatment.
As a new mom, when her son was 4 months old her pediatrician informed her that her options were to accept a minimum of 3 years of bad sleep or to sleep train. Neither was the right option for her family. This inspired a search for an approach that would get her sleep and which also aligned with what was important to her.
Valerie found Lauren and the Baby-Led™ Sleep Approach. After transforming her own family’s sleep journey, this is what she has to say, “I am here to tell you that you can support your baby to sleep without using any methods or strategies that make you feel guilty or bad.” Valerie combines her social work qualifications with the Baby- Led sleep certification to support families by providing effective, personalized sleep solutions based on your baby’s biology and family’s values.
Valerie speaks Hebrew and Russian fluently.
